Lab Testing
Discover, Enhance, and Empower Your Health
At Icon Aesthetics in Athens, we understand that outstanding health starts with comprehensive insights. We’re excited to announce the upcoming availability of advanced diagnostic lab panels, created to help you uncover the root causes of fatigue, weight struggles, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and other health issues. These detailed panels go well beyond standard lab work, providing valuable and practical insights that allow us to personalize your wellness, weight management, and lifestyle medicine strategies.
In addition to traditional lab testing, we’re pleased to offer specialized functional diagnostics, including Nutrigenomix® Testing, which uses your DNA to create individualized nutrition and fitness plans 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 affecting cellular aging processes. These evaluations provide an outstanding 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 paired with your weight management, longevity, or Lifestyle Medicine consultation. Results are reviewed personally with your provider to create a plan tailored to your unique biology and goals.
If you’re ready to remove guesswork from wellness and get clear answers that produce real results, stay tuned—our advanced lab panels and genomic testing are coming soon to Icon Aesthetics in Athens, OH. Ask about joining the waitlist or adding these services to your next visit.
