What is aNu Aesthetics & Optimal Wellness?
aNu Aesthetics & Optimal Wellness is a medical aesthetics practice at 10090 NW Prairie View Road in Kansas City, Missouri 64153. Its main work is aesthetic treatment and skincare, and it describes itself as more than a med spa. It also runs a physician-led wellness program that includes a medical weight management plan.
Dr. Cristyn Watkins is the only prescriber named. She is double board-certified in family and functional medicine. The clinic's team has over 100 years of collective experience. The weight program lists GLP-1 medications, aNu MD Supplements & Peptides, a Turbo Shot (B12 + MIC) injection, an InBody 570 body composition analysis and infrared sauna sessions. The medications named are Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, CJC/Ipamorelin and BPC-157. In its own words: "Unlike commercial weight loss clinics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs or high-pressure upsells."
It has a 4.8 rating on Google from 491 reviews. It is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am to 5pm, Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 7pm, and closed on weekends.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for any service, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It also does not say whether medication is included in any price, so ask for the full monthly total before you book. For payment, it offers a monthly plan through a financing application. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, or whether HSA or FSA funds can be used.
The Lotus VIP membership puts $100 each month into a Lotus Spa Bank and gives 10% off services. It is pitched around spa services, and it does not say whether it applies to weight care.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription for the GLP-1 medications and peptides, and how often you will see that prescriber. Weekly check-ins are with a medical assistant or nurse, so ask who answers your questions between visits.
Ask whether the monthly price includes the medication or bills it separately. Ask whether each medication is brand-name or compounded. The program mentions both compounded and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, so ask which product is which. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since lab review is part of the program. Ask whether any visit can be done by video, because the clinic does not say.
The weight program is also sold as 30-day kits called GET UP, GET MOVING and GET FIT, which cover the first 3 months. Ask whether you must go through all three, and what each one costs. Finally, ask how cancellation works for the monthly plan and the Lotus VIP membership, and whether there is a minimum term. You can call (816) 359-3310 to ask.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want aesthetic care and a physician-supervised weight program under one roof in Kansas City, and you are willing to get the full price in writing before you commit. It is less suited to you if you need a published price list or a telehealth option before you book.
