Weight Loss, Redefined: A Medical Approach That Lasts

Medical weight loss has evolved. What was once framed as extreme dieting or short-term fixes has shifted toward a more thoughtful, science-backed approach. One that prioritizes metabolic health, sustainability, and individualized care. At Scrubd Esthetics, our philosophy mirrors our aesthetic treatments: intention matters. Our weight loss program is designed to support your body, not fight it, using medical expertise and personalized guidance.

✨ Kickstart your weight loss journey with our New Year Metabolic Reset promo. This month complete a consultation, using code NEWYOU99 and receive a $99 credit toward your first month.

This guide is for anyone who wants to understand how medical weight loss works, how GLP-1/GIP injections actually work, and what to expect when weight loss is approached as a long-term investment in health, not a quick fix.

What Are GLP-1/GIP Weight Loss Injections?

Our medical weight loss program utilizes Tirzepatide, a once-weekly injectable prescription medication that may help adults with obesity or excess weight lose weight and maintain results over time. Rather than relying on restriction alone, Tirzepatide works with your body’s natural hormone pathways to support appetite regulation and metabolic function.

Tirzepatide activates two key hormone receptors involved in weight regulation:

  • GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) - Helps regulate appetite and satiety by signaling fullness to the brain, leading to reduced hunger, better portion control, and fewer cravings.
  • GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) - Supports metabolic efficiency and fat regulation. Helps reduce the “food noise” and cravings. When paired with GLP-1, it helps improve energy balance, fat loss, and overall metabolic health.

By targeting both pathways, Tirzepatide offers a more comprehensive approach to medical weight loss than traditional methods. Many patients notice reduced appetite, better portion control, and improved awareness of eating habits, which supports steady, gradual weight loss that feels natural and sustainable rather than restrictive or forced.

This dual-hormone approach encourages weight loss to occur consistently over time, helping patients achieve meaningful, long-term results instead of temporary or short-term fixes. It supports metabolic health, reinforces healthy habits, and provides a foundation for ongoing success beyond the initial treatment period.

A Personalized, Whole-Body Approach

At Scrubd Esthetics, injections are just one piece of the weight loss journey. We recognize that every patient’s experience is unique, which is why our program is tailored to your individual goals, lifestyle, and medical history. Weight loss isn’t one-size-fits-all, and our approach reflects that.

Our comprehensive program includes:

  • Medical oversight by trained professionals - Each patient is monitored to ensure safety, efficacy, and a plan that aligns with their health needs.

  • Individualized dosing based on your response - Your treatment is adjusted as your body responds, optimizing results while minimizing side effects.

  • Nutritional guidance to support results - Alongside injections, we provide expert advice on nutritional habits that reinforce sustainable weight loss.

  • Ongoing check-ins and accountability - Regular follow-ups allow us to celebrate progress, make adjustments, and keep you motivated throughout your journey.

By combining these elements, we focus on sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health, and long-term success. This thoughtful, holistic approach helps patients achieve goals that last beyond the initial treatment period, supporting both physical transformation and lifestyle change.

What to Expect From the Program

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we review your medical history, discuss your personal goals, and determine if GLP-1/GIP therapy is the right approach for you. This appointment is your opportunity to ask questions, understand the treatment, and create a plan that fits your lifestyle.

From there, patients can expect:

  • Injections guided by trained professionals - Your first dose is administered by a medical professional to ensure proper technique and safety, with clear instruction so patients can manage subsequent weekly injections at home with confidence.

  • Regular progress monitoring and adjustments - We track results, monitor your response, and make any necessary adjustments to optimize outcomes.

  • Ongoing support throughout treatment - Our team provides guidance, encouragement, and education to help you stay motivated and informed at every stage.

Many patients notice reduced appetite and improved awareness of portion sizes within the first few weeks. Over time, this leads to gradual, consistent weight loss that feels natural and sustainable. Rather than rapid or temporary results, the program is designed to support long-term lifestyle changes, helping you achieve a healthier, more confident version of yourself.

Is This a Quick Fix?

No, and that’s intentional. Medical weight loss works best when approached as a lifestyle shift, not a temporary or restrictive solution. Our program is designed to do more than just help you lose pounds. 

It supports:

  • Lasting behavioral changes

  • Improved metabolic health

  • Sustainable weight management

Unlike fad diets or crash programs, our approach emphasizes gradual, steady progress that integrates into your everyday life. By combining medical expertise, personalized guidance, and ongoing support, patients are empowered to make choices that create long-term results, not short-term fluctuations.

Our role is to guide, monitor, and support you every step of the way. From your first consultation to each injection and follow-up, we provide education, accountability, and tailored adjustments. This ensures your weight loss journey is safe, manageable, and built to last, helping you feel confident and in control of your health.

Who Is Medical Weight Loss Best For?

Our medical weight loss program is designed for individuals who are ready to take a thoughtful, science-backed approach to their health and wellness. It’s ideal for anyone looking for structured support, personalized guidance, and results that last.

 This program may be a good fit if you:

  • Have struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise

  • Feel stuck at a weight-loss plateau

  • Want medically guided support and accountability

  • Are seeking a sustainable, wellness-focused approach

All new patients are required to complete a consultation before beginning treatment. This ensures safety, establishes personalized goals, and creates a plan tailored to your health, lifestyle, and weight loss objectives.

At Scrubd Esthetics, we prioritize not just the results, but the journey itself, helping you achieve success in a safe, informed, and supported way while building habits that last well beyond the program.
