Medical Weight Loss

At Elite Medi Spa, we understand that achieving your weight loss goals should fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. That’s why we’re excited to offer our at-home weight loss medication program, providing a more convenient way to stay on track with your treatment—without frequent office visits.

You’ll get your prescribed weight loss medications delivered straight to your door, allowing you to administer them on your own schedule from the comfort of your home. Whether you have a busy lifestyle, frequent travel plans, or just want more flexibility, this option ensures you can continue your weight loss journey without interruption.

Our at-home program offers greater independence, but you won’t be navigating your weight loss journey alone. Our experienced medical team will continue to oversee your progress, providing expert guidance and support every step of the way.

You’ll have a mandatory in-office check-in every 12 weeks as part of your treatment. During these visits, we will:

• Assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your dosage or treatment plan.
• Monitor your overall health to ensure your body is responding well to the medication.
• Address any concerns or questions you may have to keep you confident and informed throughout the process.

Semaglutide is in the GLP-1 RA or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist class of medications. GLP-1 RA is naturally occurring in the body and plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.

Our semaglutide injections emulate the power of GLP-1 RA to help you manage your weight effectively by curbing your appetite, promoting a feeling of fullness, and ultimately fostering healthier eating habits. Unlike invasive surgical options, semaglutide offers a convenient, non-surgical approach to weight management.

Our program features a series of at-home injections aimed at helping you feel fuller, curb cravings, and sustain a sense of fullness for extended periods.

At our Medi Spa, we prioritize your well-being by offering personalized care for each patient. You’ll visit our office every nine weeks to check in with our team and assess your progress toward your goals.

Throughout your treatment, you can anticipate a gradual but steady progress towards achieving your goals. Semaglutide's key mechanism involves curbing your appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness, which in turn aids in cultivating healthier eating habits.

While outcomes may differ among individuals, many have witnessed consistent and lasting weight loss results. For optimal benefits, it's essential to pair the medication with a nutrient dense diet and consistent physical activity.

As you progress through your treatment, you'll experience enhanced blood sugar control due to the Semaglutide injections.

This improvement in glucose control contributes to a sense of increased energy and ability to engage in physical activities without the fatigue that often is felt during weight loss.

It's crucial to stay connected with us for your regular weekly check-ins, ensuring your progress is on track, your treatment plan is optimized, and all your questions are addressed promptly. By staying committed and embracing the guidance provided, our weight loss program with semaglutide stands as a powerful ally in your journey for a healthier weight and improved well-being.

While semaglutide is not a permanent solution on its own, it can be a valuable tool in achieving and maintaining weight loss. It is essential to pair semaglutide with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adherence to the treatment plan we outline for you for long-term success.

Consistency is key—if lifestyle changes are not maintained after discontinuing semaglutide, it is likely you will regain lost weight. Everyone's body is unique, but on average, members lose 5% of their body weight within three months, and 10% of their body weight within six months. Many will see more significant weight loss.

Semaglutide offers several potential benefits, including:

• Improved glycemic control
• Effective in weight loss
• Reduced risk of cardiovascular events
• Convenient once-weekly dosing
• Non surgical, no downtime

Many individuals report experiencing significant changes in a relatively short time frame, although the speed at which results appear varies from patient to patient.

The short-term effects can start showing as early as the first one to four weeks, with initial signs of weight loss. You should experience a decrease in appetite and a heightened sense of fullness after meals, indicating the positive impact of semaglutide.

Medium-term effects begin around weeks five to 20. As your dose gradually increases in line with prescribing guidelines, semaglutide continues to influence appetite, leading to more significant weight loss. During this period, you can expect to experience a gradual and steady decline in body weight, helping you achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and effective manner.

In the realm of weight loss management, the long-term effects of semaglutide have garnered significant attention. Studies have shown that these effects typically manifest after 20 weeks of consistent use, with the weight-loss journey extending well beyond the initial 5 to 6 months.

Common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and injection site reactions may occur.

While serious side effects like pancreatitis and thyroid tumors are rare, it's crucial to promptly report any unusual symptoms to us for proper evaluation and care. Your well-being is our top priority.

Typically, an excellent candidate for the Elite Medi Spa program is an individual who is in good health but is overweight (excess weight BMI ≥25) who also may have a risk of weight-related medical conditions. You have put forth a true effort to lose weight through diet and exercise over the past six months and have still not achieved your weight loss goals and your inability to lose weight is causing significant emotional distress.

 If you find yourself in this category and have tried various weight loss methods without success, incorporating medication into your weight loss journey could be a viable option for you.

Semaglutide is not recommended as a first-line treatment option. It is advised for individuals who have exhausted their best efforts in weight loss without the aid of medication.

This decision is based on clinical guidelines and best practices to ensure the safety and efficacy of treatment. We encourage individuals to consult with their healthcare providers to determine the most suitable course of action for their specific needs.

To determine your eligibility and learn more about the program, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our providers.

To get started, simply call Elite Medi Spa at 541-325-4472 to set up lab work and the initial exam to discuss whether or not you are a good fit for Semaglutide.

We’ll determine if you’re a good fit during the initial exam as we thoroughly go through the lab work and conduct our good faith exam. Your program only begins if your clinician determines that you’re a good fit.

After we have determined that you are a good candidate for semaglutide, we will schedule your first in-office appointment for an injection.

We will discuss your current weight and goal weight, discuss possible side effects, and administer your medication. At this appointment, we will also get you scheduled for your weekly return visits.

At Elite Medi Spa, we are committed to providing you with excellent care and service through monitored care and at-home injections.

You’ll administer all injections in the comfort of your home, and get thorough monitoring at regular check-ins as you work to reach your weight loss goals.
