What is functional medicine?

Functional medicine implements a systems-oriented medical approach that works to identify and understand the underlying causes of an illness or condition. As each patient has distinct and unique needs, functional medicine takes into account the personalization of healthcare. Another important aspect of functional medicine is the relationship between the patient and practitioner. They work together very closely and effectively become a partnership. Every detail of a patient’s medical history is thoroughly reviewed. Functional medicine takes a holistic approach and treats the individual rather than the symptoms or disease.

To obtain a deeper knowledge of the patient’s health status, individual genetic and environmental research is often conducted. Understanding the biochemical individuality of a patient can not only lead to the prevention of additional health risks in the future, but also the underlying causes of a disease. Functional medicine has gained much popularity in the last few decades. Undoubtedly, personalized medicine is the future model of healthcare.

What are some medical aesthetic services offered at Wellife Center?

At Wellife Center, we offer the following aesthetic treatments:

Face — Facial treatments include fillers & injectables, such as Botox, Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse and Xeomin, and microneedling, which is a facial rejuvenation treatment to induce collagen production.

Hands — There are several ways to treat the hands, including limiting exposure to the sun with things such as sunscreen. Another treatment would be a chemical peel. Depending on the skin type and problem, chemical peels are commonly used for skin rejuvenation and would work wonders on hands. They are typically composed of trichloroacetic acid, or TCA, which can be used in varying degrees of concentration.

Body — For the body, we offer non-surgical vampire breast lifts. For more information, visit our Non-Surgical Vampire Breast Lift page.

Glutathione Skin Tone — An antioxidant naturally occurring in human cells, glutathione neutralizes free radicals, detoxifies the body and boosts the immune system. It can also produce effects of skin lightening by deactivating the enzyme tyrosinase and thereby transforming melanin to a lighter color.

Non-Surgical Face Lift — At Wellife Center, we use Liquid Lifts, used to redefine the face with the use of fillers of Botox, Plasma Face Lifts, which use nutrient therapy, skin reconditioning and microneedling, which all stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
