FAQ
We have accumulated a list of frequently asked questions from our clients that you might find helpful!
1. Am I a good candidate for hormone balance therapy?
While menopause is better known, men, as well as women, suffer the effects of reduced hormone production. Some of the common signs of hormonal imbalance include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Weight gain
- Muscle mass loss
- Moodiness and irritability
- Insomnia
- Libido loss
- Decreased sexual performance
- Anxiety and depression
You may assume these symptoms are an inevitable part of aging, but with customized hormone therapy from the team at Premier Wellness, you can reduce or eliminate your symptoms and enjoy enhanced wellness for many years to come.*
2. What should I expect during hormone therapy?
If you’re suffering from signs of hormonal imbalance, your first step is to schedule an appointment at Premier Wellness. Your physician performs a physical exam including comprehensive blood tests to identify your hormonal imbalances.
Premier Wellness works with specialized compounding pharmacies that custom-make hormone pellets to replace the specific hormones your body needs. When your hormone pellets are ready, your doctor injects the pellets into the subdermal tissue of your upper buttock. The pellets slowly release the hormones, and over the coming weeks and months, your symptoms should subside.
You have frequent checkups with your physician so they can monitor your symptoms and make adjustments to your therapy to ensure you get the optimal results necessary to restore your health, energy levels, sexual health, and overall vitality.
3. What are the benefits of hormone therapy?
Hormone therapy is a highly customized anti-aging treatment designed to enhance your health and longevity. It relieves the disruptive symptoms of aging, increases your energy levels, and helps you feel like yourself, regardless of your age.
*Individual results may vary.
4. Why would i need medical aesthetics treatments?
As you age, your body’s production of new collagen and elastin cells slows, leading to visible signs of aging such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose, crepey skin
- Age spots and other discoloration
- Visible facial veins
Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as a poor diet, smoking, and tanning can accelerate the aging process by damaging your skin and further reducing impairing your body’s regenerative abilities.
5. What should I expect from medical aesthetic treatments?
The team at Renew Wellness & Aesthetics provides comprehensive aesthetic consultations to identify your cosmetic concerns and the best treatments to enhance your appearance.
All aesthetic treatments are provided at the convenient and well-appointed offices in Wellington. While you rest on a comfortable treatment bed, your provider prepares your skin and performs your procedure.
After your aesthetic treatment, your provider gives you aftercare instructions. In most cases, you need to avoid the sun, as many treatments can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays.
6. What does the price of specialty lab tests include?
- A doctor’s order for testing
- All lab / testing fees
- A blood draw fee
- A copy of your results
- A review of your results with our specially trained Wellness Specialist
7. Can I be diagnosed, treated or prescribed medications based on my lab results?
We offer Specialty Lab Testing to our patients as a resource and information. Patients have the option to have their results discussed with them with our Wellness Specialist as a part of the price of the test. Therefore, you cannot be diagnosed, prescribed or treated.
However, if you would like specific medical advice, you have the option to see one of our physicians or healthcare providers for a consult to review your medical hx and Specialty Lab results and together come up with the best plan of action for you at that time.
8. Can I use my insurance for specialty lab testing?
No. All Specialty Lab testing must be privately paid for at the time of purchase. We accept credit/debit cards and checks. We do not bill Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance companies. Also, we are unable to provide ICD-10 or CPT codes or our Tax ID number.
9. Why not just go to my own doctor and have them order the tests for me?
We encourage everyone to use their own doctor and health insurance for blood tests if possible. But many customers say it is easier and more convenient for them to use us instead of taking time out of their busy schedules to make appointments and wait around in a doctor’s waiting room. Our customers also mention their shock at how much they have to pay if their insurance won’t cover the tests compared to what they would pay through us. Also we offer unique blood panels you won’t find elsewhere, plus your own doctor may not be willing to write a prescription for blood tests for preventive purposes.
10. What if i am interested in conventional testing? What labs do you work with?
Through our affiliation with Premier Family Health as a medical facility, we are able to work with Quest Lab and we can order and review these labs through your insurance. As a practice, we try to do as much as possible through insurance with working up our patients.
11. How can a doctor help me lose weight?
Millions of Americans struggle with their weight. You may not know how to manage your diet, or you may have a hormonal or medical issue that’s getting in the way of your success. The doctors and staff at Premier Wellness provide thorough exams and blood testing to identify any problems inhibiting your weight loss. They also talk to you in detail about your lifestyle, including your diet and exercise habits.
12. How does IV Therapy help enhance my health?
Our team offers IV therapy to address a wide range of health concerns and optimize your wellness. Some of the benefits include:
- Increased energy
- Improved immune health
You may find that IV therapy can help you recover from hangovers and physical exertion quickly. Many patients find they get fewer coughs and colds, and feel better and more energetic overall. IV therapy may even enhance your appearance, lightening dark spots and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.*
13. What should I expect during IV therapy?
IV therapy is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. During your treatment, you settle into a comfortable armchair while your provider attaches your IV. Then, for 30-45 minutes you rest, read, or nap while you receive the IV nutrients.
After your treatment, you should feel energized and refreshed. You can get right back to your regular activities and won’t need any time to recover.
14. Am I a good candidate for IV therapy?
If you’re in good health overall but are experiencing fatigue or other health issues, our team may recommend IV therapy. You have a comprehensive exam before receiving any treatment to identify your health issues and the best cocktail of vitamins and nutrients to address your needs.
For example, if you’re having cancer treatment that’s impacting your appetite, you may find that IV nutrition therapy helps you get all the nutrients your body needs to stay strong. Alternatively, athletes and physically active patients may opt for IV therapy to boost their performance and reduce recovery times.
