Services Offered
Our medical weight loss program encompasses a full spectrum of evidence-based treatments designed to maximize your success. We offer prescription weight loss medications including GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide, which have shown remarkable results in clinical studies. These medications work by regulating appetite and slowing gastric emptying, leading to significant weight reduction when combined with proper diet and exercise. Our medical team carefully monitors your progress and adjusts dosages as needed to optimize results while minimizing side effects. In addition to pharmaceutical interventions, we provide comprehensive nutritional counseling with registered dietitians who create personalized meal plans based on your preferences, lifestyle, and medical history. Our IV hydration therapy supports your weight loss journey by ensuring optimal nutrient absorption and metabolic function. We also offer body composition analysis using advanced DEXA scanning technology to track your progress beyond the scale, monitoring changes in muscle mass, bone density, and fat distribution throughout your transformation.
Treatment Options
Semaglutide Therapy
FDA-approved GLP-1 medication that significantly reduces appetite and promotes weight loss through improved glucose control and delayed gastric emptying.
Tirzepatide Treatment
Dual-action medication targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for enhanced weight loss results, often achieving 15-20% body weight reduction.
Comprehensive Nutrition Counseling
Personalized dietary guidance and meal planning with registered dietitians to support medication therapy and establish sustainable eating habits.
Metabolic IV Therapy
Specialized IV infusions containing vitamins, minerals, and amino acids designed to boost metabolism, increase energy, and support weight loss efforts.
What to Expect
Your weight loss journey at 816 Aesthetic Med Spa begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing to identify any underlying conditions affecting your weight. During your initial consultation, our medical team discusses your weight loss goals, previous attempts, and lifestyle factors to design a personalized treatment plan. If you're a candidate for prescription weight loss medications, we'll explain how these work, potential side effects, and what to expect during treatment. Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor your progress, adjust medications if needed, and provide ongoing support and education. Our nutritionist works closely with you to develop sustainable eating habits and meal planning strategies. Throughout your program, we track key metrics including weight, body composition, blood pressure, and metabolic markers to ensure safe and effective progress toward your goals.

Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for consultations and medical evaluations, though coverage for weight loss medications varies by provider and plan. Our team works closely with insurance companies to maximize your benefits and will help determine your coverage before beginning treatment. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive cash pricing and flexible payment plans to make treatment accessible. GLP-1 medications typically range from $200-400 monthly depending on the specific medication and dosage. We also provide manufacturer discount programs and pharmacy coupons when available to help reduce out-of-pocket costs. Initial consultation fees start at $150, with follow-up visits ranging from $75-125.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success with our weight loss program requires commitment to both the medical treatment and lifestyle modifications. We recommend patients attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results and medication safety monitoring. It's important to follow dietary guidelines provided by our nutritionist, as medications work best when combined with healthy eating habits. Stay well-hydrated throughout treatment, as this supports medication effectiveness and overall health. Be patient with results, as most patients begin seeing significant weight loss within 4-8 weeks of starting treatment. Common side effects like nausea or decreased appetite typically improve within the first few weeks as your body adjusts. We encourage patients to maintain open communication with our team about any concerns or side effects experienced during treatment. Remember that this is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix, and sustainable results require ongoing commitment to healthy habits even after reaching your goal weight.
