Choosing a medical aesthetics or wellness provider should involve more than comparing prices or following social media trends. Patients should know who oversees their care, who performs treatment, what products and technology are used, and whether the practice follows documented compliance standards.

Refresh - Aesthetics & Wellness brings that approach to downtown St. Petersburg at 646 1st Ave S. The Florida-based, family-owned practice is physician-led and built around personalized evaluations, patient education and treatment plans tailored to individual needs.

The St. Petersburg office provides aesthetic and wellness care under supervising physician J. Kevin Poitras, M.D., with treatments performed by licensed professionals.

Wellness services include medical weight-loss programs, hormone therapy, IV therapy, wellness injections and blood testing. Recommendations depend on each patient’s medical history, concerns, goals and clinical suitability.

Refresh is also a LegitScript-certified healthcare merchant. LegitScript’s healthcare certification includes an independent review of credentials, regulatory requirements and ongoing compliance. For patients researching medical aesthetics or wellness care in St. Petersburg, that certification provides another objective point of verification.

Refresh connects aesthetics and wellness instead of treating them as unrelated categories. A patient may visit for facial rejuvenation, skin concerns, unwanted hair, weight-management support, hormone concerns or broader wellness goals, then receive a plan based on individual needs. The objective is not to chase every trend. It is to provide informed options, realistic expectations and clinical accountability.
