Vulcan Wellness & Aesthetics in Vestavia Hills is passionate about helping to empower you in your unique wellness journey. Wellness differs for each person, so we meet you where you are and provide expert, customized care.
Whether you need help with weight management, hormone balance or aesthetic dermatology, we do a thorough consultation, present your treatment options and help you pick the best one for you.
At Vulcan Wellness, our board certified, physician-only staff tailor treatment plans to each patient and avoid one-size-fits-all solutions.
Our weight management program is physician monitored and offers real, evidence-based treatments — not gimmicks or quick fixes. We also follow up with patients monthly to make sure they’re on track and help them manage any side effects.
Dr. Brytney Cobia and Dr. Thomas Lewis, among the co-founders of Vulcan Wellness, are also board certified in obesity medicine in addition to their primary board certifications.
In hormone management, Vulcan Wellness takes advantage of the many recent breakthroughs in the field to help patients.
“We have so many modalities to restore hormone balance,” Dr. Cobia said.
Vulcan Wellness is a Biote-certified clinic for hormone replacement therapy, which can help people with such issues as fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, low libido and hot flashes.
Whether you’re male or female, young or old, we can help you find the right solution for your hormonal needs. We help women cope with menopause and treat men’s decreased testosterone levels.
In aesthetic dermatology, Vulcan Wellness specializes in patients that are currently losing weight or have lost a significant amount of weight.
“We have honest conversations about techniques we can use to make them look more well-rested and fresh, and restore the volume and youthfulness to their face after weight loss,” Dr. Cobia said.
Vulcan Wellness also provides a wide range of aesthetic services, including fillers, injectables, hair removal, acne clearance and customized facials.
Dr. Cobia enjoys her work with patients and recently left a long-time position as a hospitalist to focus entirely on Vulcan Wellness. Her training in internal medicine combined with her work in obesity medicine and hormone management make her uniquely suited for this practice.
“I enjoy having long appointment times to get to know my patients and give them the time to really describe how they're feeling and how they are struggling,” Dr. Cobia said.. “By far the best part of my job is that most people feel hopeful and excited after just the first appointment, and that continues to build as success continues.”
Dr. Cobia and the other physicians at Vulcan Wellness continue to educate themselves regarding recent medical advances.
“In medicine, physicians are perpetual students, and it’s exciting to be involved in such a fast-paced, constantly evolving field,” Dr. Cobia said.
For example, she has spent hundreds of hours growing her knowledge and skills in aesthetic dermatology.
“My goal is to provide natural results to make the patients feel more well-rested and fresh, and look as good as they feel,” Dr. Cobia said.
