A boutique aesthetic clinic in Petaluma, CA, passionate about enhancing natural beauty and confidence through advanced Botox, dermal fillers, and medical-grade skincare treatments.

Our Story.

At ThriveMD, we believe confidence is the most radiant feature. Located in the heart of Petaluma, in Sonoma County, California, our boutique aesthetic and wellness clinic specializes in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, including advanced Botox, dermal fillers, and medical-grade skincare. Our mission is to help women and men look and feel their best by enhancing natural beauty through safe, effective, and personalized treatments.

We understand that facial expressions like frown lines and deep wrinkles can unintentionally project negative emotions—such as stress, sadness, or fatigue. By restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance, our patients often experience a renewed sense of self-esteem, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. At ThriveMD, our goal is not just to transform appearances but to uplift lives—empowering our clients to step into the world with confidence and positivity.

ThriveMD is physician-owned and operated by Dr. Cynthia Lawder, a board-certified medical doctor with over 20 years of experience in primary care and emergency medicine. A graduate of a New York City medical school and residency-trained at UC Davis, Dr. Lawder brings expert-level precision and artistry to every procedure. She’s extensively trained in aesthetic dermatology and regularly attends advanced courses to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving field of cosmetic injectables and anti-aging medicine.

Whether you're looking to smooth fine lines with Botox, restore volume with dermal fillers, or elevate your skincare with professional treatments, ThriveMD is Petaluma’s trusted destination for facial aesthetics and natural beauty enhancement. We are passionate about helping you thrive—inside and out.

“In our youth obsessed culture, women are under tremendous pressure to stay competitive in the work place, be energetic, look refreshed and feel youthful, whatever their role in life. How we present ourselves to the world depends in part on how we feel which, in turn, is often affected by how we look.  My job is to help both women and men feel good about how they look so they can present their best selves to the outside world. My hope is to empower everyone who walks through my office doors.“
