Better MedSpa vs This Gen Wellness
The verdict
Better MedSpa takes it — 57.2/100 to 56.9/100, but only just.
Better MedSpa grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Better MedSpa is a physician-led Chicago (Lincoln Park) practice offering medical weight loss and body contouring, with telehealth across Illinois. This Gen Wellness is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #402 · C
Strengths
- Broad menu: semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
- Both oral and injectable formulations offered
- Physician-led; medical director Dr. Brett Brechner, DO
- Both in-person Chicago visits and statewide telehealth
- Doorstep delivery throughout Illinois
Where it loses points
- Telehealth limited to Illinois only
- No pricing published online
- Compounded vs brand formulation not specified
- Med-spa positioning blends weight loss with aesthetics
Graded #405 · C
Strengths
- Requires a synchronous live audio-video visit with a New York-licensed clinician — prescriptions are never issued from the intake form alone
- Assessment and clinician review are free; you only pay if treatment is prescribed and you choose to proceed
- Names its legal entity (ThisGen, LLC) and specifies New York governing law in its terms
- No long-term contracts — plans can be paused or stopped
- The same clinician follows your care, with ongoing secure messaging between visits
Where it loses points
- Publishes no prices at all — 'We don't list flat prices on the website'; cost is disclosed only after a clinician reviews your assessment
- Serves New York only — 'we currently operate exclusively for patients located in New York'
- Dispensing pharmacies are not named, only described as 'licensed U.S. pharmacies'
- Does not state whether its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded or brand-name
- Does not bill insurance; verifying any reimbursement is the patient's responsibility
