Are you struggling with stubborn weight that just won’t go away, no matter how hard you try? We understand how frustrating and disheartening it can be to feel like you’re putting in the work but not seeing the results, and we’re excited to offer a solution.
Weight Loss Medications are prescription medications that can deliver life-changing results to patients struggling with being overweight or obesity. By acting on brain regions that control appetite and reducing blood sugar levels, these medications are clinically proven to be effective in helping patients lose weight and keep it off.
Weight Loss Medications are available at Dignity Medical Aesthetics. If you’re like many of our patients who have tried for years to lose weight without success, these medications, along with our expert medical guidance and support, can help you break free from the cycle of yo-yo dieting and achieve lasting results. Request your consultation today.
These medications are available only by prescription, ensuring that you receive expert medical guidance throughout your weight loss journey.
Clinical studies have shown that patients treated with these medications lost an impressive 15-20% of their body weight within a year — results that were previously only possible through bariatric surgery.
It’s important to note that while these medications are highly effective, they work best as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise and lifestyle changes. To maintain your hard-earned results, you may need to continue taking the medications long-term, while staying committed to your new, healthier habits. The Dignity team will be there to celebrate your successes and help you overcome any challenges that may arise along the way.
Weight loss medications work by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone in your body that is normally produced in the gut every time you eat.
It helps regulate weight by:
There’s evidence that people who have excess weight have decreased production of this hormone. These medications may also work by making up for this lack.
After several weeks of taking these medications, patients start to lose weight in response to the above changes. With long-term use, it’s possible to achieve up to 20% weight loss, especially when you pair your medical weight loss program with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Because this treatment makes it easier to eat less and it has a favorable effect on energy metabolism, many of our patients find that making the switch to healthier habits feels more manageable and sustainable than ever before.
You should be willing and able to stick to the treatment for at least a year to be considered a good candidate. This treatment requires time and patience. You will also need to show a willingness to make lifestyle changes to get the most benefit from these medications.
We’ll work closely with you to develop a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences and goals. We will also provide you with the tools, resources, support and motivation you need to adopt healthier routines and make progress that lasts.
Deciding to undergo medically supervised weight loss with medications can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help you feel at ease on your new weight loss journey, here is what you can expect when getting this treatment:
Treatment always starts with a consultation. Your provider will carefully review your medical history, measure your weight and ask you about any medications and supplements you may be using. They will review laboratory tests to see if this treatment is safe for you. They will explain the treatment process to you and offer personalized guidance.
Weight Loss medications are taken at home. The medications are started at a low dose and increased every four weeks until you reach a maintenance dose. Starting at a lower dose allows your body to adjust to the effects of the medication and minimizes side effects. Most people lose weight even on the lower doses.
You may notice changes in your appetite as soon as you start treatment. The treatment takes time to work, but most patients will notice some weight loss by the end of the fourth week of treatment. As you gradually increase your dose, weight loss will be more noticeable and consistent. After about 15 months, you may lose up to 20% of your weight. Follow-up visits may be necessary so we can check your progress and health.
Thes medications have been carefully tested for safety over many years. Most patients only experience minor side effects, like nausea, constipation, fatigue, abdominal pain and low blood sugar. Severe side effects are rare and may include gallbladder issues, pancreatitis, kidney problems and allergic reactions.
While we don’t know yet whether these medications are safe during pregnancy, breastfeeding or when trying to conceive, it’s advised to wait until you have finished expanding your family before going on these medications. Depending on the medication prescribed, other safety concerns will be reviewed if applicable.
These medications are intended for long-term weight management, so some patients may need to take them indefinitely. Others may choose to quit once they reach their goal weight. However, to prevent regaining weight, you need to commit to making lifestyle changes and see your doctor regularly.
If you’ve found it challenging to lose weight, you’re not alone. It takes more than just willpower and lifestyle changes to achieve lasting success, especially when factors like genetics, hormones and underlying medical conditions come into play.
