Do I need to follow a special diet?
While you don’t need to follow a restrictive diet, we provide nutritional guidance to help you make healthy food choices that support your weight loss goals and work synergistically with your treatment.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, contact our office for guidance. Generally, if your next dose is more than 48 hours away, you can take the missed dose. If it’s closer, wait for your next scheduled dose.
Is there flexibility in when I take my medication?
Yes, we’ll work with you to find the most convenient dosing schedule that fits your lifestyle while maintaining treatment effectiveness.
How quickly will I see results?
Individual results vary, but many patients begin noticing appetite changes within the first week and weight loss within the first month. We’ll set realistic expectations based on your specific situation and health goals.
What side effects should I expect?
Common side effects may include mild nausea, digestive changes, or temporary fatigue as your body adjusts to treatment. Most side effects are mild and resolve as your body adapts to the medication. We’ll discuss all potential effects during your consultation.
Can these treatments help with other health conditions?
Many of our weight loss treatments offer additional health benefits, including improved blood sugar control and cardiovascular health markers. We’ll discuss how these treatments might benefit your overall health profile during your consultation.
How often will I need treatment?
Most patients receive weekly injections, though your specific treatment schedule will be customized based on your individual needs and response to therapy.
Are these treatments safe for long-term use?
Yes, when administered under proper medical supervision, our weight loss treatments are designed for safe and long-term use. We closely monitor your progress and adjust treatments as needed to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
How do medical weight loss treatments work?
Our medical weight loss treatments work by regulating hormones that control appetite and metabolism. This helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and support your body’s natural fat-burning processes when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
