The Skin Renewal Center
Verified listingAbout The Skin Renewal Center
The Skin Renewal Center is a physician-led aesthetic and wellness practice at 1512 W Alabama St in Houston, and it offers a medical weight loss program that uses semaglutide, the same class of GLP-1 medication behind drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. The site headlines semaglutide "for patients who wish to lose 15% of their body weight," but no dollar figure is attached to the program, so pricing is a call-ahead question.
The practice is led by Dr. Patrick McNamara, described as a board-certified internal medicine physician who has been treating Houstonians for 34 years. Other staff named on the team page are Walter Campo, Chris Gaillard (a licensed massage therapist), and Jose Vazquez. That is useful context if continuity and a physician's involvement matter to you.
Beyond weight loss, the service list is broad and skews toward skin and body. It includes Plasma IQ, Rejuvapen microneedling, Vanquish ME and body contouring, dermal fillers, a growth factor facial, laser treatments, chemical peels, hair restoration with PRP, and erectile dysfunction treatments. On the injectable and medication side the site names Botox, Jeuveau, and Xeomin for wrinkle relaxing, plus Vitamin B-12 and Lipo-B shots that are commonly paired with weight and energy programs.
Now the gaps, because they are the questions to ask. There is no published price for anything, including the weight loss program. The site describes an initial consultation as complimentary, but that language sits on the homepage and carries no dollar figure, so confirm it directly rather than assuming. Whether the practice accepts insurance is not stated, and given the cash-pay orientation of this directory you should expect out-of-pocket billing unless a call says otherwise. Telehealth is not mentioned, so if you want virtual visits, ask. A defined service area beyond the Houston location is not stated either.
For a weight loss searcher, this is a reasonable place to call precisely because it names a supervising physician and states the medication used. The two things you cannot learn from the site are the cost and what a month of treatment includes, such as whether labs, follow-up visits, and the medication itself are bundled or billed separately. Get those in writing before you commit.
The posted hours are: closed Monday, Tuesday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, and closed Sunday. Call within those windows, ask for the semaglutide program's total monthly cost and what it covers, and confirm whether your first consultation is truly free.
