About Bella Vita Aesthetics & Wellness

What is Bella Vita Aesthetics & Wellness?

Bella Vita Aesthetics & Wellness is a medical spa at 17900 Airline Hwy Ste F in Prairieville, Louisiana. The phone number is (225) 744-1900. Most of its menu is aesthetic work: IPL, laser hair removal, Morpheus8, facials, microneedling, relaxant injections, fillers, waxing, PDO threads, dermaplaning and eyelash services. It also offers weight loss shots and hormone therapy. Its Google listing has a rating of 5 from 31 reviews.

The hormone therapy is the Biote Method. In its own words: "Patient-specific pellets are placed subcutaneously in the body and release a continuous stream of hormones." The pellets contain testosterone or estrogen. The weight loss shot is given once a week, and the clinic does not name the medication. Pronox, a nitrous oxide and oxygen mix, is offered during in-office procedures.

Eric Frusha, MD is the medical director, and Bonnie Gaudin, PA-C is the physician assistant. Hours are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am to 1pm, and weekends closed.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for any service, including the weight loss shots and Biote pellets. It does not state a consultation fee for medical services. Its skin consultation is free. The weight loss program begins with a consultation, after which it builds a custom plan.

Payment plans run through Cherry, which lets you buy now and pay monthly. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance. It also does not say whether a weight loss fee includes the medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes the weight loss prescription, and does a named clinician supervise the shots? The clinic does not say. Which medication does the shot contain, and is it brand-name or compounded? The clinic does not name it.

What does a monthly weight loss program cost, and is the medication included in that fee? What does a Biote pellet insertion cost, how often are pellets replaced, and what do follow-up visits and blood work add? What does the membership include, and how do you cancel it?

Is telehealth available? Is the clinic open on Tuesdays, since its hours skip that day? Do Cherry payment plans carry any interest or fees, and does the clinic take insurance or HSA funds?

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want aesthetic treatments in Prairieville and are considering weight loss or Biote hormone therapy as add-ons. You should be willing to call first for prices and prescriber details. If you need a fixed monthly price or a named prescriber before you walk in, get both before you book.
