(NewsNation<\/a>) \u2014 A Planned Parenthood clinic in California announced last week that it is expanding its services to include Botox treatments.<\/p>\n

The decision comes amid concerns<\/a> about the Sacramento affiliate\u2019s long\u2011term financial sustainability, as well as feedback from patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that our patients now are seeking aesthetic services as part of their whole well\u2011being,\u201d said Dr. Laura Dalton, chief medical operating officer for Planned Parenthood Mar Monte.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think, actually, aesthetics is in alignment with what Planned Parenthood stands for. Planned Parenthood stands for bodily autonomy. Planned Parenthood stands for: You decide what is best for you and what you need to feel good, and to feel like your body is what you want it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nationwide, Planned Parenthood has faced significant federal cuts in recent months due to reduced Medicaid reimbursements, rising treatment and staffing costs, and a hostile political climate. The new offering, however, appears to be paying off for the clinic, which says it has already begun providing Botox injections at a lower price than many aesthetic providers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter our announcement, we had 30 providers immediately sign up asking to be trained,\u201d Dalton added. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to keep our providers engaged and add to their skill set.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinic officials say they plan to expand Botox services to three additional locations within the Mar Monte affiliate by June.<\/p>\n
