Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss is a personalized, medically supervised approach to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss is guided by licensed healthcare providers who use evidence-based methods tailored to your individual health profile, goals, and lifestyle.
​
At Luxe Med Spa, our medical weight loss programs may include:
-
Clinical assessment of your health, lifestyle, and weight history
-
Prescription medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, Phentermine and oral prescription medications.
-
Nutrition and exercise guidance tailored to your needs
-
Ongoing support and monitoring to ensure safety and long-term success​
​
Medical weight loss is ideal for individuals who have struggled with weight management and want a safe, sustainable solution under professional care.
Phentermine Weight Loss Program
​
Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription medication used as part of a medically supervised weight loss program. It works as an appetite suppressant, stimulating the central nervous system to reduce hunger and increase energy expenditure.
​
At Luxe Med Spa, phentermine may be prescribed for short-term use in combination with a comprehensive weight loss plan that includes:
-
Medical evaluation and monitoring
-
Customized diet and activity recommendations
-
Behavioral support and lifestyle counseling
​
Phentermine is typically intended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as hypertension or diabetes. It is not a standalone solution, but rather a tool to support healthy weight loss when used under the guidance of a licensed provider.
Bella Weight Loss Program
​
These are compounded prescription capsules formulated to support weight loss through a combination of medications. They are typically prescribed as part of a medically supervised weight loss program. The exact formulation can vary, but common ingredients include:
​
-
Bupropion HCl: An antidepressant that may help reduce appetite and cravings.
-
Phentermine HCl: An appetite suppressant that stimulates the central nervous system.
-
Topiramate: Originally used to treat seizures, it may help with weight loss by promoting a feeling of fullness.
-
Naltrexone HCl: Used to manage alcohol or opioid dependence, it may also reduce food cravings.
-
Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12): Supports energy metabolism
​
These capsules are available in various formulations, such as Bella 1, Bella 2, Bella 3, etc., each with specific dosages tailored to individual needs. They are available through compounding pharmacies and require a prescription.
Metformin For Weight Loss & Metabolic Resistance
​
Metformin is a prescription medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, but it is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss, especially in individuals who are overweight or have insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or prediabetes.
​
How Metformin may support weight loss:
-
Improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use glucose more effectively
-
Reduces appetite and cravings, especially for carbohydrates
-
Decreases fat storage by lowering circulating insulin levels
-
May reduce inflammation and improve metabolic function
​
Metformin may be incorporated into a customized medical weight loss plan under the supervision of a licensed provider. It is typically combined with lifestyle changes such as:
​
-
A balanced, low-glycemic diet
-
Regular physical activity
-
Ongoing progress monitoring and support
​
Metformin is not a stimulant and generally has a low risk of causing low blood sugar when used alone. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset (e.g., nausea, diarrhea), which usually improve with time or dose adjustments.
