A comprehensive lab work panel plays a crucial role in the success of an aesthetic medicine practice. It provides valuable insights into a patient's overall health, identifying underlying conditions that could impact the safety and efficacy of possible treatments. Furthermore, lab work can help optimize treatment plans. By assessing hormone levels, such as testosterone and estrogen, practitioners can tailor hormone replacement therapies to individual needs and monitor their effectiveness.
