About CFR Aesthetics - Center for Facial Rejuvenation

What is CFR Aesthetics, Center for Facial Rejuvenation?

CFR Aesthetics, Center for Facial Rejuvenation is a physician-guided medical aesthetics practice at 7268 Jarnigan Road, Suite 204, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It has been open since 2009. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a 4.9 rating from 418 reviews. Most of its work is injectables, laser and light treatments, skin care, body contouring, and cosmetic eyelid and facial surgery. Weight management is one of its wellness services, alongside IV hydration therapy.

The Weight Management Program is the clinic's medical weight loss service. The clinic describes it as "medically supervised weight management with weekly GLP-1 support," with injections given when appropriate. The consultation reviews health history, current medications and eligibility. The clinic does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Hours are Monday 10AM to 6PM, Tuesday through Thursday 9AM to 5PM, and Friday 9AM to 3PM, and the office is closed on weekends.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for the Weight Management Program or for any treatment. The only dollar figures are a $50 cancellation fee and a financing calculator that runs from $1000 to $15,000 in treatment amounts. It does not say whether GLP-1 medication is included in any fee, and it gives no consultation fee for weight management. Its aesthetic services include a complimentary consultation, but that applies to aesthetic treatments.

Accepted payment methods are cash, debit cards, major credit cards, Cherry financing, CareCredit, and HSA/FSA cards "if allowed by your plan." Insurance is not on that list. Cherry plans run from 3 to 24 months, with estimated APRs from 9.99% to 16.99%, and a soft credit check to pre-qualify. The clinic asks for 24 hours' notice to cancel. Same-day cancellations and missed appointments carry a $50 fee, and a no-show fee may apply.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. The program names Imeelyn Zarzuela, FNP, MSN, as its provider, and it says a provider oversees the program. It does not name a physician for the program. The clinic presents Rex A. Yannis, MD, as its supervising physician, so ask who is responsible for the weight program and who signs its prescriptions.

Next, ask whether the monthly cost includes the GLP-1 medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. The program refers only to "GLP-1 medications" without naming a product. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and dose adjustments cost, and whether the program has a set length or a minimum commitment. Ask how cancellation works once you are enrolled. Ask whether any part of the consultation can be done by video, since telehealth is not mentioned. Finally, ask whether the clinic bills any insurance.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person, provider-guided weight program in Chattanooga, can pay cash or finance it, and want the medication, follow-up and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need a named physician overseeing the weight program, or if you expect a published monthly price.
