Weight Loss

Call either office today to schedule a weight loss consultation or book an appointment online on this website. 

What is weight loss? 

Many people consider weight loss one of their top personal goals, but reducing body fat and keeping it off for good can be more challenging than you might expect. With weight loss services at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness, you can stay on track toward your goals and do it in a healthy way. 

While everyone needs at least some body fat for insulation and energy storage, too much can negatively affect your health. Medical weight loss can reduce your risk of:

• Type 2 diabetes
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Heart disease 
• Heart attack
• Heart failure
• Stroke
• Certain types of cancer
• Arthritic pain
• Erectile dysfunction

If you’re considering losing weight or have already tried to do so without reaching your goals, the team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness is happy to work with you on developing and following an individualized weight loss plan that prioritizes your health and wellness. 

When should I consider weight loss?

Weight loss is not something that everyone should consider. The team at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness welcomes you in for a detailed consultation where they evaluate your health and discuss your weight loss goals.

You might be a candidate for weight loss services if your body mass index (BMI) indicates that you’re overweight or obese. They calculate your BMI using your height and weight and can also measure your body fat content with body composition analysis to determine if your high BMI is due to fat or muscle. 

You’re also a candidate for medical weight loss services if you already have health conditions associated with your weight. 

How does weight loss work?

Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness offers multiple strategies to help you burn fat while meeting your body’s nutritional needs. You might not lose weight rapidly, but you can expect long-term results because they prioritize your well-being and don’t rely on easy tricks or quick fixes. 

Your medical weight loss plan might include:

• Nutritional guidance
• Exercise recommendations
• Nutritional supplements
• Appetite-suppressing medications
• Habit changes (e.g., sleep, substance use)
• B12 or LipoLean® injections

Many of the changes you make with medical weight loss are meant to be permanent in your life, so you should be ready to transform some of your habits for the foreseeable future.
