Weight Management
Our 901 Skin MD Center help in losing weight if your own efforts have failed or if you have other medical conditions that make it crucial for you to lose weight. We are provides the following weight loss medical treatments:
Oral Weight Loss Medications:
Plenity is a unique nonsurgical device for weight management in overweight and obese adults (tested on participants with a body mass index of 27 to 40 kg per m2). Plenity is available in capsule form, but it is not considered a drug because it is not absorbed by the body. Rather, the hydro-gel capsule releases gel particles containing cellulose and citric acid that absorb water in the stomach and small intestine, expanding significantly in size. This action works to create increased bulk, thus signaling satiety.
Injectable Weight Loss Medications:
Semaglutide is the first once-weekly medication (injection) in its class that’s FDA-approved to help with chronic weight management in adults when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. GLP-1 (semaglutide) help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin release and blocking sugar production. It also slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach (called gastric emptying). The result of these actions causes you to feel full — lowering your appetite and causing you to lose weight.
