About Beleza Surgery & Med Spa

What is Beleza Surgery & Med Spa?

Beleza Surgery & Med Spa is a surgery center and med spa with four locations in Cedar Park, Killeen, Austin and Liberty Hill, Texas. Its main work is plastic and cosmetic surgery, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Staci Hix-Hernandez, who has over a decade of experience in plastic surgery. Dr. Roger Smith leads its general surgery department. Both are named as prescribers. Its medspa services include injectables, skin treatments, nonsurgical procedures, health and wellness, and weight loss. It serves patients from Austin, Cedar Park, Killeen, Liberty Hill, Round Rock and Georgetown. It has a 4.6 rating on Google from 127 reviews. Its phone number is (512) 354-1283.

Weight loss is sold as Beleza F.I.T., short for Focused Intentional Transformation. The program uses three medications. The main one is an FDA-approved GLP-1 agonist, and it does not name the drug. In its own words: "The workhorse of our program is an FDA-approved GLP-1 agonist that is taken once per week." The other two are a lipotropic agent, described as a mix of B vitamins and fat-shrinking agents, and a drug described as helping the body make more of its own growth hormone. It does not publish its hours, and it does not say whether it offers telehealth.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss or any other service. The first step is a complimentary consultation. After that visit and a review of some basic lab values, patients have a check-in every two months, and medication is ordered for two months at a time. It does not say whether the medication is included in the program cost. It accepts several payment methods, including low-interest financing. It does not say whether insurance covers weight loss treatment, and it does not state cancellation or membership terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the weight loss prescription. Two prescribers are named, but the weight loss information names Dr. Hix-Hernandez. Ask whether the program fee covers all three medications, and what each one costs if billed separately. Ask the name of each drug, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask for the FDA-approval claim to be confirmed in writing. Ask what lab work is required before you start, what it costs, and what each two-month check-in costs. Ask which health conditions would rule you out, whether HSA or FSA funds can be used, and how cancellation works, including whether medication already ordered can be refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medically supervised weight loss from a practice whose main work is surgery and med spa treatments, and you can pay out of pocket or with financing. It says candidates should be in good overall health, with conditions such as diabetes under control, and willing to change how they eat and move. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy as services, so look elsewhere if those are what you need.
