Whether it’s a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) collagen-boosting treatment, a relaxing and rejuvenating hydrafacial, a Sound Bath Meditation, a Sip and See Holiday Event, or a fun Tea and Tarot evening, Teresa Kontos, co-owner of Soluna Medical Aesthetics in Bonita Springs, offers something for everyone. The luxury medical spa prides itself on its unique mix of services, focusing on both mental and physical rejuvenation through methods such as meditation, energy healing, and advanced skincare. Why the fusion of luxury and skincare? Kontos found these methods personally helpful before and after her cancer treatments. “I’m committed to not just outer beauty but also to nurturing the soul,” says Kontos.

PRP Treatments

PRP treatments are ideal for those who prefer natural alternatives to synthetic fillers for facial rejuvenation. Treatments are derived from your own body. “My husband, Dr. Andrew Kontos, performs the treatment here at Soluna Medical Aesthetics as well as all the other cosmetic procedures that we offer. He is a highly regarded, board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic and cutaneous oncology surgeon. He draws a small amount of blood and places it in a sterile tube, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the different components. Red and white blood cells are separated from the platelets and plasma (the clear fluid). This PRP plasma now contains a higher-than-normal number of platelets."

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelets are blood cells that help tissue heal and promote the growth of new cells. When PRP is injected into specific areas of the skin, it acts as a matrix that stimulates collagen growth, regenerates tissue, and naturally smooths and tightens the skin. This results in softer wrinkles and a smoother skin texture using your own cells.

PRP for hair loss contains essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth. During this procedure, PRP is collected from the patient and injected into the scalp. The application of PRP causes miniaturized hair follicles to become healthier and larger, resulting in more robust hair growth. PRP activates follicular progenitor cells (adult stem cells) and is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth. Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, PRP has also been shown to regrow hair in cases of alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis, and other forms of non-hereditary hair loss.

“PRP isn’t an instant-results treatment, but it’s a natural way of encouraging collagen growth. I’ve had the treatment done for hair loss due to my cancer treatments and thyroid issues. I lost a lot of hair, and PRP injections into my scalp have encouraged hair growth by stimulating my follicles. It has been very effective,” advises Kontos.

For November’s Sip & See event, Kontos invites local vendors to enhance the offerings in her retail therapy boutique. She plays the perfect hostess, providing wine, cheese, and snacks. Throughout the evening, guests enjoy mini-facials, special offers, and discounts, allowing them to experience services before deciding which ones to indulge in.

“We started the Sip & See events this summer to give locals and visitors something fun to do. They were such a success that we’ve continued them, and we’ve made the November 21 event a holiday-themed evening for Christmas shopping,” says Kontos.

Group Sound Bath Meditations

The one-hour sound bath meditation class, led by Kontos, features a soundscape created by singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and gongs, with the crystal singing bowls at the core. The collective energy of the group enhances the experience, fostering a sense of peace and harmony while aligning with the body’s natural frequencies to reduce stress and anxiety.

Aesthetician Certification

In addition to managing her spa, Kontos serves as the Human Resources Director of Innovative Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Center. A highly motivated woman with boundless energy, Kontos is committed to excellence and strives to set her spa apart by continuously improving her credentials. In December, she will add an aesthetician certification to her Spa Owner and Metaphysical Shop Owner certifications. Enrolled at the Skin Care Academy of Florida, she is completing a comprehensive training program that combines theory and practical application in a spa-like learning environment. “This was the next natural step for me since I’m in the spa all the time. Now I’ll not only be able to guide clients in choosing the right treatments, but I’ll also be able to perform them,” says Kontos.
