The verdict

The Aesthetic Concierge takes it — 60.9/100 to 55.9/100.

The Aesthetic Concierge grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The Aesthetic Concierge is a physician-led US telehealth practice offering GLP-1 medical weight loss, led by co-founder and medical director Dr.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.
