Why we created The IO Clinic
“The last several years have been stressful for people all over but we see it in our community too. The inspiration for creating The iO Clinic was to create a comprehensive wellness center for people in our community to focus on self care, healing, and well-being from the inside out. The iO Clinic expands the services offered at our medical spa, L&P Aesthetics, by offering a curated skincare lounge, medical-grade facial treatments, along with a range of healing and wellness technologies such as LED light therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, vitamin injections, and IV therapies.”
– David Liberman, MD and co-founder of The iO Clinic
