Medical Weight Loss — GLP-1 Therapy

Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes a detailed health history, metabolic assessment, and baseline lab work. Medication is administered through a simple weekly self-injection that most patients find quick and comfortable. A training session at your first appointment ensures confidence with self-administration.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly — typically every four to six weeks — to monitor progress, adjust dosing, and maintain accountability. Most patients begin noticing meaningful changes in appetite and body composition within the first four to eight weeks. Progress continues over months, with most patients reaching their primary weight goals between three and twelve months depending on their starting point and target.

Medical weight loss is appropriate for adults who have struggled with weight despite genuine lifestyle effort, and for those who recognize that their weight is affecting their health, energy, and quality of life in ways that require clinical support to address. It is particularly appropriate for patients with metabolic resistance — where body composition responds poorly to caloric restriction and exercise alone — and for patients with co-existing hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, or elevated inflammatory markers.

It is also a meaningful option for patients managing the facial volume effects of GLP-1 therapy — a common and important aesthetic consideration that Veritas addresses through its integrated medical and aesthetic care model.

Weight loss is often the beginning of a larger transformation. Many patients who achieve their metabolic goals with GLP-1 therapy become interested in body contouring, skin quality, and aesthetic treatments as their bodies change. Veritas is built for this integrated journey — and your care plan can evolve with you as your goals shift.
