Appetite suppressants are prescription medications that help reduce hunger and cravings, making it easier to follow a reduced-calorie diet. They work by affecting the neurotransmitters in your brain that control appetite.

When prescribed by a physician and combined with lifestyle changes, FDA-approved weight loss medications can be very effective. Our doctors will determine which medications, if any, are right for your specific situation.

No. Our programs focus on teaching you how to make healthy choices with regular grocery store foods. We provide nutritional guidance and meal planning support to help you succeed without expensive specialty foods.

The timing of appetite suppressants depends on the specific medication prescribed. Your physician will provide detailed instructions on when and how to take your medications for optimal results.

Appetite suppressants should be taken as prescribed by your physician. Taking them sporadically can reduce their effectiveness and may not provide the consistent support needed for successful weight loss.

The duration of appetite suppressant use varies based on your individual progress and health factors. Your physician will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Depending on how long you have been away from the program, some testing may need to be repeated to ensure your current health status. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

B12 injections are administered with a very thin needle and most patients report minimal discomfort. The injection takes only seconds and any discomfort is brief.

The effects of B12 injections typically last about one week. Many patients come in weekly for their injections to maintain consistent energy levels.

We offer three exclusive B12 formulations: B12 Methyl-Renew (fast-acting, 2x strength), B12 Lipo-Energy (3x strength with fat-burning lipotropics), and B12 Dual-MAX (our most powerful 4x strength dual-action formula). Your physician will recommend the best option based on your health goals and needs.

In most cases, B12 injections are administered at our clinics by trained medical staff. This ensures proper technique and allows us to monitor your response to treatment.

Injections deliver B12 directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This results in better absorption, especially for those with digestive issues or B12 deficiencies.

B12 injections can boost energy levels, improve metabolism, support healthy nerve function, enhance mood, and aid in weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Yes, Liposonix is FDA-cleared and has been proven safe and effective in clinical studies. The treatment targets only fat cells, leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.

Yes, the fat cells destroyed by Liposonix are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining results requires a healthy lifestyle to prevent remaining fat cells from enlarging.

During treatment, you may feel deep warmth, tingling, or a prickling sensation. Some patients experience mild discomfort, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.

A typical Liposonix treatment takes about one hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after.

Your doctor will evaluate your body composition, health history, and goals to determine if Liposonix is appropriate. Ideal candidates have pinchable fat in the treatment area.

Unlike surgical procedures, Liposonix is non-invasive with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Unlike some other treatments, results are typically visible after just one session.

Liposonix is best for patients who are close to their ideal weight but have stubborn fat deposits. It is not a weight loss treatment or suitable for those with significant obesity.
