What Exactly Is Medical Weight Loss?

Losing weight can help you to look and feel your best, but it’s often extremely challenging to do on your own. To help guide you, Ageless Remedies of Roswell offers a medical weight loss program using Semaglutide to help you achieve healthy and long-lasting weight loss. The use of Semaglutide, alongside other weight loss strategies, can help kickstart your weight loss journey and support you along the way. 

Unlike weight loss programs you may have attempted on your own, medical weight loss provides supervision from our professional medical team to help guide you along the way. Below, we’ll dive into all of the answers to the most commonly asked “what is medical weight loss” questions to help you determine if medical weight loss is an option for you.

What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss programs include individualized weight loss plans that are supervised by a team of medical professionals. If you’ve struggled to maintain your weight loss or lose weight, a medical weight loss program can help. Medical weight loss programs are geared toward individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.

Ageless Remedies of Roswell utilizes Semaglutide as a component of our medical weight loss program, a medication that helps target the underlying cause of weight loss. Administered via a once-a-week injection, Semaglutide has been clinically proven to be safe and effective for weight loss and can help you enhance your confidence.

Strategies and Interventions in Medical Weight Loss

The use of medications such as Semaglutide is only one component of the entire picture in a medical weight loss program. Patients in our medical weight loss program receive regular check-ins and monitoring by our medical team, as well as lab work to track progress and monitor important health markers (blood pressure, A1C, cholesterol levels). We also offer monthly LipoB12 shots that can help accelerate further weight loss.

Medical Weight Loss Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What distinguishes medical weight loss from other weight management approaches?

Medical weight loss differs from other weight management approaches because it offers support from an expert medical team. Medical weight loss uses a personalized, custom-curated treatment plan designed by the Ageless Remedies of Roswell team to help you achieve optimal weight loss results.
Our medical weight loss program includes a complimentary wellness consultation with Dr. Lassiter to review your health history and weight loss goals. We’ll provide a combination approach of individualized treatments to help you achieve your goal weight.

Are there potential side effects or risks associated with medical weight loss interventions?

Medical weight loss is generally safe and effective, with much fewer side effects or risks than surgical weight loss. Medications and supplements used as part of a medical weight loss plan can cause mild side effects. Ageless Remedies of Roswell helps to mitigate potential side effects by monitoring patients regularly throughout their weight loss journey. We offer regular check-ins and lab work to ensure you achieve safe, healthy, and effective weight loss.

How long does it typically take to see results with medical weight loss, and what lifestyle changes are often recommended alongside these programs for sustained success?

Most patients will begin to notice results within a few weeks of starting a medical weight loss program. Semaglutide works by reducing blood sugars and controlling your appetite, which will be apparent within one to two weeks. Alongside medications, our medical weight loss program also recommends regular physical activity, healthy sleep hygiene habits, adequate hydration, and eating well-rounded, whole foods to help achieve the best weight loss results.
