GLP-1 Weight Loss ConsultationLincoln Park, Chicago
Better Med Spa’s Weight Loss Consultation is a physician-led visit focused on GLP-1–based therapies like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and advanced agents such as Retatrutide once regulations allow. During this session, your provider reviews your history, medications, BMI, and goals, orders labs if needed, and outlines a personalized plan that includes medication options, dosing strategy, nutrition, exercise, and follow-ups.
Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
You’ll sit down with a Better Med Spa provider to review your medical history, medications, weight journey, lifestyle, and goals, then undergo a focused exam and, when indicated, lab work such as glucose, HbA1c, kidney function, and lipids. From there, your clinician explains GLP-1 and GIP options—Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and any advanced agents offered—then recommends a customized plan that includes dosing, follow-up schedule, and lifestyle support.
What’s the difference between Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide?
Are compounded or non-FDA GLP-1s discussed?
How does this consultation connect with other Better Med Spa services?
How It Works
During your Weight Loss Consultation, the Better Med Spa team takes a detailed history, reviews prior weight loss attempts, screens for contraindications (such as certain thyroid cancers, MEN-2, pancreatitis history, or uncontrolled GI disease), and checks BMI and obesity-related risk factors. Labs such as glucose/HbA1c, kidney function, and lipids may be ordered to guide safe GLP-1 prescribing. Your provider then discusses GLP-1 and GIP options—Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and where legally compliant, advanced agents like Retatrutide—explaining benefits, risks (including FDA concerns with unapproved or compounded products), and the structure of your dosing, monitoring, and lifestyle support plan.
What It Targets
Our GLP-1 weight loss consultation is designed to address:
- Adults struggling with overweight or obesity who want a structured, medical approach instead of another DIY diet.
- Clients curious about GLP-1 options (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, possible future/advanced agents) who need clear, personalized guidance—not social media advice.
- Individuals with weight-related concerns such as elevated blood pressure, cholesterol, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes who may benefit from metabolic support.
- People who have plateaued with nutrition and exercise alone and want help selecting the right medication, dose, and plan.
- Clients unsure if they qualify for GLP-1 therapy or whether brand-name, generic, or compounded options are safest and most appropriate.
- Those who value a holistic journey—combining medication with coaching, habit change, and aesthetic treatments to match inner health with outer confidence.
Benefits
Our weight loss consultation is believed to offer a multitude of benefits:
- E-led, structured evaluation instead of “one-size-fits-all” prescribing, improving safety and outcomes.
- Clear education on the differences between Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and next-generation agents like Retatrutide, including expected results, side effects, and regulatory status.
- Comprehensive screening for contraindications and risk factors, with labs and documentation aligned to current GLP-1 guidelines and best practices.
- Personalized dosing roadmap and titration schedule, plus a monitoring cadence (check-ins every few weeks, then monthly) to adjust medication and manage side effects.
- Integration with nutrition, movement, and behavior strategies for sustainable weight maintenance instead of rebound weight gain.
- Guidance around FDA alerts, unapproved or compounded GLP-1s, and quality sourcing so clients can make informed choices and avoid risky online products.
- Opportunity to bundle consultation and care into Better Med Spa memberships, pairing medical weight loss with facials, body-contouring, and automated follow-ups for a high-touch, high-value experience.

Past Client Experiences
"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"
"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."
"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"
"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"

"Grace did a fantastic job. I don't have anything to compare it with, but the full service felt amazing. I was surprised by the number of steps included and how involved it ended up being. Head massage, facial massage, neck and shoulder massage, forearm and hand massage, all while working through multiple steps of the facial cleanse and treatment process. It was great. I'll be back again."
