About Alpine Glow & Wellness

What is Alpine Glow & Wellness?

Alpine Glow & Wellness is a medical spa at 37 Mimosa Dr, Asheville, 28806. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a rating of 5 from 102 reviews. Most of its services are cosmetic: neurotoxins, dermal fillers, Sculptra, OBAGI medical grade skincare, tox parties, wedding preparations and injector shadow days. It also offers GLP-1 weight loss treatments and peptide therapy, and its GLP-1 treatments use semaglutide and tirzepatide.

Dr. Larry Skeete is listed as physician and medical director. Krystal Kay Johnson, BSN, RN, is the founder and a nurse injector. Dr. Skeete began his aesthetics education in 2023. In its own words: "Our licensed medical practitioners provide consultations to determine if GLP-1 weight loss treatments may be right for you." Weekday hours are listed two ways, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is open Saturday by appointment only and closed Sunday. Call or text (828) 920-4569.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for GLP-1 treatments or peptide therapy, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. No consultation fee is stated for weight loss, and it does not publish insurance information. Its membership is $200 a month, billed monthly. Members receive 20 units of Tox each month at $10 per unit, and unused units roll over and take a year to expire. The membership also includes $50 off each syringe of filler, 10% off skincare and add-on services, and $25 off monthly GLP medications with MD approval after a good faith exam. The membership page marks it non-refundable. You can cancel anytime with 30-day notice. It lists Cherry and Affirm as payment options.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the GLP-1 prescription and whether that person is a physician, since no MD or DO credential is printed beside Dr. Skeete's name. Ask whether he sees patients in person, and whether telehealth is offered at all, because the clinic does not say. Ask whether semaglutide and tirzepatide are brand-name or compounded. Its GLP-1 description places them under the heading "Pharmacy Compound" and does not say which they are. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and what the good faith exam costs if you want the $25 membership discount. Ask how to stop GLP-1 treatment, since the 30-day notice applies to the membership. Finally, its About page mentions Dr. Skeete supervising hormone replacement therapy, but the clinic does not say hormone therapy is offered to patients. Ask whether it is.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you mainly want cosmetic injections such as Tox or fillers and are comfortable booking weekday visits with a nurse injector. It is worth calling if you are specifically looking for GLP-1 care, since the prescriber, the type of medication and the total price are not published.
