Avinity Health plans Aug. 4 Scottsdale ribbon cutting

Avinity Health will mark the opening of its Scottsdale clinic with a ribbon cutting on Aug. 4, bringing a physician-guided longevity and medical aesthetics model to North Scottsdale. The clinic is now accepting patients for plasma exchange, testosterone replacement therapy, Botox, microneedling, fillers and IV therapy.

Why it matters: - Avinity Health is positioning a direct-pay clinic as a more clinical alternative to the traditional med spa model. - The Scottsdale location expands access to physician-guided longevity and aesthetic services for patients in Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, Gainey Ranch, McCormick Ranch, Kierland and nearby Arizona communities. - The clinic says its model centers on evidence-informed care, medical oversight and personalized treatment plans.

What happened: - Avinity Health will host its official ribbon cutting on Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026, in partnership with the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce. - The event runs from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. MST, with the ribbon cutting scheduled for 4:30 p.m. - The ceremony will be held at 11000 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 100, Scottsdale, Arizona 85254. - The clinic is now accepting patients for longevity consultations, therapeutic plasma exchange evaluations, testosterone replacement therapy, Botox, microneedling, dermal fillers and IV therapy. - More information is available on the company’s website or by phone at 480-264-6175.

The details: - Avinity Health offers therapeutic plasma exchange, also known as TPE or plasmapheresis, through its PlasmaRestore™ program. - Therapeutic plasma exchange removes and replaces a portion of a patient’s plasma under medical supervision. - The clinic offers access to the procedure in an outpatient setting for patients focused on proactive health optimization, inflammation reduction and healthy aging. - Medical aesthetics services include area-priced Botox in Scottsdale, dermal fillers and regenerative skin renewal. - Botox is priced by area rather than by unit, giving patients clear pricing before treatment begins. - Microneedling treatments are performed by registered nurses with physician oversight. - Every microneedling treatment includes red and near-infrared light therapy to support recovery. - Optional add-ons include PRP, exosomes or PDRN, selected based on the patient’s skin concerns and treatment goals. - The clinic’s team is led by Emily Dawson, co-founder and clinical director. - Dr. Arun Lakshmipathy, medical director, provides physician oversight. He is a board-certified internist with more than 25 years of experience in longevity and senior care. - Dr. Leslie F. Thomas, medical officer, is a Mayo Clinic-trained nephrologist and former Mayo Clinic faculty physician with expertise in therapeutic plasma exchange. - Dr. Salma Jesmin, medical consultant, is a board-certified internist and geriatrician whose expertise informs the clinic’s approach to aging and aesthetic medicine.

Between the lines: - Avinity Health is trying to differentiate itself with a medicalized service mix that blends longevity care and aesthetics under physician leadership. - The pricing structure for Botox and the emphasis on consultation and medical review suggest a focus on transparency and individualized care. - The inclusion of therapeutic plasma exchange signals a broader longevity offering than a typical med spa. - Emily Dawson said the opening follows support from patients, partners, colleagues, friends and the community.

What's next: - Avinity Health will use the ribbon cutting to formally introduce the Scottsdale clinic to the local business community. - The clinic is expected to continue building its patient base across the Scottsdale area and surrounding communities. - The company’s public contact channels remain available through its website and phone line at 480-264-6175.

The bottom line: - Avinity Health is opening in Scottsdale with a physician-guided model that combines longevity medicine and medical aesthetics in one direct-pay clinic.
