What Medical Weight Loss Programs May Include
Medical weight loss programs at EsthetixMD are medically supervised and personalized based on individual health needs. Programs may include:
- Initial medical consultation and evaluation, including health history review and, when appropriate, initial blood work
- Prescription weight loss medications, such as GLP-1–based weight loss shots, prescribed and monitored by licensed medical providers
- Personalized treatment planning, tailored to individual goals, metabolism, and response to treatment
- Ongoing monitoring and check-ins, with regular follow-ups to assess progress and adjust treatment as needed
Each program is designed to support sustainable weight loss through medical oversight rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Medical Weight Loss FAQs
Is there a consultation fee?
Your initial consultation fee of $150 is applied to your weight loss program.
How is the medication administered?
The medically compounded skinny shot is injected either in the office by a nurse or by the patient subcutaneously once per week on the same day.
What are the potential side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea and constipation. Nausea can be treated easily with ondansetron (Zofran) or over-the-counter Dramamine. Constipation is alleviated with an increased water intake, stool softener (Dulcolax, Colace), or fiber supplement (Miralax, Metamucil).
What lifestyle modifications are recommended as part of the program?
Our medically supervised weight loss program encourages patients to adopt a balanced diet, get regular exercise, and other changes that will support long-term weight management. This program is customizable based on each patient’s goals and unique health.
