Better MedSpa

Illinois residents who want a Chicago clinic and will confirm the GLP-1 formulation and membership commitment before joining.

Reasons to consider it

  • Real dollar pricing published on the memberships page for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, broken out by 1-month vs. 3-month commitment
  • Serves Illinois statewide via telehealth with an in-person Lincoln Park, Chicago location

What to weigh up

  • Membership terms say twelve months with a $200 early termination fee, while the FAQ says six months; ask which applies to GLP-1 care
