About Live Oak Med Spa

What is Live Oak Med Spa?

Live Oak Med Spa is a medical spa at 5130 Southport Supply Rd SE Suite 101-2, Southport, NC 28461. The phone number is 910-477-9038, and it is open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays. Most of its work is aesthetic: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin injections, Sculptra, Restylane and Skinvive fillers, energy device treatments, facials, and lash and brow services. It also offers LATISSE and Upneeq, the latter a prescription eye drop for droopy eyelids. Hormone therapy is one service among these, listed under health and wellness alongside BTL Emsculpt NEO and BTL Emsella.

The hormone service is the EvexiPEL Method, which Live Oak offers as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for both women and men. The pellets are custom and plant-based. They are placed just beneath the skin in an in-office procedure and generally last 3 to 6 months. Dr. Sherrie G. Cass, DNP, FNP-C, is the founder and the only prescriber it names, and she oversees hormone treatment. In its own words: "We are proud to be the exclusive provider of the EvexiPEL® Method in our region." Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 108 reviews, in the medical spa category.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The homepage offers free consultations, but that offer is tied to EVERESSE, a device treatment. No consultation fee is stated for hormone therapy. Nothing says whether the hormone price includes the pellets, the insertion, or the lab work that hormone care requires. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether membership plans or financing are available, or what cancelling costs. Ask for a written quote before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with whether Dr. Cass writes and signs the hormone prescription herself, and whether you will see her at each visit. Ask for the total cost of your first visit, including consultation, labs, insertion and the pellets. Ask what the pellets are made of, who prepares them, and whether that pharmacy compounds them. The pellets are described as custom, so get the ingredients and sourcing in writing.

Ask how often follow-up labs and visits are needed, what each costs, and what replacing the pellets costs when they are due. Ask whether any part of your care can be done by telehealth, since that is not stated. Ask which risks and side effects apply to you before you commit, because the consultation is where those are discussed. Finally, ask for the cancellation and refund terms if you stop partway through a course.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone pellet therapy from a clinic that also offers cosmetic treatments, and you are ready to pay out of pocket once you have a written quote. Weight loss and peptide therapy are not among its services, so look elsewhere if either is your goal.
