Medical Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss is a non-surgical approach to weight loss that can help you safely and effectively achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. With the help and guidance of expert LUX Med Spa professional Caroline Mainous, NP, you can achieve weight loss results similar to gastric bypass surgery without an invasive procedure. 

Medical weight loss combines weight loss medications with lifestyle and dietary changes to achieve the best results. Even better, medical weight loss involves medical assistance that helps monitor your lab work and overall health throughout the entire process. Below, discover more about how LUX Med Spa can partner with you to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

About Medical Weight Loss Medications

LUX Med Spa’s medical weight loss focuses on a healthy combination of dietary and exercise changes as well as medical weight loss medications. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two commonly used medications to help support weight management. 

Semaglutide

When you eat any type of food, your body will naturally release a hormone known as glucagon-like peptide-1, also known as GLP-1. This hormone can make your brain think you are full and make you less likely to continue eating. 

As such, Semaglutide works as a “GLP-1” agonist, which helps minimize the hormone response to make you less hungry. Patients taking Semaglutide often notice a significant decrease in appetite and an increased feeling of fullness after eating a small amount of food.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a medication that works similarly to Semaglutide by minimizing GLP-1. This medication is often used more for individuals who require more advanced weight loss. Tirzepatide has a dual-action mechanism that enhances insulin release but also plays a role in how your body stores fat.

What to Expect: Getting Started with Medical Weight Loss

Are you ready to regain your confidence and feel great in your skin? The first step to begin your weight loss journey is to contact us to make an appointment to book a consultation. During your consultation with Caroline, you’ll learn more about what to expect with medical weight loss. Caroline will gather important information about your health background and history. 

To begin, we require comprehensive blood work to be drawn which will assess your current health and examine specific markets. Caroline will examine your blood work to ensure you are a candidate for medical weight loss medications and determine which medication is best for you. If you are deemed to be a candidate for medical weight loss, the medicine will be ordered and arrive within five to seven business days. Medical weight loss medications can be injected either at home or as in-office injections.
