About Fresh Slate

What is Fresh Slate?

Fresh Slate is a medical spa in Austin, Texas, with a 5 rating on Google from 28 reviews. Much of what it offers is cosmetic: injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport and JUVÉDERM®, skin treatments, microneedling, and treatments such as MonaLisa Touch®. It also lists medical weight loss, hormone replacement therapy for men and for women, peptide therapy, sexual wellness and IV drips. Weight loss is one service among many. In its own words, it offers a "science-driven, medically supervised weight loss program in Dripping Springs, TX."

The one clinician the business names is Leah Umnitz, listed as MSN, APRN, FNP-BC. Her page says she has practiced for 10 years in aesthetics and has also worked in family practice and specialty hormones. The weight loss copy mentions nurse practitioners and physician assistants in general terms without naming them. The only medication it names is GLP-1s, a drug class with no brand given.

What does it cost?

Fresh Slate does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy or peptides. It does not state a consultation fee, whether insurance is accepted, or whether any price includes medication. It does say treatments are explained before you start, and that "Payment-plan options may also be available if you prefer to space out costs." Ask for the full cost in writing before your first visit.

It mentions a membership with an initial six-month term that then continues month to month. It does not say which services the membership covers.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for weight loss medication and for hormone therapy, and whether Leah Umnitz will be that prescriber for each. Ask whether the monthly weight loss fee includes the GLP-1 medication or whether it is billed separately, and whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation costs and what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since hormone therapy starts with blood tests. For peptides, ask which ones are offered and who prescribes them.

Ask how the six-month membership works, whether it covers the weight loss or hormone programs, and how to cancel after the initial term. Ask whether follow-up can be done by telehealth, what the office hours are, and whether it takes insurance or HSA funds. Its weight loss pages also name Dripping Springs and Oregon, and it does not say whether those are offices or only areas it serves, so ask which location you would be seen at.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want cash-pay medical weight loss or hormone care from a clinic that also does cosmetic work, and you are comfortable getting prices, prescriber details and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices or insurance billing up front, since neither is stated.
