Provider review
Better MedSpa review
By Derek Olsson ·
Illinois clinic and telehealth, with starting prices and firm payment terms
Better MedSpa lists semaglutide from $290 and tirzepatide from $390, with in-person Chicago care or Illinois telehealth. The treatment pages describe follow-up and lab monitoring, but the final medication bill and membership obligations need a written quote.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Better MedSpa suits an Illinois resident who wants a Chicago clinic alongside telehealth and ongoing medication monitoring. Its public treatment pages now show starting prices for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, but do not tie those figures to a complete selected monthly bill. Read the payment terms before joining: treatment purchases are non-refundable, and the general membership policy carries a minimum commitment and an early termination fee.

Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You live in Illinois and want the choice of Chicago visits or telehealth
- You want scheduled monitoring and dose adjustments alongside medication
- You can review a written quote and membership agreement before paying
Look elsewhere if
- You need telehealth outside Illinois
- You need flexible refunds for a treatment or membership purchase
- You want the dispensing pharmacy identified before choosing a program
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Semaglutide starts at $290 and tirzepatide at $390; the selected monthly total is unconfirmed.
What you actually pay, month to month
No complete monthly total is confirmed for a selected drug, dose, visit schedule, supplies, and delivery arrangement. The treatment pages link monthly and quarterly memberships without a full public bill.
The commitment trap
A starting treatment price does not establish the total or the commitment attached to a membership.
Money you will meet later
- The general membership terms require 12 months and specify a $200 early termination fee; confirm which agreement governs the weight-loss plan.
- Appointment terms specify $100 for cancellation with less than 24 hours’ notice and $200 for a no-show.
We could not confirm a current price from the public pages we reviewed. We only print a figure the company shows on its own site, never one from a third-party blog. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.
What is included
Compare the total cost, including fees and any minimum commitment. Here is what Better MedSpa bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Consultation and medical review precede treatment
the homepage says a consultation fee can be credited toward treatment.
Bloodwork / labs
Semaglutide describes lab work as needed
tirzepatide describes lab monitoring. Test prices and inclusion are not itemized.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Regular check-ins, titration, and dose adjustments are described
tirzepatide says there are no automatic refills without follow-up.
Human support
The clinic publishes phone and email contacts
with in-person Chicago care and Illinois telehealth.
Injection supplies
The public treatment descriptions do not itemize injection supplies
Shipping
The telehealth page describes discreet medication delivery throughout Illinois
a separate delivery charge is not itemized.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
The telehealth page describes U.S. 503A pharmacy sourcing without naming the dispensing pharmacy. This is the clinic’s sourcing description, not independent pharmacy verification.
Oversight
Regular check-ins, titration, and dose adjustments are described; tirzepatide says there are no automatic refills without follow-up.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Illinois telehealth, with in-person care at the Lincoln Park clinic in Chicago.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Better MedSpa names Dr. Brett Brechner, D.O., as Medical Director. The previously checked NPI address was in Crown Point, Indiana, rather than Illinois. NPI addresses do not establish where a clinician currently practices or which state licenses are active; confirm the assigned clinician and applicable license. Separately, the current terms make treatment and membership purchases non-refundable; the general membership policy specifies a 12-month commitment and a $200 early termination fee.
- Illinois telehealth limits geographic fit
- Selected monthly total and supply costs are not fully itemized
- Dispensing pharmacy is not named on the telehealth page
- Treatment purchases are non-refundable, and general membership terms carry a minimum commitment
- The medical director’s previously checked NPI address differs from the clinic address
Weigh these trade-offs against the costs, care and terms above. For questions to ask before enrolling, see our vendor red-flags guide.
Questions about Better MedSpa
What does Better MedSpa publish about GLP-1 prices?
Its semaglutide page starts at $290 and its tirzepatide page at $390. Both link monthly and quarterly memberships, but neither starting figure establishes a complete monthly bill for your selected plan. Ask for the drug, dose, visits, labs, supplies, shipping, and membership commitment in one written quote.

Can I use Better MedSpa outside Illinois?
The public telehealth service is described for Illinois, with medication delivered within the state. In-person care is offered at its Lincoln Park clinic in Chicago. These pages do not establish telehealth eligibility in another state.
Sources: Better MedSpa clinic and contact information; Illinois telehealth and pharmacy sourcing
What follow-up does the weight-loss program describe?
The treatment pages describe regular check-ins and dose adjustments. Semaglutide lists lab work as needed, while tirzepatide lists lab monitoring and says refills are not automatic without follow-up. The pages do not specify a visit calendar or separate lab charges.
Sources: Semaglutide treatment and monitoring; Tirzepatide treatment and monitoring
Does Better MedSpa name its compounding pharmacy?
The telehealth page says medications are sourced from U.S. 503A pharmacies, but does not name the dispenser. Ask which pharmacy would fill your prescription and which state licenses apply before paying; the sourcing description alone does not identify your pharmacy.
Can I get a refund or leave a membership early?
The general terms make services, treatments, injectables, prepaid packages, and memberships final and non-refundable. They also state a 12-month minimum membership commitment and a $200 early termination fee. Because the treatment pages offer monthly and quarterly memberships, ask which agreement applies to the specific weight-loss plan.
Sources: Semaglutide treatment and monitoring; Tirzepatide treatment and monitoring; Payment, cancellation, and membership terms
What happens if I cancel a clinic appointment?
The terms require at least 24 hours’ notice. They list a $100 late cancellation or rescheduling fee, a $200 no-show fee, and a $100 fee for arrivals more than 15 minutes late. Appointment cancellation is separate from ending a medication membership.

A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
