What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss involves a comprehensive treatment plan combining diet and exercise with weight loss medications and body contouring technologies like CoolSculpting, EmSculpt, Morpheus, and more. Under the supervision of our knowledgeable and compassionate team, patients can receive the support they need to lose weight and maintain their results. Treatment often begins with a blood analysis and body scan to determine underlying health conditions and fat levels. These results are used to create a personalized weight loss plan that typically includes one of the following prescription medications:

Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication first designed to treat Type II diabetes. It targets areas of the brain responsible for appetite regulation, resulting in a reduction of appetite. This motivates patients to eat smaller portions to more easily achieve their weight goal. Semaglutide can be delivered in the comfort of your home as a once-weekly injection after a consultation with our team, where we will provide clear instructions for use.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is another type of weight loss injectable that is often used for patients looking to lose larger amounts of weight. It targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to simultaneously reduce appetite and provide longer feelings of fullness to reduce the amount of food patients eat. This is accomplished by targeted GIP receptors, which are responsible for insulin secretion and metabolism.
