About Aloha Aesthetics

What is Aloha Aesthetics?

Aloha Aesthetics is a medical aesthetics practice in Aiken, South Carolina. Google lists it as a medical spa, and most of its menu is skin and body work: laser and radiofrequency treatments, injectables, facials, microneedling and hair restoration. Three of its services match what this directory covers: weight management, hormone therapy and peptide therapy. Google shows a 4.8 rating from 42 reviews.

Stacey Bulfinch Idica, ANP-BC, founded the practice and prescribes there. She has 20 years of medical experience, including earlier work as a nurse tech, an ICU nurse and a family medicine nurse practitioner. Hormone therapy is offered to men and women. The weight management program names two peptides, sermorelin and GRF 1-29 NH2, and it does not name a GLP-1 medication. It does not publish a street address, phone number or hours.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or peptides, and it does not publish a consultation fee. The peptide program includes medication, body measurements, a dietary plan and monthly coaching, but no monthly price is given for any of it. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, and it does not publish financing or membership terms. The peptide program has a three-month minimum, with six months recommended and reassessment every quarter.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who sees you at each visit and who manages the prescription between visits. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since the clinic does not say. Ask whether the monthly peptide fee covers the medication, and whether the peptides are compounded or brand-name.

On hormone therapy, the clinic puts it this way: "Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone cream or oral therapy will be determined based on your specific body needs." Ask which form it would start you on, how that gets decided, and whether any of it is compounded.

Also ask what lab work costs and how often it is repeated, what follow-up visits cost, and how cancellation works once the three-month minimum has passed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want Stacey Bulfinch Idica, ANP-BC, as your prescriber and you are ready to pay cash, including a three-month minimum on the peptide program. If you are mainly after skin treatments, hormone and peptide care is one service among many, so ask the questions above before you commit.
