About AM Skin Health

What is AM Skin Health?

AM Skin Health is a skin health and aesthetic medicine practice at 6525 Secor Road in Lambertville, Michigan, just north of Toledo. It serves the greater Toledo area and Southeastern Michigan.

What does it cost?

The program start visit is $250, and it includes your first month's supply of 4 syringes, medication education and injection training. Monthly follow-up visits are $75 each. The initial consultation is free to members, a $75 value.

Medication is priced per month by dose: $99 at 1 mg (the clinic calls this micro-dosing), $300 at 2.5 mg, $375 at 5 mg, $450 at 7.5 mg, $525 at 10 mg, $600 at 12.5 mg and $675 at 15 mg. The clinic does not say whether these medication prices are included in the visit fees. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, what a non-member consultation costs, or how membership and cancellation work.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will sign your prescription and adjust your dose. In its own words: "Medication dosing is individualized and determined by your provider based on tolerance, response, and goals." Find out which provider that will be for you and how often you would see them.

Ask whether the monthly medication price is added to the $75 visit fee, and what your total would be at the dose you start on. Ask whether the tirzepatide is compounded and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what labs cost, since they are ordered as needed. Ask what membership costs, how to cancel, and whether any prepaid visit or supply is refundable.

Finally, ask whether the clinic bills insurance, whether follow-up can be done by video, and whether it offers peptide or longevity care, since none is named.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a medical weight loss program with physician and nurse practitioner prescribers, you can keep weekday appointments, and you live in or near Toledo or Southeastern Michigan. If you need insurance billing, telehealth, or peptide or longevity care, call and ask before you book.
