What Contributes to Stubborn Weight?

Weight is influenced by a complex combination of factors, including metabolism, hormones, genetics, and lifestyle habits, which is why diet and exercise alone don't always produce lasting results for everyone.

  • Why Medical Support Can Help: Certain hormonal and metabolic factors can make it especially difficult to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone, even with consistent effort. Medically supervised treatments can help regulate appetite, support metabolism, and address underlying factors that lifestyle changes alone may not fully resolve.
  • Stubborn Areas That Don't Respond to Weight Loss: Even after reaching a healthy weight, many patients are left with stubborn pockets of fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs that don't respond well to diet and exercise, often due to genetics rather than overall body weight.

Treatments for Weight Loss

Our practice offers a range of medically supervised and non-surgical treatments to support your weight loss goals.

Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight loss program combines physician oversight with the latest medications and personalized lifestyle guidance to support sustainable, meaningful results. Your provider will evaluate your health history and goals to determine a safe, effective plan tailored specifically to you, with regular monitoring throughout your progress.

Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo combines muscle stimulation with fat reduction technology to improve tone and reduce stubborn fat in areas that resist diet and exercise. This treatment is often used by patients who are already at or near their goal weight and want to refine specific areas like the abdomen or flanks.

“I had my first HydraFacial treatment here and it was wonderful! Nyaz was kind, patient, and just lovely. She explained everything well and made sure I was getting the absolute best experience. My face has never felt so smooth and looked so refreshed. 10/10 would recommend!”

Are You a Candidate for Weight Loss Treatment?

Good candidates for medical weight loss are patients who have struggled to achieve their goals through diet and exercise alone and want additional medical support and accountability.

Candidates for Emsculpt Neo are typically closer to their target weight but want to address stubborn fat or improve muscle tone in specific areas. Dr. Walker's team will evaluate your health history and goals during your consultation to determine which treatment, or combination of treatments, is right for you.

What to Expect During Your Weight Loss Journey

Your weight loss journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which your provider reviews your health history, current habits, and goals.

Ongoing Medical Support

For patients pursuing medical weight loss, this typically includes regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust your plan as needed, and ensure you are losing weight safely and sustainably.

Body Contouring as You Reach Your Goals

As you approach your goal weight, treatments like Emsculpt Neo can be introduced to help refine stubborn areas and improve overall muscle tone and definition.

Results to Expect From Weight Loss Treatment

Results from medical weight loss build gradually over the course of your treatment plan, with most patients seeing steady, sustainable progress rather than rapid, short-term change. Emsculpt Neo results typically become visible after a series of sessions, with continued improvement in muscle tone and fat reduction over the following weeks.

What Happens After Reaching Your Goal Weight?

Many patients who lose significant weight are left with loose or excess skin that non-surgical treatments cannot fully address. In these cases, Dr. Walker may recommend surgical body contouring procedures, such as a tummy tuck or body lift, once your weight has stabilized, to achieve your final desired result.

Weight Loss Frequently Asked Questions

What medications are used in medical weight loss programs?

Our program may include the latest FDA-approved weight loss medications, selected and monitored by your provider based on your individual health history and goals.

Is medical weight loss safe?

Yes, our program is physician-supervised, with regular monitoring to ensure your plan is both safe and effective throughout your treatment.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary based on your starting point, health history, and adherence to your personalized plan. Your provider will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.

Does insurance cover medical weight loss treatment?

Coverage varies by provider and plan. Our team can help you understand your options, including available financing for treatments not covered by insurance.

Can Emsculpt Neo help me lose weight?

Emsculpt Neo is designed to reduce stubborn fat and build muscle in specific areas, rather than serve as a primary weight loss method. It works best as a complement to an established weight loss plan.

When should I consider surgical body contouring instead of these treatments?

If you are left with loose or excess skin after reaching your goal weight, a surgical option like a tummy tuck or body lift may be a better fit than non-surgical treatments alone.
