About Ritual Aesthetics and Wellness

What is Ritual Aesthetics and Wellness?

Ritual Aesthetics and Wellness is a medical spa in Reno, Nevada, with offices in Reno. Most of what it offers is cosmetic, including wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, Sculptra, microneedling and hair restoration. It also offers IV therapy, vitamin injections, gut health testing, nutritional counseling and a GLP-1 Weight Loss & Wellness Program. Weight loss is one service among several, and it is the one most people paying cash will be weighing.

The weight loss program is led by a board-certified nurse practitioner, but the clinic does not name that person, so ask who will write and renew your prescription. Each month includes one visit, medication adjustments and clinical dose management, lifestyle and nutrition coaching, side effect support, a complimentary B12 injection, and access to its ShapeScale biometric scanner, which tracks fat loss, muscle mass and body composition. The clinic's blog compares semaglutide and tirzepatide, but the program itself refers only to GLP-1 medications and does not name the one you would receive.

This listing is for its Reno office at 5570 Longley Lane, Suite A.

What does it cost?

The program costs $150 a month. That fee covers all clinical services and stays active as long as your prescription is current. It does not include the medication. The prescription is filled at an outside pharmacy, and you pay for the medication directly to that pharmacy.

In its own words: "Continued participation is required while using GLP-1 medication." It does not say how or when you can cancel. The clinic does not publish a consultation fee, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance or offers a payment plan for this program.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescriber. Ask for the nurse practitioner's name and whether that person will prescribe for the whole program. Then ask which medication you would receive, whether it is brand-name, and whether any option is compounded.

Next, ask about the money. Ask what the medication will cost each month at the pharmacy, since the $150 fee does not cover it. Ask what the initial consultation costs and whether it counts toward your first month. Ask whether lab work is included or billed separately, what follow-up beyond the monthly visit costs, and whether any part of your care can be done by video.

Finally, ask how to end the program. Ask whether any part of the $150 fee is refunded if your prescription lapses, and how much notice you must give. Ask about office hours, which are not listed, and whether insurance is accepted for any part of your care.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a weight loss program led by a nurse practitioner, you are ready to pay cash for both the monthly fee and the medication, and you are comfortable with a clinic whose main business is cosmetic. If you need a named prescriber, a published consultation fee or insurance billing, get those answers before you book.
