About Sorella Aesthetics

What is Sorella Aesthetics?

Sorella Aesthetics is a medical spa at 43 Willow Pond Way, Suite 100, Penfield, NY 14626, and it serves Rochester and the towns around it. It describes itself as a sister-owned med spa. Most of its listed services are aesthetic or IV work, including Botox, fillers, lasers, IV hydration and NAD+ infusions. It also offers weight loss injections, peptide therapy and DUTCH hormone mapping, which is a hormone test that ends with a review of results and a treatment plan. Google shows a rating of 5 from 145 reviews.

Two nurse practitioners prescribe: Lauren E. Halaris, MS, FNP-BC, and Julie L. Caruso, MS, FNP-BC, FNP-C. It lists both as founders. Lauren is described as having 10+ years of experience in the medical field, and Julie's focus is headaches and migraines. The registered nurses named on its peptide material are not listed as prescribers.

This listing is for its Penfield office at 43 Willow Pond Way.

What does it cost?

The one starting price it publishes is for weight loss injections: $450 monthly. It does not say whether that covers the medication. It does not publish a consultation fee, and injection appointments require a $50 deposit. The DUTCH hormone mapping test is $495, which includes the at-home kit, full lab analysis and a one-on-one review of results. It does not publish prices for peptide therapy, NAD+ or its aesthetic treatments. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not describe financing, membership terms or cancellation.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the two nurse practitioners will write your prescription and who handles follow-up. Ask whether the $450 monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the medicines the weight loss section names, Zofran, Colace, Senna, Miralax and Imodium, are billed on top of it.

Ask whether the weight loss medication is brand-name or compounded. In its own words: "Our compounded medications at Sorella Medical Aesthetics are purchased within the United States." Its peptide section also states that the treatments "are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)," so ask what that means for the treatment you are considering.

The weight loss section requires a consult and blood work from within 3 months, and it lists CBC, BMP or CMP, TSH with T4, B12 and D3 among the labs. Ask whether labs are billed separately and what they cost. Ask whether the consult is charged if you are found ineligible, since it says not all patients qualify when their health history rules out the medication.

Finally, ask about follow-up visits, whether any visits can be done by video (it does not say), how to cancel, whether the $50 deposit is refundable, and what hours it keeps (none are listed).

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Penfield, want weight loss care, peptide therapy or a hormone test from a nurse practitioner in person, and are willing to get the medication and fee details in writing before you pay. It is a harder call if you need every price published before you book, since most of its prices are not.
