About Maeve Aesthetics

What is Maeve Aesthetics?

Maeve Aesthetics is a med spa at 818 Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, NY 14222. The phone number is (716) 870-8345. Most of its work is aesthetic: skin tightening with Forma and Morpheus8, Lumecca IPL, facials, dermaplaning, Botox and Daxxify, and facial and lip fillers. It also runs a wellness side with weight-loss peptide therapy, hormone therapy, and a wider group of peptides. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a rating of 5 from 63 reviews. It keeps weekday hours, opens on alternate Saturdays, and is closed Sundays.

Amanda Whitehead, FNP, MSN, is the one person listed as prescribing. Her listed background is 13 years of clinical experience, including 5 years of local experience as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist. The weight-loss program uses tirzepatide and retatrutide, with semaglutide as an additional option. Other peptides named include NAD+, GHK-Cu, Tesamorelin, Sermorelin, BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV. Hormone therapy covers HRT and testosterone, including for women.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish program prices for weight-loss peptides or hormone therapy. It says pricing is set at the consultation, based on program length, peptide choice, and dosing protocol. The only prices published are in the online shop: tirzepatide at $40.00 and NAD+ at $70.00, both listed as lyophilized injectables. The shop does not say how much medication those amounts cover or whether they tie to a program. Consultations are free. The clinic does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether medication is included in any price. HRT and testosterone are described as memberships, but no fee, term, or cancellation rule is given. A payment plan is mentioned with no terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription and who adjusts your dose. Amanda Whitehead is the named prescriber, so ask whether she reviews you at each dose change, and how that works if you choose telehealth. Telehealth is offered, with some patients ordering through the online store and never visiting the office, but no states are named, so ask which ones it covers.

Ask whether the tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. The clinic works with a 503A compounding pharmacy, and it says: "every vial is third-party tested for heavy metals, endotoxins, and concentration." Ask what that testing covers and who receives the results.

Then ask the cost questions. Does the monthly fee include medication? What do labs, the in-clinic body composition analysis, and follow-up visits cost? Is insurance accepted? How is a membership or program cancelled, and is there a commitment period?

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want aesthetic treatments and a medically supervised wellness program from one office, and you are ready to pay out of pocket for both. The clinic describes its weight-loss candidate as an adult with a BMI of 27 or higher, so bring your BMI to the consultation and ask whether it applies to you.
