Medical Weight Loss

Achieve Your Ideal Self

At Southeast Aesthetic + Wellness in Clayton, NC, we help men and women achieve real, lasting results through personalized medical weight loss programs. Our science-backed approach combines nutrition, medication, and lifestyle support to help you lose weight safely, improve your body composition, and feel your best.

Unlike fad diets or one-size-fits-all plans, our medical weight loss programs look at the root causes of weight gain—such as hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance—to create a plan that’s both effective and sustainable. Throughout your journey, we also coordinate with your current healthcare provider to ensure your treatment aligns with your overall health plan and supports your long-term wellness.

What People Look for in a Medical Weight Loss Program

Patients searching for the right medical weight loss program often want results that are safe, personalized, and sustainable. At Southeast Aesthetic + Wellness, we deliver just that through:
  • Evidence-based treatments supervised by medical professionals
  • Customized plans tailored to your body and goals
  • Ongoing accountability and expert guidance every step of the way
  • Comprehensive care integrating nutrition, lifestyle, and advanced therapies

Our Weight Loss Treatments

We offer evidence-based therapies designed to support safe and sustainable fat loss while improving your overall health and well-being. Each program is tailored to your individual goals, lifestyle, and medical history for results that last.

Compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Medications

Compounded GLP-1s and GLP-1/GIPs are prescription weight loss medications that mimic natural hormones in the body to help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. GLP-1 medications target a single satiety hormone, while dual-action GLP-1/GIP formulas stimulate two receptors for enhanced appetite control and potentially greater results.

These medications are considered a game changer in the world of medical weight loss because they not only help reduce cravings but also support a healthier relationship with food. Many patients report feeling fuller longer, making it easier to maintain balanced eating habits.

Please understand that these medications are to be taken very seriously, and we do not offer any therapies to anyone under the age of 18 or to individuals who aren’t overweight. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether these treatments are a safe and effective option for you and discuss compounded alternatives for patients whose insurance doesn’t cover brand-name medications.

Peptide Therapy

As we age, natural human growth hormone (HGH) production declines, affecting metabolism, energy, and overall wellness. Peptide therapy uses targeted amino acid chains (peptides) to stimulate your body’s own HGH production, helping restore balance from within.

Clinical studies have shown that consistent peptide therapy may improve lean muscle mass, fat reduction, energy levels, sleep quality, skin elasticity, and even immune function. Results typically begin within a few weeks, but optimal benefits are achieved after three to six months of continued treatment.

Additional Services

  • Nutritional counseling
  • Gut testing and optimization
  • Hormone optimization
  • Independent “do-it-yourself” options
 
  • IV therapy and B12 injections
  • 30-Day Reset programs
  • Body contouring and infrared wellness pod sessions

Each of these treatments can be combined into a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals, providing a complete and supportive medical weight loss experience.

Wellness Conditions Supported
Through Medical Weight Loss

At Southeast Aesthetic + Wellness, our medical weight loss programs go beyond simply reducing pounds. We address underlying factors such as hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and metabolic concerns to help you feel healthier and more energized. Many patients experience improvements in common symptoms like low energy, poor sleep, sugar cravings, digestive discomfort, and mood fluctuations—all while safely achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.

What to Expect

During your initial visit, we’ll review your lab results, complete an InBody Analysis, and take body measurements to understand your starting point. You’ll be paired with a Wellness Coach who provides guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies tailored to your goals.

We’ll also discuss IV therapy, B12 injections, or prescription weight loss medications as appropriate, providing all instructions for any treatments that need to be self-administered. You’ll receive support and guidance every step of the way, including tips on supplements that can enhance your results.

Our goal is to help you lose weight safely while improving overall health, energy, and quality of life. Through a holistic, data-driven approach, we provide the tools, treatments, and accountability you need to achieve your goals and transform your lifestyle.
