Services Offered
Our medical weight loss program starts with comprehensive metabolic testing to understand your body's unique needs. We offer prescription weight loss medications when appropriate, including GLP-1 receptor agonists that help control appetite and improve insulin sensitivity. Body contouring treatments using CoolSculpting technology target stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise. Nutritional counseling provides personalized meal planning and education about sustainable eating habits. We also provide hormone optimization therapy to address underlying imbalances that can make weight loss difficult. Regular body composition analysis tracks your progress beyond just the scale, measuring muscle mass, body fat percentage, and visceral fat levels. Support doesn't end after treatment, our maintenance programs help you sustain your results long-term through continued monitoring and lifestyle coaching.

Why Choose Glow Aesthetics Medical Spa
What sets Glow Aesthetics apart is our medical approach combined with spa-like comfort. Our physicians have extensive training in obesity medicine and metabolic health, not just cosmetic procedures. We use the latest FDA-approved treatments and continuously update our protocols based on current research. Unlike franchise weight loss centers, we provide personalized care tailored to Vermont's unique lifestyle and seasonal challenges.
Our success rates speak for themselves, over 85% of our patients achieve their initial weight loss goals, and 70% maintain their results after two years. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, which is why every treatment plan is customized based on your medical needs, preferences, and budget constraints.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for medically necessary weight loss treatments, particularly when you have qualifying conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea. Our initial consultation fee is $150, which includes comprehensive metabolic testing. Monthly medication costs range from $200-$800 depending on the prescribed treatment. Body contouring sessions start at $600 per area. We offer financing options through CareCredit and create payment plans to make treatment accessible. Insurance coverage varies significantly, so we'll verify your benefits before starting any treatment program.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come to your first appointment prepared to discuss your complete medical history, including all medications and supplements you're currently taking. Bring a list of previous weight loss attempts and what worked or didn't work for you. We recommend keeping a food diary for at least a week before your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns.
During treatment, maintain open communication with our team about any side effects or concerns. Follow medication instructions carefully and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, most patients see significant results within 3-6 months, but individual timelines vary based on starting weight and health conditions.
