About Optimized Balance & Beauty

What is Optimized Balance & Beauty?

Optimized Balance & Beauty is a medical spa at 4371 Charlotte Highway, Suite 7, in Lake Wylie, SC 29710. It describes itself as a medically led boutique med spa. Most of its listed services are cosmetic: Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers, ellacor Micro-Coring, and facials and skin treatments. It also offers hormone optimization and medical weight support. It welcomes patients from Lake Wylie, Clover, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Rock Hill, York County and South Charlotte.

Shannon Shipe, FNP-BC, is the founder and the only prescriber named. She is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of clinical experience and over nine years specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and aesthetic injectables. In its own words: "No two patients receive the same plan."

The hormone program names estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, and describes creams, gels, capsules, patches and pellets as delivery options. The weight program offers prescription-based therapy for patients who qualify, but it does not name a weight-loss medication. Its Google rating is 5 from 8 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or membership terms. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee, or whether it accepts insurance. The hormone process starts with a 60-minute in-person visit at the Lake Wylie office. Follow-up visits are typically set 6 weeks after starting, then every 3 to 6 months once levels stabilize. Ask for the price of the first visit and of each follow-up in writing before you commit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs each hormone prescription and each weight-loss prescription, and whether Shannon Shipe sees you at every follow-up. Ask whether the hormone medication is part of what you pay or billed separately, and whether the hormones are FDA-approved or compounded. The clinic's own FAQ separates the two, so the question is fair to ask. Ask which weight-loss medication it would prescribe and what qualifies a patient for it.

Ask what lab work and each follow-up cost, whether follow-ups can be done by telehealth, since it does not say, and how cancellation works. It does not list office hours, so ask when the office is open before you plan a visit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy, medical weight support and cosmetic or skin work in one office with one named prescriber, and you are ready to ask about cost before booking. If you need published prices, a named weight-loss medication or posted hours before you call, it may be worth waiting for those answers first.
