Medical Weight Loss in St. Louis | Town & Country, MO

Medical Weight Loss

At ELEV8 Aesthetics, we offer medical weight loss consultations for patients who want a more structured, supported approach. When appropriate, your provider may discuss compounded GLP-1 medications* as part of a personalized weight management plan.

Weight loss is not a willpower problem. 

Instead of guessing your way through another diet, you can work with a provider who helps you evaluate what kind of support makes sense for your body.

A structured weight management plan can help you feel in control of your appetite, build consistent routines, and sustain progress that lasts beyond the initial phase of weight loss.

*Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.

When Medication Makes Sense

Your provider will determine whether prescription-based weight management support is appropriate after completing a medical evaluation.

Some patients may be candidates for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide as part of a personalized weight management plan. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

If medication is appropriate for you, your provider will explain how it works, what to expect, possible side effects, and how it fits into your broader weight management plan.

Medical Weight Loss Program

01.

You start with an initial consultation with your ELEV8 medical provider, either virtually or in person. She will review your goals, medical history, current medications, and whether prescription-based support may be appropriate for you.

02.

If you are an appropriate candidate for medication, you will meet with our prescribing PA through telehealth to confirm medication fit and ask questions. If prescribed, your medication usually arrives about a week later.

03.

You will continue checking in with your ELEV8 provider every two months until you reach your goals. These visits help us monitor your progress, talk through side effects, make adjustments, and ensure your journey is healthy and sustainable.

As you lose weight, your face may change, too.

Weight loss can make the face look slimmer, but it can also create hollowing or reveal skin laxity.

You deserve to feel good in your body and still recognize yourself in the mirror. Let’s plan ahead so your face feels as supported as your body.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every patient responds differently. Your results depend on your health history, treatment plan, nutrition, movement, protein intake, hydration, consistency, and how your body responds to treatment. At ELEV8, we prefer a low-and-slow approach that supports sustainable weight management rather than rapid, aggressive weight loss.

Semaglutide works on the GLP-1 receptor, which helps regulate appetite, fullness, blood sugar, and how quickly food leaves the stomach. Tirzepatide works on both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, so some patients notice stronger appetite control, less food noise, or more weight loss response. However, patient experiences vary and both can be effective tools for weight loss.

Compounded medications are prepared by a compounding pharmacy based on a prescription from a medical provider. They are not the same as brand-name medications and do not go through the same FDA approval process. Because dosing, concentration, side effects, and medication quality can vary, your provider needs to review your health history, start with an appropriate dose, and monitor how your body responds.

You may be a candidate for prescription-based weight management support if you have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, especially if hormonal changes, a busy lifestyle, or long-term weight gain have made progress harder. Your provider may discuss GLP-1 options if they are appropriate for your health history and goals. You may not be a good candidate if your medical history, current medications, pregnancy status, or certain health conditions make treatment unsafe for you. That is why we always conduct a medical review before recommending a weight loss or weight management plan.

Yes. GLP-1 medication can be a helpful part of a weight management plan, but it does not replace the basics. You will still need to eat enough protein, stay hydrated, move your body, and build healthy habits you can maintain long term.

It can. Weight loss can make the face look slimmer, but patients often also notice hollowing, skin laxity, skin sagging, or a more tired overall appearance due to changes in fat volume and structural support. At ELEV8, we discuss these changes early so you can plan for facial support alongside your weight loss journey with treatments like biostimulators, dermal filler (for jowls), and SkinPen microneedling.

I’m so happy with my results from Hailey! I originally went in thinking I wanted a lip flip, but she recommended gummy smile Botox instead and I’m so glad I listened to her. I really appreciated that she took the time to look at my face and explain what she thought would give me the best results for me. She’s super sweet, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. I love my results and will definitely be going back to her!

Tara was friendly, professional, and excellent at explaining the options. The procedure was very smooth and no more painful than a bee sting.

I must say that ELEV8 Aesthetics is my go to for all of my self-care needs. Hailey is very knowledgeable and trustworthy, she has never tried to oversell anything, and she always goes above and beyond. Not only am I very satisfied with my treatments and results, I truly feel she listens to me, and that, I feel is invaluable. I have no reservations referring Elev8 Aesthetics to all of my family and friends.

I'm very happy with how Hailey did my Botox. The results are excellent. I'd previously done it elsewhere and wasn't satisfied. She's very pleasant and kind, and she does everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend her!

I had never had any injectables when I found Elev8, and am so glad I did! Hailey explains everything thoroughly and will guide you to make the best decision for you, not just give you what you came in asking about or what costs the most. The results have been great for both PRP under eye filler and Botox. Easy and flexible scheduling too.

I don’t often leave reviews, but I genuinely had such an amazing experience today with Tara. For context, this was my first time ever receiving injectables of any kind. I’ve been doing my research for months upon months to try and find someone that I felt like I could trust—I’m so glad I did! I booked a consultation and had several questions. She took the time to break down and explain every concern that I expressed and was extremely knowledgeable. It was so nice to feel included and educated every step of the way! There was no pressure/judgement to do anything I didn’t discuss in the consultation. They also offer a discounted rate for Botox if you’ve never been before. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Tara more for any of your needs. ❤️
