What is illumeMD?
illumeMD is a physician owned and operated medical aesthetics practice at 8643 Concord Mills Blvd., Concord, NC 28027. It serves patients from Charlotte and Concord. Most of what it offers is cosmetic, including Botox, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, Hydrafacial, chemical peels and tattoo removal. Physician guided weight loss is one of its listed services. Google lists the business as a medical spa, with a 4.9 rating from 272 reviews.
The weight loss program names GLP-1 medications, specifically semaglutide and tirzepatide, along with phentermine. In its own words: "At illumeMD, we combine proven medications such as GLP-1s and phentermine with personalized guidance and InBody body composition analysis to track your true progress." It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy. It does not name the physician who prescribes.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for weight loss. The program comes in three commitment-based options: Kickstart at 6 weeks, Metabolic Reset at 12 weeks, and Concierge at 6 months. Each one starts with a consultation booked through a call, and no fee is stated. It does not say whether medication is included in the program price. It does not say whether insurance is accepted or whether HSA funds or financing can be used.
Laser hair removal is the one service with published prices, last updated 08/01/2023. A single session runs from $100 to $1000, and a package of 7 treatments runs from $600 to $6000. The clinic offers to match a lower written package quote from another local company and take an additional $50 off.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes and what credentials that person holds, since no prescriber is named. Ask whether the program price includes medication or bills it separately, whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and what the program costs without it. The weight loss page says medication support is offered when clinically appropriate and that not all patients are candidates, so ask how that decision is made and what it costs to find out.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since labs are described as optional and ordered only if indicated. Ask how a commitment is cancelled and whether any money is refunded if you stop early. Ask whether telehealth is offered. It does not list office hours, so call (704) 817-9421 to confirm them before you come in.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want physician involvement in a weight loss plan at a clinic that also offers cosmetic treatments, you expect to pay out of pocket, and you can get the prescriber's name and the full monthly cost in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for hormone therapy or peptide therapy, or if you need published weight loss prices before you call.
