What is Skin Artisans?
Skin Artisans is a medical spa with offices in Edina, Minnetonka and Woodbury, Minnesota. It was founded in 1991 by board-certified plastic surgeons. As part of Edina Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeons practice onsite alongside its team. Most of its menu is cosmetic: Botox Cosmetic, dermal fillers, Kybella, laser treatments, chemical peels, SkinPen microneedling and VISIA skin analysis. Registered nurse injectors give the injections, and advanced practice estheticians handle most skin treatments.
Medical Weight Loss is one of its services, and it runs a GLP-1 program. Dr. Allison Heimer, MD, leads that program and oversees the medical weight loss team at all three offices. Her credentials are listed as cosmetic medicine physician since June 2024. In its own words: "Our GLP-1 medical weight loss program gives you a medically supervised path that works with your body instead of against it." The practice also offers BIOTE bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, but no prescriber is named for it. On Google, Skin Artisans is rated 5 from 114 reviews.
This listing is for its Woodbury office at 237 Radio Dr Ste 115.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, for the GLP-1 program, BIOTE or any of its cosmetic services. The first consultation is free, and financing options are available. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, or whether a program price includes the medication.
Lab work may be done at your first visit, or you can bring recent values from your last physical. No price is given for lab work, follow-up visits or the medication itself, so ask for each of these in writing before you commit.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the GLP-1 prescription, and who will prescribe BIOTE, since no prescriber is named for hormone therapy. Ask which GLP-1 medication is used, and whether yours would be brand-name or compounded, since each dose is prepared for the individual patient. Ask whether the program price includes the medication, what the full monthly total comes to, and whether behavioral support and check-ins are covered.
Ask whether telehealth is offered, since that is not stated. Ask whether insurance is accepted, how cancellation works, and whether financing covers the program. Your first visit is with a member of the medical weight loss team, so ask who that will be and whether Dr. Heimer sees you. Ask which office you would be seen at and what its hours are, since no hours are given.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want in-person, physician-led GLP-1 care in Edina, Minnetonka or Woodbury, and you are ready to pay out of pocket once the answers above are in writing. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price before a consultation, or if hormone therapy is your main goal and you want a named prescriber before you book.
