About Empire Aesthetic Center
What is Empire Aesthetic Center?
Empire Aesthetic Center is a medical aesthetics practice at 4101 Empire Drive, Suite 120, in Bakersfield, California. Most of its services are cosmetic and skin work, including Wrinkle Relaxers, Dermal Fillers, Microneedling, Emsculpt, and laser hair removal. The Medical Weight Loss Program is one of its services, listed under body treatments. Google lists the business as a medical spa and shows a 4.9 rating from 171 reviews.
The weight loss program uses weekly injections of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. The program names Ozempic and Weygovy for Semaglutide, and Zepbound and Mounjaro for Tirzepatide. It begins with an initial consultation, and injections can be given at the office or self-administered at home.
The providers it lists are Aunna Pourang, MD; Melanie Reynolds, FNP-C, CANS; Chelsea Maloney, FNP-C, RNFA, CANS; Kori Sadler, RN; and Jessica Prickett, RN, BSN.
What does it cost?
The initial consultation is $100. A follow-up visit with four weekly injections runs $300 to $600, depending on dosage and medication, and that price includes the medication. The same program also advertises a free consultation, so ask which one applies.
It does not say whether insurance is accepted, so plan on paying cash until the office confirms otherwise. In its own words: "No contracts are needed, and we also offer flexible payment options," but it does not describe those options. The program also lists support perks, such as a complimentary weekly MIC B-12 "Skinny Shot" and 10% off SQ NAD+ Therapy. Ask whether these come with the program price.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and adjusts your prescription. Several providers are listed, but the program does not say which one runs it or whether a physician is involved.
Ask whether the injections are brand-name products or compounded versions. The brands are named, but the program does not say which one is used.
Ask what determines where you fall within the $300 to $600 range, and whether a dose outside that range costs more.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost after the first round, and whether any visit can be done by video or phone. The program does not mention telehealth.
Ask who qualifies, since no eligibility criteria are published, and how cancellation works if you stop partway through.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay weight loss program at a medical aesthetics office in Bakersfield, you can pay $100 for a consultation and $300 to $600 for a follow-up and four weekly injections, and you are comfortable getting answers about the prescriber, the medication, and cancellation before you pay. If you need insurance billing or remote visits and the office cannot confirm either, this one may not fit.
