Are you tired of struggling with diets that don’t work? Have you been exercising consistently but still not seeing the results you want? At AboutSkin Dermatology and Aesthetics, we understand that weight loss can feel like a never-ending battle. That’s why we’re excited to offer a comprehensive medical weight loss program featuring weight loss injections with a groundbreaking medication that’s changing the game for many of our patients.

Why Choose Medical Weight Loss at AboutSkin?

When it comes to your health and weight, you deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach. At AboutSkin, our medical weight loss program is tailored to your unique needs, goals and medical history. Led by Dr. Joel L. Cohen and our team of Board-Certified Dermatologists, our programs combine cutting-edge medications with personalized nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations and ongoing support.

We don’t just hand you a prescription and send you on your way. Our comprehensive approach addresses the complex factors that contribute to weight gain, giving you the tools and support you need for long-term success.

What Are Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections involve the use of an innovative medication that’s revolutionizing the field of medical weight loss. It was originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, but researchers discovered its remarkable potential for aiding weight loss. Injectable weight loss works by mimicking two hormones in your body: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play crucial roles in regulating your appetite, metabolism and blood sugar levels.

By activating your GLP-1 and GIP receptors, weight loss injections help you:

  • Feel full faster and stay satisfied longer
  • Reduce cravings and overeating
  • Improve your body’s insulin sensitivity
  • Support sustainable weight loss

Many of our patients report that these injections act as a powerful catalyst for positive lifestyle changes. By reducing cravings and stabilizing energy levels, the medication often makes it easier to embrace nutritious eating habits and maintain an active lifestyle. These effects can lead to more sustainable, long-term success in your weight loss journey.

How Does Our Medical Weight Loss Program Work?

At AboutSkin, we believe in a holistic approach to weight loss. Here’s what you can expect when you choose our program:

  1. Comprehensive consultation: We’ll start by thoroughly evaluating your health, medical history and weight loss goals. This includes comprehensive lab work to assess your overall health and identify any underlying issues that may be affecting your weight.
  2. Personalized treatment plan: Based on your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan that may include weight loss injections along with nutrition guidance, exercise recommendations and lifestyle modifications.
  3. Medication management: If weight loss injections are right for you, we’ll guide you through the process of starting and adjusting your dosage for optimal results and minimal side effects.
  4. Ongoing support and monitoring: Regular check-ins with our team allow us to track your progress, adjust your treatment as needed and address any concerns you may have along the way.
  5. Complementary treatments: As you lose weight, we can address any skin or body contouring concerns with our range of dermatological and aesthetic treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss Injections?

Our medical weight loss program may be a good fit if you:

  • Have a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions
  • Have tried conventional diet and exercise programs without success
  • Are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes
  • Don’t have certain medical conditions that could contraindicate the use of weight loss injections 

During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and conduct necessary tests to determine if weight loss injections are safe and appropriate for you.

What Results Can You Expect?

While individual results vary, many patients using weight loss injections as part of a comprehensive weight loss program experience significant and sustained weight loss. In clinical trials, participants lost an average of 15 to 20% of their body weight over the course of a year.

It’s important to note that this is not a quick fix or magic solution. It’s a tool that, when combined with healthy eating habits and regular physical activity, can help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

You may start to notice changes within the first few weeks, but the most significant results typically occur after several months of consistent use. Our team will work with you to set realistic expectations and celebrate your progress along the way.

Are There Side Effects With Weight Loss Injections?

Like any medication, injectable weight loss can cause side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea and constipation. These effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to resolve over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

To minimize side effects, we start with a low dose and gradually increase it over time. Our team will closely monitor your response and provide strategies to manage any side effects you may experience.
