Natural Aesthetics

Natural aesthetics is a concept in the field of cosmetic medicine that focuses on enhancing a person’s appearance in a way that looks subtle and harmonious with their natural features.

The goal is to achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated look without making it obvious that someone has had a cosmetic procedure.

Natural aesthetics emphasizes maintaining individuality and avoiding an overdone or artificial appearance.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) facials and PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a popular treatment option in the realm of natural aesthetics for addressing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin tightening and facial rejuvenation.

Here’s how PDO threads work and their application in natural aesthetics:

● PRP Facial: By harnessing the regenerative capacity of the stem cells and growth factors in your own blood PRP can improve skin tone while decreasing fine lines and wrinkles.

● PDO Threads: These threads are made of a biocompatible material called polydioxanone. They are used in both surgical and non-surgical procedures. PDO threads come in various types, including mono threads, cog threads, and screw threads, each designed for different purposes.

● Procedure: During a PDO thread treatment, a medical professional inserts thin, dissolvable threads under the skin with a fine needle. The threads act as scaffolding, supporting and lifting sagging or loose skin. As the threads are absorbed by the body, they stimulate collagen production, which further contributes to skin tightening and rejuvenation.

● Fine Lines and Wrinkles: PDO threads are commonly used to target fine lines and wrinkles. They can be placed strategically to lift and tighten the skin in areas with wrinkles, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and marionette lines around the mouth.

● Skin Tightening: The stimulation of collagen production caused by PDO threads helps improve skin elasticity, making it appear tighter and more youthful. This can be especially effective in areas with loose or sagging skin.

● Duration and Results: The results of PDO thread treatments can last for several months to a year or more. The exact duration can vary depending on individual factors like age, skin quality, and the type of PDO threads used.

● Natural Aesthetics: PDO threads are a preferred choice in natural aesthetics because they offer a subtle enhancement without drastic changes in facial appearance. The threads provide gradual and natural-looking results, making it less obvious that a cosmetic procedure has been performed.

● Minimal Downtime: PDO thread treatments are minimally invasive, and most patients can resume their regular activities within a few days. Some swelling and bruising may occur but typically subside within a week or two.

Consultation

A consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential to determine if PDO threads are a suitable treatment for a person’s specific concerns. The professional can assess the individual’s facial features and discuss the expected results.If you would like more information please call the office and set up a free 10 minute call with Dr. Heather Wilde to discuss your natural aesthetic options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take insurance?

No, we do not take insurance as they don't typically cover alternative/preventative/functional medicine. But we can send you a superbill and you can submit it to your insurance to see if they will cover it.

Do all of your providers specialize in the same thing?

Yes, all providers are trained to create a PRIME Health Plan in the same way, but each plan is unique to the needs of the patient. So all of our providers are similar in that way. Each provider may also have unique specialities. Typically a patient will come in, receive a PRIME Health Plan and after they're comfortable with how the clinic works they may utilize the advanced services of any provider but the doctor who created their initial health plan will remain their primary provider at PRIME.

What’s your new patient process?

Step 1: Fill out your intake form

Step 2: Schedule your blood work at home (extra fee) or in clinic. You do not need to go to Quest or Labcorp which can be inconvenient and frustrating.

Step 3: Do your Initial Visit and receive your PRIME Health Plan.

Step 4: Get any personalized supplements, peptides, medications right from the clinic (if needed).

Step 5: Continue on your healing journey with support from our doctors, nurses, and medical assistants as needed.

Can I request a specific provider?

You're welcome to ask for a specific provider and we will do our best to accommodate, however since each provider is trained to create a PRIME Health Plan in the same way, and since we heavily vet our providers, you can be confident with any doctor here at PRIME. We recommend that you start sooner with whoever has an opening vs waiting for a certain provider, since our goal is to help get you as healthy as possible as soon as possible.

What initial blood work do you typically do?

Our blood tests go deeper than what you'd typically get from your primary care doctor or any doctor that takes insurance. If you've done lab work within the last year we can use it, but we may need to order anything that is missing so that your doctor here can fully address your needs. Please call us if you have any further questions.

How do you handle blood work?

We are able to do blood draws in our clinic making it very convenient for our patients. We also offer at home blood draws if needed. Your doctor will help you decide which testing is best for your specific scenario. They typically ask a patient to do a little more testing up front until we get your treatment plan dialed in and then you can move into "cruise control" with less testing less frequently as long as you're healthy and feeling good. We can use your blood work from another provider as long as it is less than 1 year old.

Do you guys do peptide therapy?

Yes. We source the highest quality clinical grade peptides and have been offering peptide therapy for a long time (before it was popular.) Our doctors are highly experienced and will help you enjoy the benefits of peptides in a safe way that is personalized to you.
