Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Dr. Dyson's weight loss approach different?

Dr. Dyson combines medical weight loss with aesthetic treatments, addressing both health and cosmetic concerns. Her approach includes thorough medical evaluation, prescription medications when appropriate, and body contouring to help achieve comprehensive transformation.

How quickly can I expect to see weight loss results?

Most patients begin seeing results within 2-4 weeks of starting their program. Significant weight loss typically occurs within 2-3 months, with continued progress throughout the treatment period.

Are prescription weight loss medications safe?

When prescribed and monitored by Dr. Dyson, prescription weight loss medications are safe for appropriate candidates. We conduct thorough medical evaluation and ongoing monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
