About AVEC Wellness

What is AVEC Wellness?

AVEC Wellness is a wellness and aesthetics practice at 1601 Concord Pike, Suite 35, in Wilmington, Delaware. The office is inside Pagave salon and spa, so you will walk past a salon to reach it. The phone number is 302-365-0285. Its Google listing is filed as a medical spa, with a rating of 5 from 19 reviews.

Ashlee McIlrath, MSN, FNP-BC, is the founder and provider, and she describes herself as a board certified family nurse practitioner. She is the only prescriber named. Andrea Deppen is a licensed esthetician who performs skin treatments, and she is not listed as a prescriber.

Most of the service menu is aesthetic, including neurotoxins, fillers, chemical peels, laser, microneedling and facials. The medical side is hormone optimization, peptides, thyroid optimization and medical weight loss. The practice does not name a weight loss medication, describe a hormone or peptide protocol, or list longevity medicine as a service.

In its own words: "We combine advanced medical aesthetics with functional and hormone-based therapies to create personalized plans that support confidence, vitality, and whole-body wellness."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, including the weight loss, hormone and peptide care. Payment plans and membership packages appear on the menu, but no amounts are shown with them. It also does not say whether the monthly fee includes medication, whether it accepts insurance, what a consultation costs, or how cancellation works.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for medical weight loss, hormones, peptides or thyroid medicine, and whether that person is Ashlee McIlrath. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication. If it does, ask which drug it is and whether it is brand name or compounded. Ask what the first visit costs, whether lab work is extra, and what follow-up visits cost.

Ask whether telehealth is offered, since that is not stated. Ask for the office hours, since none are listed. Ask whether insurance covers any of this, and how you cancel a plan or membership, including what happens to money you have already paid. If longevity medicine is what you want, ask whether it is offered at all.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want skin treatments alongside hormone, peptide, thyroid or weight loss care in one office led by a nurse practitioner, and you are willing to get every price in writing before you commit. If you need a published price list, posted hours, or clear answers on medication and insurance before you call, expect to ask those questions first.
