Aesthetic medicine is an inclusive term for specialties that focus on improving cosmetic appearance through the treatment of conditions including scars, skin laxity, wrinkles, moles, liver spots, excess fat, cellulite, unwanted hair, skin discoloration, and spider veins. Aesthetic medicine specialists may utilize both surgical and non-surgical procedures to improve cosmetic appearance, psychological well-being, as well as overall quality of life.
An avid CrossFit® athlete for over 19 years, Dr. Profera underscores the importance of physical activity, balanced nutrition, and restorative practices such as yoga. Her dedication to personal wellness extends to her pursuits outside the clinic, where she finds joy in travel, cooking, and spending time with her family. Today, she resides in downtown Ann Arbor with her husband, cherishing moments with their two adult daughters.
