Our Weight Loss Staff at About Face is always looking for ways to make the experience better for our patients. Recently we added Saturday weight loss clinic hours; and now, we are adding a second nurse practitioner on the very busy days of Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Beginning September 26, 2024, we will offer Weight Loss Clinic at 2534 Mendota Road, Mendota, Virginia on Fridays from 11 am until 2 pm and Saturdays from 11 am until 2 pm.
Note: No appointment is required for weight loss; however, patients seeking weight loss medications for the first time should come during Weight Loss Clinic Hours which are listed above. New patients should plan to arrive 30 minutes prior to closing so that we have enough time to provide a quality experience.
Weight loss at About Face Medspa & Wellness begins with a conversation–not about where you’ve been–but about where you are wanting to go. We have the very successful GLP-1 injectable weight loss medications as well as the oral medication, Phentermine.
During your visit, a member of our weight loss staff will ask for a medical history, obtain current weight and vitals and discuss plan options. Once all required paperwork is submitted and vitals are taken, you’ll be seen by a Nurse Practitioner who will discuss options, listen to your heart; and if you are a candidate for a prescriptive weight loss plan, prescribe an appropriate medication. This all occurs in a friendly, supportive environment.
All patients must bring their driver’s license on their first visit as we are required by law to participate in the Prescription Monitoring Program database.
Effective October 17, 2023, there is a 3.5% surcharge on all credit card transactions. Please see statement on this subject here.
Note: All credit card transactions will have an additional 3.5% added to these prices. See statement regarding this here.

Special Note: We take the safety of our staff and our patients very seriously — during times of severe inclement weather ( ice, snow or tornado warnings for example), we may close early or opt not to open. During these events, please call ahead and ensure that our staff is available prior to making your visit.
