What is Aspire Medispa?
Aspire Medispa is a medical spa at 6175 N. Fresno St., Suite #101, in Fresno, California. It has operated since 2007 and shares its building with the Valley Institute of Plastic Surgery, which Dr. Mark A. Chin directs. Dr. Chin is a board-certified plastic surgeon and the medical director, and he is the one person listed as the prescriber for its weight loss care. It has a 4.3 rating on Google from 6 reviews.
Most of the practice is cosmetic. It offers BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM®, Kybella®, chemical peels, microneedling, laser hair removal, Ultherapy®, and several energy-based and laser treatments. Weight loss is one of its services. In its own words: "our weight loss management program consists of a medically supervised weight loss plan that includes prescription semaglutide or tirzepatide, along with a personalized program tailored to your individual weight management needs."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss care, and it does not say whether the program fee includes medication. Its consultation is described as complimentary, and you schedule it by calling (559) 435-8477. For cosmetic treatments, cost depends on the service, the areas treated and the number of treatments, and you receive a price quote during your consultation. It offers financing through CareCredit®, a health and wellness credit card. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. Its blog cites national and California filler averages from a CareCredit report. Those are not the clinic's own prices.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the monthly weight loss fee includes the medication, and what you will pay with and without it. Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. The clinic names brand products but does not say which it supplies. Ask who writes your prescription, how often Dr. Chin reviews your progress, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether check-ins can be done by telehealth. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum commitment. Ask whether it bills insurance at all. Finally, ask Dr. Chin to walk through the side effects its own FAQ lists and how they apply to your medical history.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a physician-led weight loss program, you can pay cash or financing for it, and you are also interested in cosmetic treatments from the same office. If you need published prices or insurance billing, call first and get the numbers in writing before you book.
