Wellness & Weight Management in Union & Chapin, SC
Real Results. Root Cause Solutions. Fully Personalized.
Tired of hitting a wall with diets, workouts, or generic programs that just don’t work? At About Face Aesthetics, our medically guided weight loss and wellness plans are backed by science — and customized just for you. Whether you’re battling fatigue, stubborn weight, or hormonal imbalances, we uncover the why behind your symptoms and build a plan that works with your body, not against it.
Comprehensive Lab Work & Hormone Optimization
With hormone fluctuations, thyroid imbalance, or fatigue, functional lab testing helps us pinpoint root causes. We offer Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to restore vitality, energy, and overall well‑being.
We don’t guess — we test. Functional labs help us identify hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, vitamin deficiencies, and other hidden causes of weight gain and low energy.
Think: testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, thyroid, blood sugar, and more — all analyzed for one clear picture of your health.
Custom Weight Loss Medications
We offer in-house prescription options — no waiting on third-party pharmacies. You may be a candidate for GLP‑1 medications, appetite suppressants, or alternative protocols based on your labs and goals.
Plus, we manage your plan weekly with check-ins, dosage tracking, and expert adjustments.

Check-ins are required every 4-6 weeks, in person. During these visits, we'll review your progress, discuss any adjustments, and process your next medication refill.

Why It Works
Most of our clients come to us feeling defeated — they’ve “tried everything,” or their doctor told them “everything looks normal.” We don’t stop at normal — we look for optimal.
By identifying and correcting hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional imbalances, your body can finally do what it was built to do: feel good, shed excess fat, and perform at its best.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Balance your hormones. Reclaim your energy, mood, and metabolism.
Hormonal shifts can affect everything — from weight gain and brain fog to sleep, libido, and emotional wellness. Our BHRT program uses
custom-compounded bioidentical hormones that are molecularly identical to what your body naturally produces. We tailor every treatment to your lab results, symptoms, and goals.
Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or low testosterone, our approach is science-backed and symptom-focused.
Treatment options include:
- Topical creams or gels
- Injections
- Subcutaneous pellets (available by consultation)
You don’t have to “just live with it.” Hormone optimization can be life-changing — and it starts with a simple consult.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
frequently asked questions
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy is a personalized medical treatment designed to restore balance in your hormone levels.
At About Face Aesthetics, we offer various options including pellets, injections, creams, and pills to help address hormone imbalances that can impact your energy levels, mood, metabolism, and overall health.
How does the process start?
The process begins with a Wellness Consultation with a comprehensive lab panel to assess your hormone levels and overall health. Based on your results, our team will create a customized plan to optimize your hormones, which may include hormone replacement therapy, Nutraceuticals, and weight loss solutions like GLP-1 injections.
What symptoms can HRT help with?
HRT can help improve a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Fatigue & Exhaustion
- Weight gain
- Mood swings
- Trouble sleeping
- Low sex drive
- Sexual Dysfunction/ Erectile Dysfunction
- Hot flashes
- Decreased mental clarity/ Brain Fog
With balanced hormones, many people report feeling more energized, focused, and confident, while also noticing improvements in their overall health and appearance.
What is pellet therapy, and how does it work?
Pellet therapy is a form of HRT in which small pellets are inserted under the skin, gradually releasing hormones into the bloodstream over time. This steady delivery ensures more consistent hormone levels. At About Face, a minimum of two rounds of pellet therapy are required to ensure that we optimize and level your hormones.
What are Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets, and why do we use them?
Bio-Identical Hormone Pellets are small, natural hormone implants derived from plant sources, designed to mimic the hormones naturally produced by your body. At About Face, we use these pellets because they provide a steady, consistent release of hormones into your bloodstream, ensuring optimal levels over time. This method helps reduce the fluctuations often experienced with other forms of hormone therapy, leading to more balanced moods, energy, and overall well-being. Plus, bio-identical hormones are recognized as being safer and more effective, with fewer side effects than synthetic hormones.
Who is a candidate for HRT?
Individuals experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance may be candidates. A detailed consultation and lab tests will determine your eligibility.
What types of hormones are used in HRT?
We use bio-identical hormones, which are chemically identical to those the body naturally produces.
How soon can I expect results?
Many people start noticing improvements in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting HRT, but optimal results typically occur after two rounds of treatment, especially with pellet therapy. Your progress will be monitored closely, and adjustments will be made as necessary to ensure the best results.
How is HRT administered?
HRT can be administered through various methods, including pellets, which provide a steady release of hormones over time.
Are there any side effects?
Some individuals may experience mild side effects, which typically subside as the body adjusts. Our team will monitor your progress closely.
Is hormone replacement therapy safe?
Yes, when managed by a licensed professional, HRT is a safe and effective way to address hormone imbalances. Our experienced team will carefully monitor your hormone levels and make necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve the desired results safely.
What are Nutraceuticals, and how do they fit into my treatment plan?
Nutraceuticals are supplements that combine the benefits of nutrition and pharmaceuticals to enhance your health beyond basic nutrition. They may be recommended alongside HRT to further support hormone balance, metabolism, and weight loss goals.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans for the initial cost of your treatment. Our goal is to make it easier for you to access the care you need to optimize your health.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple! Schedule your consultation with us, and we’ll begin with a comprehensive lab panel. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan that’s right for you. Whether it includes HRT, Nutraceuticals, or weight loss solutions, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
