Honest framing

What it isn't.

A fit if you…

Have struggled with weight despite diet and exercise
Want medical supervision, not online-only treatment
Are 35+ and feel like your metabolism shifted on you
Are willing to do bloodwork before starting
Want a clear escalation path beyond just the medication (B12, IV, hormone testing if needed)

Not a fit if you…

Are seeking a same-day prescription with no bloodwork
Are looking for the cheapest possible price
Have BMI under 25 (we screen for medical appropriateness)
Want a "guaranteed weight loss" pitch — impossible to guarantee, illegal to advertise

Licensed practice. Real provider.

Glow Beauty Lab is a licensed medical aesthetic practice in Carolina Forest, SC. The GLP-1 program operates inside South Carolina's pharmacy and medical board rules — bloodwork-first, provider-supervised, US-pharmacy-sourced.

Brittany Melvin built the program for the patient most online services fail: the one who wants to actually finish, not just start.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is this different from online GLP-1 services?

They prescribe based on a survey. We prescribe based on bloodwork, a conversation with you, and ongoing monitoring. Their dropout rate is roughly 70% at month 3. Our target is the opposite — we stay with you.

Will my insurance cover this?

Compounded GLP-1 is typically not covered by insurance. The $299 Month 1 is cash-pay all-in.

How long until I see results?

Most patients notice appetite changes within 1–2 weeks. Weight changes typically follow at 4–6 weeks. Full results compound over 3–6 months.

What if I want to stop?

You can stop month-to-month. There's no contract. We'll guide you through a taper if needed.

Side effects?

The most common are nausea, constipation, and reduced appetite. We minimize these through dose titration. Severe side effects are rare but possible — we screen for contraindications during the consult.

Is the medication safe?

Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide/tirzepatide) is sourced from US-licensed compounding pharmacies. It is non-FDA-approved compounded medication — this is a state-required disclosure. Brand-name FDA-approved alternatives (~$1,800/mo cash pay) are also available; we can discuss at the consult.
