Advanced Lab Testing at Icon Aesthetics
At Icon Aesthetics, we believe that optimal health starts with deeper insight. That’s why we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of our comprehensive diagnostic lab panels, designed to help you uncover the root causes of fatigue, weight gain, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and more. These advanced panels go beyond basic lab work, offering meaningful, actionable data that can be used to personalize your wellness, weight loss, and lifestyle medicine plans.
​
Our Cardiometabolic Panel will include advanced markers such as homocysteine, apolipoprotein A and B, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), and an expanded lipid panel with particle size—all key in assessing cardiovascular risk and metabolic health. For patients focused on weight loss or insulin resistance, our Weight Optimization Panel will evaluate fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, adiponectin, cortisol, thyroid function, and more, helping us target what’s truly affecting your metabolism.​ We’ll also offer a Hormone Health Panel to assess testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA-S, cortisol, SHBG, and IGF-1—ideal for individuals exploring hormone balance, perimenopause, or vitality concerns. Our Foundational Wellness Panel includes essential markers like vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, CBC/CMP, inflammatory markers (hsCRP, ESR), and even TMAO and Omega-3 Index for a more complete view of your gut, cardiovascular, and nutritional health.
​
In addition to standard lab testing, we proudly offer specialized functional diagnostics including Nutrigenomix Testing, which uses your DNA to guide personalized nutrition and fitness strategies based on over 70 genetic markers, and Biologic Age Testing, which measures your biological age and immune system function to help track how lifestyle changes are impacting cellular aging over time. These tests offer an unparalleled level of insight, especially when combined with our Lifestyle Medicine and GLP-1 support programs.
​
These lab panels and advanced testing options will be available as standalone services or bundled with your weight loss, longevity, or Lifestyle Medicine consultation. Results are reviewed one-on-one with your provider to create a plan tailored to your unique biology and goals.
​
If you’re ready to take the guesswork out of wellness and get real answers that drive real change, stay tuned—our advanced lab panels and genomic testing are coming soon to Icon Aesthetics. Ask us how to join the waitlist or add these services to your next visit.

FAQs
1. What is GlycanAge Testing? GlycanAge is a biological age test that measures how your body is aging on a cellular level. It analyzes glycans—sugar molecules attached to your immune cells—that reflect inflammation, immune function, and overall health.
2. How is biological age different from chronological age? Chronological age is the number of years you’ve been alive. Biological age reflects the condition of your body and immune system based on cellular biomarkers. A lower biological age compared to your actual age suggests better overall health and slower aging.
3. What does the test measure? GlycanAge specifically measures glycosylation patterns on Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a key immune protein. These patterns are closely tied to inflammation, stress, and lifestyle factors like diet, sleep, and exercise.
4. What kind of sample is required? The test requires a small fingerstick blood sample, which is then sent to a specialized lab for analysis. The process is simple and can be done in-office at Icon Aesthetics.
5. How long does it take to get results? You’ll typically receive your results within 2–3 weeks. Your report will include your biological age, inflammation markers, and personalized lifestyle recommendations to help optimize your aging process.
6. Who should consider getting GlycanAge tested? Anyone interested in proactive health, longevity, or performance optimization can benefit from GlycanAge Testing. It’s especially valuable for those with a family history of age-related diseases or chronic inflammation, or those undergoing hormone therapy or lifestyle changes.
7. Can lifestyle changes affect my GlycanAge results? Yes! Your biological age is highly responsive to lifestyle. Improvements in sleep, diet, stress, exercise, and supplementation can positively impact your GlycanAge over time—making it a valuable tool to track the effectiveness of your wellness plan.
8. How often should I retest? Most patients choose to retest annually to monitor progress and make data-driven adjustments to their lifestyle and treatment plan. Some retest more frequently when making major health changes.
9. Is GlycanAge Testing covered by insurance? GlycanAge is currently a self-pay wellness service and is not typically covered by insurance. However, many patients consider it a valuable investment in preventive health and longevity.
10. How do I get started with GlycanAge Testing at Icon Aesthetics? Simply schedule a consultation with our team. We’ll guide you through the testing process, collect your sample, and review your results and recommendations in a personalized follow-up visit.
