How Physician-Supervised Weight Loss Works
- Medical Evaluation: Our weight loss treatment plans begin with a thorough medical evaluation including an InBody body composition scan and optional lab tests to understand each patient’s health risks and goals.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation and results, Vital Living Healthcare designs a customized treatment plan that may include prescription medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections and nutrition counseling.
- Regular Check-Ins: Patients receive ongoing support with regular follow up visits to customize medication dosages, ensuring their treatment remains aligned with their goals and overall wellness, optimizing the effectiveness of the program as their needs evolve.
Types of Weight Loss Medications We Offer
Vital Living Healthcare offers a range of weight loss options to support individualized care, including breakthrough prescription medications for effective, long-term weight management, such as:
Semaglutide GLP-1
Semaglutide, a GLP-1 agonist, aids in weight loss by regulating hunger hormones, leading to reduced calorie intake and improved blood sugar control.
Tirzepatide GIP/GLP-1
Combining GIP and GLP-1 agonist activity, Tirzepatide supports weight loss by enhancing glucose metabolism and reducing cravings, making it a powerful option for patients.
Atlanta Medical Weight Loss FAQs
What is Physician-Supervised Medical Weight Loss?
Physician-supervised weight loss combines medications, lifestyle coaching, and ongoing medical guidance to support safe, effective weight loss. Vital Living Healthcare’s medical weight loss program designs customized treatment plans for each patient based on their individual wellness goals. This includes nutrition, physical activity, and healthy lifestyle counseling. Each plan is personalized to optimize weight loss, long-term wellness and vitality.
What is a Weight Loss / Skinny Shot?
A weight loss shot, such as a semaglutide injection, regulates hormones controlling appetite and blood sugar. This regulation supports healthier eating habits, reducing calorie intake naturally while preserving energy and nutrient balance. Given weekly, these shots can help reduce hunger and cravings and make it easier to maintain a healthy diet.

Supercharge Weight Loss Results with Fat Removal
Smartlipo Laser-Assisted Liposuction
While not a medical weight loss procedure, Smartlipo provides our medical weight loss patients with targeted body contouring to remove stubborn, unwanted fat from areas of the body where they cannot seem to lose with regular diet, exercise, and GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
This minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia, uses laser-generated heat to melt fat and tighten the skin. This added benefit of Smartlipo can help alleviate saggy skin that occurs due to the rapid weight loss from GLP-1 usage.

Sculpsure Non-Invasive Fat Removal
For patients who prefer a non-invasive, non-surgical solution to fat removal, Sculpsure is an ideal complement to weight loss medications for patients with a BMI of 30 or less.
Sculpsure’s laser energy produces enough heat to safely disrupt and destroy fat cells underneath the skin, resulting in up to a 24% reduction in fat cells with each treatment.
Like Smartlipo, the laser energy generated by the SculpSure device also emits heat that stimulates collagen and elastin production, providing the added benefit of visibly firmer skin.
