FAQs about Medical Weight Loss
What is your Medical Weight Loss program?
Our Medspa offers a medically supervised weight loss program utilizing FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro®, Zepbound™). These medications help regulate appetite, enhance satiety, and improve metabolic function, supporting sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle modifications.
How do semaglutide and tirzepatide work?
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic hormones that regulate appetite and insulin secretion. They slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and improve blood sugar control, leading to decreased caloric intake and weight loss.
Am I a candidate for this program?
Ideal candidates are adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. A comprehensive medical evaluation will determine eligibility.
What results can I expect?
Individual results vary, but clinical studies have shown significant weight loss over several months. Consistent medication use, dietary adjustments, and physical activity contribute to optimal outcomes.
How is the medication administered?
Medications are administered via subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. Our team provides thorough instruction on self-administration techniques to ensure comfort and safety.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. These often diminish as the body adjusts to the medication. Serious side effects are rare but will be discussed during your consultation.
How long is the treatment duration?
Treatment duration varies based on individual goals and response to therapy. Regular follow-up appointments will assess progress and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
What is the cost of the program?
Costs depend on the specific medication, dosage, and duration of treatment. During your consultation, we will provide detailed pricing information and discuss any available payment options or promotions.
Do you accept insurance?
Currently, our medical weight loss program is a self-pay service. We can provide documentation for you to submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
What do I need to know before my appointment?

FAQs about Microneedling
What is your Medical Weight Loss program?
Our Medspa offers a medically supervised weight loss program utilizing FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro®, Zepbound™). These medications help regulate appetite, enhance satiety, and improve metabolic function, supporting sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle modifications.
What is microneedling?
Medical grade microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process—stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance.
What skin concerns does microneedling treat?
Microneedling is used to treat a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Stretch marks
Enlarged pores
Hyperpigmentation
Uneven tone or texture
Mild skin laxity
How is medical grade microneedling different from at-home rollers?
Unlike dermal rollers, medical-grade microneedling devices used in our clinic:
Penetrate deeper and more consistently
Use sterile, single-use needle tips
Are performed by trained professionals
This allows for safer, more effective results with lower risk of infection or skin damage.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes! Microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions, because it doesn’t use heat or chemicals that can cause pigmentation issues.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients say microneedling feels like a light scratching or buzzing sensation. We apply a strong topical numbing cream before the procedure, so discomfort is minimal and well-tolerated.
How long does the procedure take?
The full appointment takes about 45–60 minutes, including time for numbing. The actual microneedling process usually lasts 15–30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
What areas can be treated?
Microneedling is most commonly done on the face, but we can also treat:
Neck and décolleté
Hands
Stretch marks on the stomach, thighs, and hips
Scars on any part of the body
What is the downtime?
You may experience:
Redness or mild swelling for 24–48 hours
A tight, dry, or sandpaper-like feeling for 2–4 days
Light flaking or peeling as your skin renews
Most people return to work or normal activities the next day.
When will I see results?
You’ll likely notice an improvement in your skin’s texture and glow within a few days. Collagen production builds over time, so your skin continues to improve for 4–6 weeks after each session.
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, we typically recommend a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For deeper acne scars or stretch marks, you may need up to 6 treatments. We’ll customize your plan during your consultation.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Many patients combine microneedling with:
PRP/PRF (“Vampire Facial”) for enhanced healing and glow
LED Light Therapy to calm inflammation
Chemical Peels or Botox (timed appropriately) for full-face rejuvenation
We’ll create a personalized treatment plan that fits your skin goals.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Microneedling is generally very safe when performed by a trained provider. Minor side effects may include:
Temporary redness or swelling
Pinpoint bleeding
Light bruising (rare)
Flaking or dry patches
Your provider will review your full medical history to minimize risk.
Who should NOT get microneedling?
You should avoid microneedling if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis in the treatment area
Have a history of keloid scarring
Have open wounds or active skin infections
Have used Accutane in the past 6 months
What should I do before and after microneedling?
Before:
Avoid retinols, acids, and exfoliants for 3–5 days
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners
Stay well hydrated
After:
Use gentle, hydrating skincare
Avoid makeup and intense workouts for 24 hours
Avoid sun exposure and always use SPF
We’ll give you full pre- and post-care instructions to help you glow safely and beautifully.
