Your Complete Guide to Professional General Dermatology, Medical Aesthetics, and Wellness in the Heart of Tennessee's Mountain Community
Welcome to the University of the South faculty, staff, students, and the greater Sewanee community. At Uplift Wellness & Aesthetics, we understand the unique needs of our academic and mountain community members who value both professional excellence and natural beauty enhancement.
Located in nearby Monteagle, Tennessee, just minutes from the University of the South campus, Uplift Wellness & Aesthetics provides comprehensive medical aesthetics and wellness services designed to help you look and feel your best while maintaining the highest standards of medical care and patient safety.
Why Choose Medical-Grade Aesthetics?
Unlike spa treatments, medical aesthetics are performed under the supervision of trained medical professionals using FDA-approved treatments and medical-grade equipment. This ensures both safety and optimal results for all our patients, whether you are a busy professor preparing for conferences, a student managing academic stress, or a community member seeking to address specific skin concerns.
Comprehensive Service Menu
BOTOX Cosmetic Treatments
Professional Enhancement for Academic Excellence. BOTOX Cosmetic is the number one treatment for reducing the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles, making it ideal for professionals who want to maintain a confident, refreshed appearance. Our medical provider uses precise injection techniques to smooth forehead lines and frown lines, reduce crow’s feet around the eyes, create a more relaxed, approachable appearance, and maintain natural facial expressions.
Treatment time: 15 to 30 minutes with minimal downtime, perfect for busy academic schedules.
Advanced Laser Skin Treatments
Address Sun Damage from Mountain Living. Living and working in Tennessee’s beautiful mountain environment exposes us to UV rays that can cause premature aging and skin damage. Our state-of-the-art laser treatments effectively address:
- Sun spots and age spots
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Skin tightening and rejuvenation
Our medical-grade laser technology delivers superior results compared to over-the-counter treatments, with customized protocols tailored to each patient’s unique skin type and concerns.
Chemical Peels and Skin Resurfacing
Refresh Your Complexion for Every Season. Chemical peels are excellent for addressing a variety of skin concerns while working with Tennessee’s changing seasons. Light peels are perfect for maintaining healthy skin with minimal downtime, medium peels are ideal for addressing sun damage and texture concerns, and deep resurfacing offers comprehensive treatment for significant skin improvement. All chemical peels use medical-grade formulations and are supervised by our trained medical professional.
Microneedling with Growth Factors
Stimulate Natural Collagen Production. This minimally invasive treatment uses your body’s natural healing response to improve skin texture and firmness, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, overall skin tone and radiance, and product absorption for enhanced skincare routines.
IPL Photofacial Treatments
Multi-Benefit Light Therapy. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments address multiple skin concerns in a single session: reducing brown spots and sun damage, minimizing redness and rosacea, improving overall skin tone, stimulating collagen production, and creating a more even complexion.
Medical Dermatology Services
Comprehensive Skin Health and Cancer Screening. As part of our commitment to complete skin health, we provide annual skin cancer screenings for early detection and prevention, mole and lesion evaluation, skin health consultations, and medical-grade skincare recommendations. Regular skin cancer screening is especially important for individuals who spend time outdoors in our beautiful mountain environment.
Functional Nutrition and Wellness Consultations
Holistic Approach to Health and Beauty. True wellness comes from within. Our functional nutrition services address skin health through nutrition optimization, anti-inflammatory dietary strategies, supplement recommendations for skin support, lifestyle modifications for overall wellness, and stress management techniques for academic professionals.
Special Considerations for the University Community
We understand the unique scheduling demands of academic life, from semester breaks to conference travel. Our appointment booking accommodates flexible weekday availability, semester break intensive treatments, quick lunch-hour appointments, and summer break comprehensive treatment plans.
For faculty and staff who regularly present at conferences, teach classes, or represent the University, maintaining a professional appearance is essential. Our treatments enhance natural features without dramatic changes, providing subtle, professional-looking results that maintain authenticity while boosting confidence.
We also recognize that students have unique needs and budget considerations, offering acne treatment programs, treatments for stress-related skin concerns, preventive care education, and professional skincare guidance.
The Mountain Community Advantage
Living in Tennessee’s mountain region presents unique skincare challenges that we specifically address, including high UV exposure at elevation, seasonal changes from dry winters to humid summers, an active outdoor lifestyle, and seasonal allergies that affect skin sensitivity. As members of the greater Sewanee-Monteagle community, we share your values of personalized attention, community involvement, and long-term relationships built on trust.
Medicare Coverage
We are pleased to announce that Uplift Wellness & Aesthetics now accepts Medicare for qualifying medical treatments and services. This makes essential medical dermatology care more accessible to our University and community members. Medicare-covered services may include medical dermatology consultations, skin cancer screenings and evaluations, treatment of medical skin conditions, and medically necessary dermatological procedures. Cosmetic procedures are not covered by Medicare or insurance.
During your consultation, we will clearly explain which services may be covered by Medicare and which are considered cosmetic, and work with you to create an affordable treatment plan.
