Medical Weight Loss Program
The FDA has approved a new class of injectable treatments designed to support weight loss in adults. These medical weight loss injections work by helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing feelings of hunger. As a result, it’s easier to manage cravings and avoid overeating.
