Why Medical Weight Loss?

It's Not Just About Calories, It's About Biology

Scientific Approach

Treating obesity as a chronic medical disease requiring medical intervention.

Safety First

Regular blood work and monitoring by Dr. Jiang's medical team.

Holistic Synergy

Integrated with aesthetic treatments to tighten skin as you lose weight.

FAQ

Common Questions

Generally, candidates have a BMI of 30+ (obesity) or 27+ (overweight) with a weight-related health condition (like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes). Dr. Jiang will make the final determination based on your medical history.

Common side effects include nausea, digestive discomfort, or fatigue, especially when starting. We start with a low dose and titrate slowly to minimize these effects. Most side effects subside as your body adjusts.

Obesity is a chronic condition. While medication helps you lose weight, maintaining it requires long-term lifestyle changes. Our program focuses on building these habits so you can sustain your results.

Costs include a consultation fee and the cost of the medication (which varies by pharmacy and dosage). Some private insurance plans may cover the medication depending on your specific policy and diagnosis.

Rapid weight loss can lead to loose skin. RAAC is unique in offering Thermage FLX and Ultherapy, which can be scheduled alongside your weight loss journey to keep skin tight and firm.
