GLP-1 Medications

GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are non-surgical options that work by regulating appetite and digestion. They are administered as once-weekly injections when prescribed by a licensed provider. A prescription is never guaranteed.

Telehealth Programs

Telehealth lets you meet with a provider by phone or video and receive medication shipped to your door. This is a non-surgical, convenient option. Clinical eligibility is still required, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Lifestyle Support

Many non-surgical programs include nutrition guidance, progress tracking, and check-ins. These supports complement but do not replace clinical care. Individual needs and results vary.

What Non-Surgical Does Not Mean

Non-surgical does not mean guaranteed. A licensed provider determines whether treatment is clinically appropriate. No specific amount of weight loss, prescription, or outcome is guaranteed.
