Medically Guided and Integrated Weight Loss Program
Personalized, Evidence-Based Treatment Led by Licensed Medical Providers
Our comprehensive weight loss program is designed to promote gradual, sustainable results while enhancing your overall health, energy, and appearance. We use dual GLP-1/GIP agonists as part of a fully customized plan. Each protocol is tailored to preserve muscle mass, support healthy nutrition, enhance natural aesthetics results, and guide long-term lifestyle change—so your results last well beyond the treatment phase.
Understanding Weight Loss Medications
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. It works by mimicking naturally occurring gut hormones that regulate appetite, blood glucose, and metabolism. These agents signal satiety to the brain, curb hunger, and slow gastric emptying—helping you feel full longer and reduce caloric intake with ease.

Your Weight Loss Journey with DTC Dermatology
What to Expect: Step-by-Step Overview
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with an experienced medical provider. We’ll conduct a thorough review of your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. During this visit, we’ll explain how GLP-1 agonists work, review side effects, and discuss how this treatment aligns with your overall medical conditions and prescription medications. We will obtain baseline weight and measurements.
Comprehensive Bloodwork
Standard fasting bloodwork is included in your initial consultation at no additional cost. Your lab results are processed at a certified laboratory and reviewed by your provider.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your health profile and goals, we will create a customized treatment plan. This plan will include guidance on nutrition, lifestyle and physical activity to help maximize your results and support long-term success.
Weekly Injections
Tirzepatide is administered once weekly. You may choose to have your injections done in-office, or we can provide instructions and video resources for self-administration at home, depending on your preference.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Your progress matters to us. You will have monthly check-ins with us to monitor your weight loss, evaluate how you’re tolerating the medication, manage any side effects, and adjust your dosage as needed. We will also provide ongoing nutritional and lifestyle recommendations as needed.
What to Expect from the Injection
The injection is minimally painful. Most patients experience only mild gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, constipation, or bloating—symptoms that generally improve as the body adjusts to treatment.
Recovery & Results
Treatment with GLP-1 agonists is an outpatient treatment with no downtime. Most patients resume normal activities immediately after their injections. You can expect gradual, sustained weight loss over the course of several weeks to months. Visible results often become noticeable between 1-3 months of consistent use. Long-term success is supported by pairing the medication with healthy lifestyle changes—which our providers will help you integrate into your daily routine.
