About Advanced Aesthetics USA

What is Advanced Aesthetics USA?

Advanced Aesthetics USA is a medical spa with a weight loss program, located at 9030 Three Chopt Road Suite D in Richmond, Virginia. It was founded in 2023. Most of its listed services are aesthetic, including Botox, dermal filler, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, microneedling, skin tightening, and body contouring. Its weight loss services are a Metabolic Health Program, sold as a membership, and a Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program. Hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Mondays and Thursdays, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm on Tuesdays, and 9:00 am to 1:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. It is closed Wednesdays and Sundays.

The prescriber named is Dr. Jason Welch, MD, MD, its Medical Director. He is described as board-certified in family medicine and in obesity medicine. The only medication named is Ozempic. In its own words: "A board-certified obesity medicine specialist leads our weight loss programs, designing customized plans grounded in medical science and your unique needs." Google lists the business as a medical spa with a 5 rating from 111 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight loss membership is $150 a month. The membership is described as including an initial consultation with an obesity medicine specialist, regular follow-up visits, weight monitoring tools, nutrition guidance, body composition analysis, continuous medical supervision, and discounted medications when appropriate. It does not say whether medication is included in the $150, so the cost of any prescription on top of that is unknown.

Consultations are free, and the weight loss evaluation is free as well. Prices for med spa treatments are not published. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not state cancellation terms for the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the membership. Ask whether the $150 a month includes any medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs each month and who bills you for it. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are part of the membership. Ask how the membership is canceled, how much notice is required, and whether a fee applies.

Ask who writes the prescription and how often you would see the prescriber. Dr. Welch is named as Medical Director, so ask whether he prescribes for your program or whether another clinician does. Ask whether any medication is brand-name or compounded. Access to FDA-regulated compounding pharmacies is mentioned, so ask which products you would receive and which pharmacy supplies them.

Ask whether the clinic accepts insurance, including Medicare, and whether telehealth is available for follow-up, since neither is stated. For med spa work, ask the price of the specific treatment before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-supervised weight loss membership in Richmond and also want aesthetic treatments in the same office. It is a weaker fit if you need hormone or peptide therapy, which it does not describe, or if you want the medication cost and cancellation terms in writing before you pay anything.
