The Science Behind Sustainable Weight Loss
The only way to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit—burning more calories than you consume. That means you need to reduce your caloric intake and/or increase your physical activity to lose weight, but we recognize that’s easier said than done. Beyond the time commitment, your genetics and hormones can interfere with your progress.
At JK Med Spa, our physician-led team offers GLP-1 medications. These injectable medications work by regulating your appetite, mimicking the GLP-1 hormone in your body, so you can feel more satisfied consuming less food.
That said, food is not the enemy. We use these medications to help you reclaim control over your cravings and establish a healthy relationship with food. With our professional guidance and support, you can accomplish more than weight loss—you can gain strength, physically and emotionally.

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss
When administered by a trained professional, yes. At JK Med Spa, we only offer FDA-approved GLP-1 medications. These formulas are backed by clinical studies, and when used correctly, can improve your long-term well-being.
Uniquely, a licensed physician leads our team and verifies that every treatment adheres to our excellent standard of care and medical best practices. We administer each weekly injection in our office, so you don’t have to worry about injecting yourself at home. Our providers also closely track your progress at every visit, adjusting your plan to keep you on track and feeling confident throughout your entire journey—not just in your end results.
No GLP-1 is universally better than the other, but we’ll help you determine which works best for you during your consultation. Both FDA-approved medications require weekly injections to manage your cravings, but they work a bit differently. We’ll consider your medical history, lifestyle, and any other unique needs to help you make an informed decision, so you don’t have to navigate your journey alone.
Everyone’s body responds differently to medication, and your diet and exercise habits also play a large role in determining your timeline. That being said, most of our patients start losing weight within a few weeks, but the process is gradual. GLP-1s help you to lose weight faster than through diet and exercise alone, but they still take time.
Medical weight loss relies on medications like GLP-1s to regulate your appetite, helping you lose a significant amount of weight and lower your body mass index (BMI). On the other hand, body contouring targets specific areas of fat, melting fat cells so your body can flush them out. Some of our body contouring technologies also stimulate muscle contractions, exercising for you to increase your physical strength and muscle tone.
Body contouring is not a weight loss treatment, but a spot treatment for individuals who are already close to their ideal weight. That being said, we may recommend including body contouring treatments in your weight loss plan to help you simultaneously build muscle, tighten loose skin, or target more stubborn fat deposits.
