Introduction
In Episode 18 of The Authentic Society, host Jamie engages in an insightful conversation with Adrienne, the passionate owner of Indiglo Aesthetics and Wellness. As Adrienne approaches her one-year anniversary, she shares the journey, services, and philosophy that make Indiglo a standout in the wellness and aesthetics industry.
Origin of Indiglo Spa
Adrienne opens up about her personal journey and the inspiration behind founding Indiglo Aesthetics and Wellness.
“When I was younger, I had really bad acne and so I always kind of put a lot into skin care and love just any and everything beauty. I love making people feel beautiful about themselves and living their best lives.”
— Adrienne [00:24]
At 25, Adrienne began her career as an aesthetics representative, working with medical-grade skincare companies before delving into injectables. Her experiences in various med spas highlighted both the strengths and shortcomings of the industry, particularly in patient care.
“Seeing things that maybe I didn't really like the way they did it... And then the day it's just about patient care and patient satisfaction. And I said, you know what, I'm going to open up my own place and do it the way that I want to do it.”
— Adrienne [00:24]
Determined to prioritize patient satisfaction, Adrienne established Indiglo as a one-stop-shop for a comprehensive range of services.

Building a Community and Patient Relationships
Adrienne emphasizes the importance of cultivating a family-like atmosphere within Indiglo, fostering strong relationships with patients.

The close-knit team, though small, including a nurse, nurse practitioner, esthetician, and Adrienne herself, ensures personalized care and genuine connections.
“Sometimes they'll just stop in to get a sparkling water and a hug or just fill us in on things. So it's really been heartwarming...”
— Adrienne [02:16]
In-Depth Discussion on Key Treatments
Microneedling: Adrienne provides a detailed explanation of microneedling, highlighting its benefits and the technology used.
“Micro needling are tiny little needles... It produces new collagen. They say for every skin pen you do, you get a year's worth of collagen back.”
— Adrienne [07:07]
Key Points:

- Experience: Painless with minimal downtime, typically a 24-hour recovery period.
Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid): Adrienne discusses the effectiveness of Kybella in eliminating submental fat (double chin).
“Deoxycholic acid... It dissolves the fat almost immediately. It snatches your jawline right up.”
— Adrienne [09:10]
Key Points:
- Procedure: Involves precise injections to target and eliminate fat cells.
- Recovery: Swelling is common and may last about a week.
- Outcome: Immediate tightening and enhancement of the jawline.
Commitment to Transparency and Patient Education
A cornerstone of Indiglo's philosophy is honest communication about treatments, ensuring patients are well-informed about procedures and potential side effects.
“We are always very honest about swelling... you don't want to think you're walking out of an appointment and you're not going to be swollen for a few days.”
— Adrienne [10:36]
Adrienne and her team prioritize educating patients, addressing all concerns, and setting realistic expectations to foster trust and satisfaction.
“Anytime you stick a needle into the face, you could hit a blood vessel... if you know what to expect.”
— Adrienne [11:04]
