About Carpinteria Med Spa

What is Carpinteria Med Spa?

Carpinteria Med Spa is a medical spa at 5212 Carpinteria Ave in Carpinteria, California, and its main business is aesthetic treatment. Its services include neurotoxin treatments such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, SkinPen microneedling, VI chemical peels, facials, medical grade skincare, skin tag removal, IV hydration with NAD+ and vitamin options, and a PDGF+ growth factor treatment. Jaclyn Kucharski, M.D., is the medical director and founder, a board-certified family physician with over 15 years of practice in hospital and clinical settings. Danielle Becker, a registered nurse, is also on the team.

The weight loss program starts with a physician consultation. In its own words: "Consult with a board certified physician for weight management support." Wegovy is the medication named, offered as a once-weekly injection or as a once-daily oral pill through Novo Care. Nutrition coaching and personal training are available as needed. The clinic has a rating of 5 stars from 16 Google reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, including the weight loss program, and it does not state a consultation fee. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not give a price for the maintenance plan it mentions for patients who stop medication. Payment is accepted by major credit cards, HSA or FSA, Venmo and Carecredit. It does not say whether health insurance is accepted.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and who decides whether you are eligible. In its own words: "A consultation is required to determine eligibility." Ask whether the monthly cost includes the medication, and whether the weekly injection and the daily oral pill are priced the same. Ask whether the Wegovy offered is the brand-name product, because the clinic names Wegovy but does not say whether any medication is compounded.

Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and the maintenance plan cost, and whether there is a consultation fee. Ask whether any visits can be done by video, and what the hours are, since it does not publish them. Ask how cancellation and refunds work for any prepaid program, and what terms apply to Carecredit financing.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want aesthetic treatments and a physician-led weight loss program in one Carpinteria office, and you are ready to pay in cash or through financing and to ask the questions above before committing. It is a weaker fit if you need the price in writing first, since none is published. Call (805) 465-2468 to get those answers before you book.
