At Wyndhurst Aesthetics, we offer medical weight loss solutions for patients who want more structure and support in their health journey. Our physician-led program uses prescription weight loss injections to help reduce appetite, regulate metabolism, and promote gradual, sustainable weight loss, without surgery or downtime.
What Are Prescription Weight Loss Injections?
Prescription weight loss injections are a type of GLP-1 medication designed to help regulate appetite and improve how your body processes food. These injections can support your efforts to make lasting changes to your diet and activity levels by working with your body’s natural signals for hunger and fullness.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all care. This treatment is part of a larger medical weight management program built around your health history, goals, and preferences.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
We typically recommend these injections for adults with:
- A body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition like high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol
- A BMI of 30 or more with or without other health concerns
Before starting any treatment, we conduct a full medical screening. This includes a review of your health history, current medications, and any lifestyle habits that may affect your results. We’ll also discuss whether other options—like hormone therapy or vitamin supplements—could support your progress.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your consultation is a chance for us to get to know you, not just your weight, but your overall health and daily life. We’ll walk through:
- Your medical background
- Any lab work that might be helpful
- Eating and activity patterns
- What you hope to achieve, and at what pace
This helps us build a care plan that fits your needs and expectations. Everything is supervised by Dr. Craig J. Petry and our trained team.
How Weekly Injections Work
Once we’ve determined this treatment is right for you, you’ll receive weekly injections. These are administered subcutaneously (under the skin) at our clinic or at home, whichever we decide together makes the most sense for you.
As part of your program, we’ll check in regularly to:
- Track your progress
- Adjust the dosage if needed
- Discuss how you’re feeling, eating, and sleeping
- Provide practical support for any side effects

What Are the Benefits?
Our patients choose this treatment because it offers:
- A non-surgical, low-maintenance approach
- Weekly support and medical oversight
- Help managing hunger and portion control
- No downtime or recovery
- A solid foundation backed by clinical research
This option works best when combined with lifestyle changes. If you’re looking for structure and accountability, it may be a strong fit.
When to Expect Results
Most patients notice changes in appetite or energy within the first few weeks. Visible changes on the scale often appear after six to eight weeks, depending on your consistency and overall health.
We’ll discuss what realistic progress might look like in your case. Some patients combine injections with treatments like CoolSculpting or SmartLipo to target specific areas of fat.
What Does It Cost?
The cost of prescription weight loss injections varies depending on your treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll explain:
- How long your program might last
- What’s included in your care
- Whether insurance or HSA/FSA funds can help
- Our available financing options
We want you to have all the facts before you make a decision. Ready to get started? Book a consultation today.

FAQs About Medical Weight Loss
How long will I be on the injections?
It depends. Some patients stay on the medication for several months; others longer. We’ll check in regularly to reassess.
Will I regain weight after stopping?
It’s possible, especially without lasting changes to diet and activity. We help you build habits during treatment to support long-term results.
Is this similar to other non-surgical treatments?
This treatment affects how your body regulates hunger. It’s different from options like CoolSculpting for Men, which focus on fat reduction in specific areas.
What does it do to metabolism?
These medications help regulate insulin and slow digestion, which can lead to better appetite control and improved energy balance.
Can I combine it with other therapies?
Yes. Depending on their lab results and goals, many of our patients combine this treatment with IV nutrient therapy or hormone support.
