NASHVILLE, Tenn. — At the recent Planetree Conference in Nashville, Aesthetics Inc. was honored to become a certified member of the Planetree Visionary Design Network. This certification officially recognizes the firm for following the Planetree patient-centered philosophy and its core components of healing design.
