About Skin Affaire MedSpa

What is Skin Affaire MedSpa?

Skin Affaire MedSpa is a medical spa at 1350 N Jesse James Rd, Excelsior Springs, MO 64024. The phone number is (816) 608-8665. Its main business is aesthetic treatment: neurotoxins such as Botox, dermal filler, SkinPen microneedling, laser and IPL, medical-grade skincare and IV hydration. GLP-1 weight loss is one of its services, and it is the one most relevant to someone weighing cash-pay medical weight loss.

The GLP-1 program offers two medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide. Prescriptions follow a medical evaluation and baseline labs. The one physician named is Dr. Carla Gunn-Samson, MD, Medical Director, under whose direction the program is supervised. Tiffany Dow, RN, BSN, is the founder and nurse injector. Joni is also on the nursing team, with no credential given. The practice serves Liberty, Kearney, Lawson and Richmond, and it carries a 5 rating from 51 Google reviews.

What does it cost?

GLP-1 programs start at $199 per month. Consultations are free, and lab work is included in every plan. It does not say whether the medication is part of the $199. The price depends on the medication and dose, and no tier prices are published, so the monthly figure may not be the full monthly cost.

Other services are priced separately. Tox starts at $9 per unit for new clients, and filler starts at $650, with $100 off the first visit for new clients. Insurance is not accepted. Payment is by HSA or FSA funds or financing, and the practice offers payment plans and a rewards program. Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice carry a $50 fee. Commitment and cancellation terms for the GLP-1 program are not published.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes each GLP-1 prescription, and does Dr. Gunn-Samson review it? Is the $199 monthly fee all-in, or is the medication billed on top? What does each medication tier cost? Is the medication brand-name or compounded? What do follow-up visits, dose changes and repeat labs cost? Is there a commitment period, and what does it cost to stop? Do the payment plans cover the medication, and can HSA or FSA funds pay for the whole program? Is any part of the program available by video? The office is open Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 6pm, by appointment only, so ask whether a consultation can be booked on those days.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-supervised GLP-1 program inside a medical spa, you can get to Excelsior Springs on a weekday during daytime hours, and you are willing to get the full monthly cost in writing before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need a fixed all-in price or video visits, since neither is published.
