What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss involves a personalized program supervised by our board certified nurse practitioner. It combines a variety of approaches—such as prescription medication, nutritional counseling, exercise guidance, and behavioral therapy—to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
How is medical weight loss different from traditional weight loss programs?
Medical weight loss programs are customized to each individual's health needs and include professional oversight. Unlike standard diet or fitness programs, they may include prescription medications, medical treatments, and ongoing support to address underlying health conditions that can contribute to weight gain.
Who is a candidate for medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss programs are ideal for individuals who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone or those with medical conditions like obesity, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Our nurse practitioner will assess your health history to determine if a medical weight loss plan is appropriate. It is important to understand that medical weight loss programs are not suitable for everyone, especially those with certain health conditions or contraindications to specific treatments or medications. A consultation with a healthcare professional will help determine if the program is safe and appropriate for you.
Are prescription weight loss medications safe?
We prescribe compounded formulations based on FDA-approved weight loss medications, tailored to meet your individual needs. These medications are typically used in combination with a balanced diet and regular physical activity to help support appetite control, metabolism, or fat absorption. Your progress is carefully monitored to ensure safety and optimal results.
Are weight loss results permanent?
While medical weight loss can help jumpstart a healthier lifestyle and help you achieve your weight loss goals, long-term success relies on maintaining healthy habits. Continuous lifestyle adjustments, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, are essential for sustaining weight loss. Our goal is to help you build habits that promote lasting health.
How quickly will I see results?
Results vary from person to person. Some people may start noticing changes within a few weeks, while others may take longer. The speed of weight loss depends on factors like your starting weight, adherence to the program, and individual metabolism.
What types of treatments are offered for weight loss?
Treatments can include prescription weight loss medications, fat-burning injections, meal plans, nutritional counseling, and support for exercise routines. In most cases, hormone therapy or metabolic testing may be recommended to address underlying issues.
How do I get started with a medical weight loss program?
To get started, schedule your initial weight loss consultation, which is a comprehensive one-hour appointment. During this visit, our nurse practitioner will review your medical history, current weight, InBody analysis, and any health concerns to develop a personalized weight loss plan tailored just for you. We recommend booking a morning appointment and arriving fasting—just water and black coffee—so that lab tests can be done if necessary.

What is Body Composition?
Body composition analysis is a valuable tool used by our nurse practitioner to assess your weight by breaking it down into its core components: fat, protein, minerals, and body water. Unlike traditional methods such as BMI or scale weight, this approach provides a more accurate picture of your healthy weight and overall wellness.
By measuring fat mass, lean muscle mass, and body fat percentage, body composition analysis offers detailed insights into your body’s makeup. It also provides important health indicators like your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and visceral fat levels, which are key predictors of your metabolic health and risk factors.
Why is Body Composition Important?
Most diet and fitness goals focus solely on weight loss or gain, but two individuals of the same sex and weight can look completely different due to differences in body composition. Measuring your body composition provides a clearer picture of your unique physique, helping you identify areas to focus on for improved health and wellness.
By measuring your body composition, you gain a deeper understanding of your overall wellness, moving beyond just the number on the scale. You'll be able to determine if you need to build more lean muscle or reduce body fat percentage to achieve a healthier body composition and enhanced well-being.
Why InBody?
Traditional BIA technology treats the human body as a single cylinder and uses one frequency, which can lead to inaccurate results. Conventional devices rely on general estimates based on factors like age and sex to improve accuracy. While this may work for individuals with an average body type, it fails to provide accurate measurements for those who don't fit this standard, such as active older adults.
Since everyone’s body composition is unique, InBody has developed advanced technology that is tailored to the individual, not the average. InBody’s medical-grade body composition analyzers utilize four key technologies to deliver accurate, precise direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSM-MFBIA), rigorously validated against gold-standard methods.

How long does it take to see results?
Most patients begin to feel the effects of HRT within a few weeks, though optimal results may take a few months, depending on individual factors and the type of therapy used.
How do I know if HRT is right for me?
A thorough consultation and hormonal testing are required to determine if HRT is right for you. We will review your symptoms, medical history, and hormone levels to create a personalized treatment plan.

What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, controlled micro-channels to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. At our clinic, we use the only FDA-approved microneedling device, SkinPen, ensuring the safest and most effective results. This treatment smooths, firms, and rejuvenates your skin from within.
What skin concerns can microneedling address?
Microneedling can improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne and surgical scars
Large pores and uneven texture
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Stretch marks
It’s a versatile solution to refresh and revitalize your skin naturally.
How does the treatment work?
SkinPen creates tiny micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s healing and collagen-building response. This process improves texture, tightens skin, and enhances overall radiance. Optional serums applied during treatment can boost hydration and target specific concerns.
Is microneedling with SkinPen safe?
Yes. SkinPen is the only FDA-cleared microneedling device, and treatments are performed by trained professionals. Most clients experience minimal discomfort, with slight redness similar to a mild sunburn that typically resolves within 24–48 hours.
How long is a session, and is there downtime?
Sessions usually last 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Most clients experience mild redness or swelling for 1–2 days. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours, and normal activities can resume immediately.
How many treatments will I need?
While noticeable improvement can appear after a single session, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart provides optimal results. Your provider will design a plan tailored to your skin goals.
When will I see results?
Initial results, like smoother, brighter skin, may be visible within 1–2 weeks. Full improvements in texture, firmness, and tone develop over 3–6 months as collagen rebuilds.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes! SkinPen treatments pair perfectly with:
PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
Hydrating or brightening serums
Chemical peels or light resurfacing
Combining treatments can enhance results and accelerate skin rejuvenation.
Why choose SkinPen?
SkinPen is the only FDA-cleared microneedling device, proven to safely improve skin texture, reduce scars, and stimulate collagen. Choosing SkinPen ensures you get a professional, clinically validated treatment with predictable results.
