Weight Loss

Obesity is recognized as a medical condition, often serving as a precursor to various other health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) within the range of 18 to 25 is considered ideal. If your BMI exceeds 25, you are categorized as “overweight or obese.”  … You might be wondering if medically assisted weight loss is a suitable option for you. Typically, an excellent candidate is an individual who is otherwise in good health but has a BMI exceeding 30, or a BMI greater than 27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol. If you meet these criteria and feel like you’ve exhausted various weight loss methods without success, incorporating medication into your weight loss journey may be a viable option. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more about the program and determine your eligibility. Please note that this approach is not typically the primary choice for managing type 2 diabetes. 

Our program involves a series of weekly subcutaneous injections, which you administer to yourself, designed to help you feel fuller, curb cravings, and maintain a sense of fullness for longer periods. These medications will be conveniently shipped to your doorstep. The prescriptions we provide are generic versions of well-known brand name medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. At Elevated Aesthetics, we source these medications from reputable 503A compounding pharmacies within the USA, which helps keep medication costs manageable.

During this initial appointment, you will receive training on self-injections, and your medication will be shipped to you within approximately 7-21 days.

If your BMI is within the healthy range, but you still wish to shed those extra 5 to 10 pounds, you can opt for liraglutide (Victoza) or Lipo-B (MICC) injections, available for daily or 1-2 times a week administration.  Please note that we do not accept insurance for these medications, as obtaining them through insurance can be both challenging and costly.  The program cost is structured as a subscription based on the market value of the product, from $1200-1500 quarterly (every 3 months).
