GLP-1's are weekly injections that activates the GIP and/or GLP-1 receptors in the body. These receptors regulate appetite, insulin, and glucagon levels as well as satiety and gastric emptying. GLP-1 injections are given over a 16-20 week time period and the dose of the medication is titrated up as you go. GLP-1 medications are a weight-loss alternative and patients should expect to be committed for at least 3 months. GLP-1 patients can expect to lose anywhere from 12-22% of body weight.

Delayed gastric emptying to feel full longer
Suppress hunger signals in the brain
Enhance insulin secretion and sensitivity
Decrease food intake and glucagon levels
Hormonal imbalance can occur during any stage of life and has a huge impact on weight management. One of the most common treatments for hormonal weight gain is balancing your hormones with hormone replacement therapy. Here at Aesthetica, we offer our patients BioTE hormone pellet therapy. BioTE pellets are naturally derived and they resemble the hormones naturally produced in our own bodies. Call Aesthetica today to schedule your BioTE consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners.

Aesthetica's medical weight loss program starts with a comprehensive, private consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners. During this consultation, your provider will evaluate your medical history, medications you're taking, as well as your goals to then craft a GLP-1 weight loss program uniquely suited for you.

Depending on your medical history or if you're interested in BioTE hormone therapy for weight loss, your Nurse Practitioner may request a lab draw to better evaluate your hormone, glucose, and lipid levels.

During this same consultation, your provider will walk you through any supplements or peptides you may benefit from on your weight loss and health and wellness journey. Additionally, they will walk you through a nutrition and exercise plan to help you get the most out of your weight loss journey and to ensure you're safely losing weight.

At Aesthetica, we believe in curating comprehensive treatment plans with medically guided ongoing support. During your weight loss journey, you may experience changes in your mood, energy, and metabolic health. We're here to help you along the way to not only help you stay on track and make adjustments, but also make sure you're satisfied and happy.
Medical weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, so there isn’t a best overall option for everybody. During your consultation at Aesthetica, one of our experienced Nurse Practitioners will go over your lifestyle, expectations, medical history, and labs and decide with you which option(s) will work best for you.
Patients who are candidates for GLP-1 medical weight loss are those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 27 or have one or more weight related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes or diabetes, and a family history of obesity.
At Aesthetica, we serve medical weight loss treatment to Utah Country patients and beyond.
BioTE pellet therapy and GLP-1 injection prices vary from patient to patient, because our medical weight loss program treatment plans are personalized to cater each patient's individual needs. To get a better estimate of the cost, schedule a consultation by calling or texting us at 801-785-8884.
Each patient will respond differently to both BioTE and GLP-1 medications. There is no definite time set for when patients can expect to see results. Our GLP-1 injection patients begin to notice decreased appetite within weeks, with a steady weight reduction over several months. Ask your Aesthetica Nurse Practitioner during the consultation about what might be a realistic expectation for you.
Most Aesthetica patients are able to maintain their weight loss through our medically-guided program. Our team will work with you through on-going support to help you develop and maintain healthy eating habits and exercise to keep the weight off. This is something we take much pride in and also something that sets us apart from other medical weight loss programs and providers in Utah.
GLP-1 medications are generally safe and effective for weight loss when they are properly prescribed and closely monitored by a qualified healthcare professional.
At Aesthetica, we understand there are online providers offering GLP-1 medications at lower prices. However, it’s important to remember that these are prescription medications that impact the mind, body, and metabolism. Without a thorough medical consultation and ongoing clinical support, patients may experience unwanted—and sometimes serious—side effects.
Our providers take a personalized, medically-guided approach to ensure your treatment is safe, effective, and aligned with your overall health goals.

No, neither treatment is covered through insurance, so we cannot run BioTE nor GLP-1 medications through any insurance plan. However, at Aesthetica we do accept HSA cards and we do offer payment plan options through Cherry and CareCredit.
