We understand the battle of losing weight, especially when you’re dealing with all the things life throws your way. If you feel like you have made an effort to lose weight, but don’t see the results, it could be time to look into support from a weight loss clinic in McKinney.
Dr. James Ralston, MD, FAAD, and the team at Dermatology Center of McKinney help patients achieve sustainable weight loss through tailored weight loss plans and/or medications. Let’s take a look at our process and how we get started with your care plan.
Initial Consultation
To begin your weight loss journey, you sit down with Dr. Ralston to discuss your weight loss goals. He takes the time to understand you as the patient, including your lifestyle and concerns.
He also makes sure to ask about your medical history. This allows him to confirm that weight loss injections are safe for you. Once you and Dr. Ralston feel comfortable about treatment, he begins crafting your unique weight loss plan.
Weight Loss Injections
For many patients, Dr. Ralston prescribes a weekly semaglutide weight loss injection. We explain how to administer the injections at home—including how to switch injection sites, how to store the medication, and more—so you don’t have to make time to come into the office each week.
The dosage of semaglutide depends on your starting point and unique goals. Often, Dr. Ralston prescribes a low starting dose and makes changes as necessary.
Results and Maintenance
Throughout your entire weight loss program, our team is available to you for any questions or concerns that may arise. We guide you through this journey with the empowerment and respect you deserve. Our experts help you create healthy habits and prioritize physical activity to support and maintain weight loss.
As long as patients stay on semaglutide, they can continue to see a weight reduction. If you wish to stop using the medication, Dr. Ralston can create an off-ramping plan.
Additionally, once you start to lose weight, we can begin pairing our other services, like body sculpting or CoolSculpting, to enhance your transformation.
