Frequently Asked Questions

Medical Weight Loss

How much weight will I lose?

Most patients lose 15-20% of their body weight over 6-12 months with GLP-1. Results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and lifestyle factors.

Is GLP-1 safe?

Yes. Semaglutide is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied. All patients are supervised by licensed physicians.

What are the side effects?

Most common: mild nausea, constipation, or diarrhea (usually temporary). Your physician will monitor you closely.

Do I need to diet and exercise?

GLP-1 significantly reduces appetite, making healthy eating easier. Light exercise improves results but isn’t required.

How long do I stay on GLP-1?

Most patients use it for 6-12 months. Some continue longer for maintenance.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. We’re month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

Body Sculpting

Does EMShape really work?

Yes. Clinical studies show 16% average muscle gain and 19% fat reduction after 4 sessions.

Is it painful?

No. You’ll feel intense muscle contractions but it’s not painful. Most describe it as an intense workout sensation.

How is EMShape different from CoolSculpting?

CoolSculpting only reduces fat. EMShape builds muscle AND burns fat simultaneously.

Can I do EMShape while on GLP-1?

Yes! The combination is highly effective for complete body transformation.

How long do results last?

Results are long-lasting with proper diet and exercise. Maintenance sessions every 3-6 months recommended.
