Hope Aesthetics promotes health
By Jim Cornelius
News Editor
Most everyone wants to
look and feel better, and hold
off the inexorable ticking of
the aging clock for as long as
we can.
Hope Aesthetics &
Wellness has jumped into
the fray on behalf of Sisters-
area residents. The new
clinic, which has opened at
354 W. Adams Ave. (next to
High Lakes Heath Care and
Advantage Dental) offers skin
tightening and resurfacing,
wrinkle reduction, vein treat-
ments, body sculpting and
more — all geared toward
helping folks in Sisters look
their best.
But Sisters owner Jessica
Slaughter is quick to point
out it’s not just about looking
good. Studies have shown that
the way we feel about how
we look plays an important
role in motivating us toward
a healthy lifestyle.
“If people feel like they
have even a smidgen of con-
trol over their appearance,
they feel like they have con-
trol over their nutrition and
other aspects of their health,”
she says.
Treatments such as body
sculpting are only a part of a
holistic approach to looking,
feeling and being your best.
“If that’s your whole
means of losing weight, it’s
not going to work,” Slaughter
says.
But it can really jumpstart
an effort to eat right, exercise
and be fit.
“We want each person to
be the best person they can
be,” Slaughter says. “It can
have a powerful propulsion
effect.”
We want each person to be
the best person they can be.

And she notes that it’s not
so much about fighting aging
— which is inevitably a los-
ing battle, but about aging
well.
Slaughter travels the state
as an anaesthetist. She opened
Hope Aesthetics in part to
have work that could keep her
closer to home at least part
of the week. Her background
allows her to perform injec-
tions such as Botox.
“I’ve been doing it pri-
vately for the last year,” she
notes.
Hope Aesthetics and
Wellness employs three aes-
theticians, two injectors
besides Jessica herself and
one front-desk person.
While the majority of
the clientele are women,
Slaughter says that men are
becoming more open to inter-
vening in their own aging
process — partially driven
by a competitive job market,
where youthfulness is at a
premium. She says men are
particularly interested in hair-
restoration treatments, but
some will also do skin treat-
ments and Botox.
“I think things really have
changed over the past 10
years,” she says.
Support from spouse or
partner is key to men feeling
comfortable with aesthetic
treatments.
“Obviously they want to
keep it secret from their guy
friends,” Jessica notes with a
grin. “It’s the universal code.”
Hair loss can be an even
more devastating issue for
women than it is for men
— and women, too, can ben-
efit from hair-loss treatments.
A talented athlete,
Slaughter also offers IV treat-
ments, which can help ath-
letes prepare for or recover
from events and enhance per-
formance. They are also good
for combating migraines.
For Slaughter, it’s all
about living well — and she
believes people in Sisters
should have services they can

The staff at Hope Aesthetics & Wellness offer a wide variety of treatments
ranging from hair restoration to varicose vein treatment.
avail themselves of without
significant travel and expense.
“It gives people options
and I think (though) we live
in a rural area, we should
have access to all kinds of
healthcare options,” she says.
Hope Aesthetics &
Wellness will host a grand
opening open house on
Friday, May 27, and Friday,
June 10, from 4 to 8 p.m.
