About Modern Med | STL Med Spa | Aesthetics & Wellness

What is Modern Med?

Modern Med is mainly a med spa, with offices in Crestwood and O'Fallon, Missouri, both in the St. Louis area. Most of its menu is cosmetic: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, dermal fillers, Sculptra, facials, chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments and hair removal. Its medical services sit under a wellness heading that lists hormone replacement therapy, IV hydration and vitamin shots, weight loss injections, peptides and Emsculpt Neo. Nurse Practitioner Lauren Pohle founded the practice, which has grown over a decade from a small startup into a larger business. The two people listed as prescribers are Lauren Pohle, NP-C, and Taraneh Divanbeigi, FNP-C. Its weight loss information names semaglutide and tirzepatide, along with the brands Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro. Visits are by appointment only.

In its own words: "Injections are given weekly. This prescription medication must be combined with diet and exercise for best results."

Google lists the practice at 4.9 from 513 reviews, in the category weight loss service.

This listing is for its O'Fallon office at 116 Montrachet Dr.

What does it cost?

Weight loss injections start at $100 a shot. The practice does not say whether the medication is included in that price, so ask what a full month of treatment comes to. The weight loss program is described as weekly appointments. Payment by HSA card is accepted. It does not say whether insurance is accepted beyond that. It does not publish a consultation fee, prices for hormone replacement therapy or peptides, membership terms, financing terms or a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will sign your prescription, and whether you will see the same person at each visit. Ask whether the $100 shot price includes the medication, and what one month costs in total. Ask whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version, since the brands are named but it does not say which is dispensed. Ask what the first consultation and screening cost, and whether lab work is billed separately, since lab evaluation is mentioned without a price. Ask whether any visit can be done by telehealth, which is not addressed. Ask how cancellation works, and how booking works when visits are by appointment only.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a prescriber-led weight loss program with weekly injections, you may also want hormone or peptide care under the same roof, and you are comfortable paying per shot in cash. It is a weaker fit if you need a published monthly price or telehealth visits before you book, since neither is listed.
