eMI Aesthetics vs Kina
The verdict
eMI Aesthetics takes it — 70.1/100 to 69.8/100, but only just.
eMI Aesthetics grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. eMI Aesthetics is a US direct-to-consumer telehealth brand offering doctor-guided GLP-1 weight loss programs to eligible patients in all 50 states. Kina is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
