A More Thoughtful Approach to Breast and Body Wellness

Non-invasive, radiation-free imaging designed to support a more proactive understanding of your health

At Moonstone Medical Aesthetics, we offer thermography as a non-invasive way to gain insight into how your body is functioning. Unlike traditional imaging that focuses on structure, thermography uses infrared technology to detect patterns of heat and circulation, helping identify areas of inflammation or change within the body.

This approach allows for a more proactive and informed perspective on your wellness, supporting early awareness while complementing traditional screening methods.

A More Thoughtful Way to Understand Your Health

Most imaging looks at the structure of the body - what's there. Thermography looks at how the body is functioning  - what's happening.

Using a specialized infrared camera, thermography captures heat and circulation patterns beneath the surface of the skin. Because inflammation is often one of the body's earliest signals that something needs attention, thermography gives you a window into your health before symptoms show up — often years earlier than traditional imaging.

It's not a replacement for your mammogram or other screenings. It's an additional layer of insight — one that helps you stay informed, proactive, and in control of your own wellness.

Thermography is ideal for individuals who are looking to take a more proactive approach to their health and wellness. It is commonly used for breast health monitoring, but can also be used for full-body scans to assess inflammation and circulation patterns.

This is a great option for those who:
• Prefer a non-invasive, radiation-free approach
• Want additional insight alongside traditional screenings
• Are focused on prevention and early awareness
• Are experiencing changes or concerns they want to better understand

Your thermography appointment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. During the session, a series of thermal images will be captured in a comfortable, private setting.

The process is completely non-contact, with no compression or discomfort. You’ll simply stand or sit while the camera captures images from different angles, allowing for a comprehensive assessment.

After your appointment, your images are analyzed by certified thermography professionals who specialize in reading thermal patterns. You will receive a detailed report outlining any areas of concern, along with recommendations for follow-up if needed.

This information can then be used as part of your overall wellness plan, helping you make more informed decisions about your health moving forward.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but it ended up being one of the easiest appointments I’ve had. There was no discomfort, and the team made me feel completely at ease. Getting my results back gave me a better understanding of my body and what I should be paying attention to. It’s something I’ll definitely continue doing as part of my routine.
