About Essence Medical Spa

What is Essence Medical Spa?

Essence Medical Spa is a med spa at 2202 1st Ave North, Suite 1, in Billings, Montana. Its main business is spa and cosmetic care, including skincare, facials, and injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers. Its listed services are Day Spa, Weight Loss Program, Medical Spa, and Skincare and Nutraceuticals, and it also lists hormone replacement therapy and PRP.

Jodi Gilligan, FNP-C, is the Medical Director and owner, and she is the one prescriber named. The weight loss program comes in two versions, semaglutide with B-12 and tirzepatide with B-12, and the B-12 injections are included in the package. In its own words: "Our two weight loss programs include weekly injections, medically supervised with nutritional guidelines."

It is open Monday and Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Tuesday through Thursday 9 am to 7 pm, and Saturday 10 am to 2 pm, and it lists visits as by appointment only. It has a Google rating of 5 from 73 reviews.

This listing is for its Billings office at 2202 1st Ave North, Suite 1.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss program. The consultation is free, and you can book it by calling (406) 969-1089 or texting 406-545-9973.

It does not say whether the program price includes the semaglutide or tirzepatide itself. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. Its menu lists a VIP Membership and VIP / Financing, but the terms of either are not given on its website.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication or only the B-12, visits, and check-ins. Ask whether the semaglutide and tirzepatide are brand-name or compounded, and who fills them. Ask who signs each prescription and how often you would see Jodi Gilligan, FNP-C.

Ask what the weekly weigh-ins, check-ins, and labs (if needed) cost beyond the program fee. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask how membership, financing, and cancellation work.

Confirm the address before you go. Some of its online listing text gives 1812 Grand Avenue, Billings, MT 59102, and the number (406) 855-2046, which differ from its office address.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a weekly injection program overseen by a named nurse practitioner, you have 10 or more pounds to lose (the program is set up for that), and you are willing to get the full cost in writing before you commit. If you want a published price list before you pick up the phone, it is worth calling only after you have asked the cost questions above.
