At Dermatology Center of McKinney, we understand that losing weight is hard. Eating a consistent, balanced diet, finding time to exercise, struggling to get rid of stubborn fat—all of it can feel discouraging. So let us offer some encouragement and treatments that provide real, noticeable weight loss.
Our research-backed, physician-led medical weight loss in Collin County may be the next step in your journey to shed the extra pounds. Using injections that mimic your body’s natural hormones, we can reduce your appetite, hunger cravings, and improve digestion.
Let’s look at who is a candidate for medical weight loss injections at our practice.
How We Determine If You Are a Candidate
When you choose us for your medical weight loss journey, you sit down with Dr. Ralston to discuss your goals. Here, he asks about your current efforts and learns your medical history to see if weight loss injections are safe for you.
Let’s look at a few factors that determine your candidacy.
You Have a BMI of 27 or Higher
Having a BMI of 27 means you are overweight. A BMI above 29 indicates obesity. We can use medical weight loss injections like semaglutide or tirzepatide to help you lose weight in an effort to reach a healthy BMI (18.5-24.9).
You Have Tried Other Weight Loss Efforts
Often, many patients have tried dieting and exercising, sometimes in more ways than one, but find that weight loss does not come easily. This is a very normal situation, as everyone has their own genetic makeups that influence weight loss and gain.
Medical weight loss injections can serve many different types of patients who already have relatively healthy habits in place and can’t lose stubborn weight after their own efforts. Dieting and consistent exercise while on the medication help improve results.
You Have a Weight-Related Condition
Many health conditions affect weight gain. Whether it’s high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, you might feel like your body is working against you as you try to lose weight.
We understand the complexities that come with these conditions, which is why we help patients reach their goal weight with medical weight loss in Collin County.
Schedule Your Consultation to See If You Are a Candidate
Speaking with Dr. Ralston is the best way to determine your candidacy for medical weight loss. He uses a personalized approach to make you feel heard, seen, and valued. Uncover how weight loss injections can help you reach your goals by scheduling a consultation.
