About Muse Medical Aesthetics

What is Muse Medical Aesthetics?

Muse Medical Aesthetics is a medical spa with offices in Westbrook and Branford, Connecticut. Most of its work is cosmetic: Botox, fillers, Sculptra, microneedling, laser treatments, facials, head spa and IV infusions. Weight loss is one of its services, and Muse says it is now offering weight loss injections in Westbrook, using semaglutide. In its own words: "This service requires consultation and blood work prior to initiation."

The team page lists Michelle Laspino as Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Ashley Hutchinson as Registered Aesthetic Nurse. No physician is named, and Muse does not say which of them, if either, prescribes the weight loss injections. Alyssa Gambardella is listed as owner and advanced injector. Muse has a Google rating of 5 from 35 reviews and is listed as a medical spa. It names Branford, Madison, Guilford, Clinton, Westbrook and Old Saybrook as the towns it serves. Hormone therapy, peptide therapy and longevity medicine are not among its services.

This listing is for its Westbrook office at 4 Grove Beach Road N.

What does it cost?

Muse does not publish a price for weight loss injections, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. Its weight loss program covers an initial consultation, medical history and medication review, initial lab work and its review, weekly in-office injections, a monthly weigh-in, and dosage adjustments and medication tapering. Nutritional coaching, fitness coaching and IV wellness infusions are offered as add-ons, with no prices listed. Insurance is not accepted, so this is cash pay. Muse does not mention financing or HSA payment.

Other prices are published. A patient wallet runs on a monthly fee of $75, $100, $150 or $200 and can be saved toward any service. A signature facial is $130, a CoolPeel CO2 treatment for the face alone is $599, and full-body laser hair removal is $1000. Muse offers a free consultation.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes and signs the weight loss prescription, and is a physician involved? Does the program price include the medication, the blood work, the weekly injections and the monthly weigh-ins? Is the semaglutide brand-name or compounded, and where is it filled? What do the initial and follow-up lab tests cost, and are they billed separately? Is weight loss available at the Branford office? Muse also mentions injections in Prospect and East Lyme. Where are those given? Can any visits be done by telehealth? How do you cancel a program or a patient wallet, and is any part refundable? Can the patient wallet be applied to the weight loss program?

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cosmetic or skin treatments in Westbrook or Branford and you are considering a cash-pay weight loss program. Before you pay for the program, get written answers to who prescribes it, what the price covers and how cancellation works. If you need hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine, this clinic does not list them.
