About Neuva Aesthetics

What is Neuva Aesthetics?

Neuva Aesthetics is a medical aesthetics practice at 1801 16th Street, Suite C, in Bakersfield, California. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a 4.7 rating from 63 reviews. Most of what it offers is cosmetic: injectables, face and body treatments, skin products, and two device treatments, Emsella and ThermiVa. Hormone therapy is the other part of the practice. Neuva offers bioidentical hormone pellet therapy for women and men, and it names testosterone, estradiol, and Prometrium, a progesterone pill, as medications it uses.

Neuva names two prescribers: Armi Mazzeo, M.D., and Cary Shakespeare, M.D., Obstetrics & Gynecology. The two doctors founded the business in 2016, and it says it has served Bakersfield and the surrounding areas since 1994.

For pellet therapy, Neuva says it draws hormone levels before treatment and calculates each person's dose from height and weight. The pellets are made by a compounding pharmacy. Neuva says the Hormone Therapy Centers of America, which it affiliates with, has put research into finding that pharmacy.

What does it cost?

Neuva does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether it accepts insurance. It does not say whether pellet therapy is covered or what it costs, and it does not state whether a price includes the medication. It lists CareCredit and Cherry under financing options. Ask for the consultation, pellet visit, and follow-up costs in writing before you book. It says nothing about membership or cancellation terms, so ask about those too.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which doctor writes your prescription and who handles follow-up. Ask whether the price includes the pellets and the placement visit. Ask whether each medication is FDA-approved or compounded, and which pharmacy compounds it. Ask what the pre-treatment labs cost, how often repeat labs are needed, and whether they are billed separately.

Neuva lists no hours and does not say whether telehealth is available, so ask both. The bioidentical hormones page also describes Calm Cream, a topical progesterone cream. If you are considering it, ask whether it is part of any plan or sold separately. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether any money is refunded if you stop partway through a plan.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cosmetic treatments and hormone pellet therapy in one Bakersfield office, and you are willing to get prices in writing before you commit. If your main need is a medical weight loss program or peptide therapy, Neuva does not describe either, so ask directly before you book.
