GLP-1 Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are a well-established, evidence-based approach to medically supervised weight management. At Neely Dermatology & Aesthetics, these treatments are prescribed and monitored by a board-certified dermatologist with specialized expertise in how weight loss affects the skin and hair. The goal is sustainable transformation that preserves your appearance throughout the process.

Why See a Dermatologist for Weight Loss?

Rapid or poorly managed weight loss can lead to skin laxity, dullness, and hair shedding. At Neely Dermatology & Aesthetics, GLP-1 treatment is approached through a dermatologic lens, as dosing is structured to support a gradual, skin-preserving pace of loss.

How Do GLP-1 Medications Work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and enhance fullness. When combined with structured nutrition and regular exercise, they support steady weight loss without the extremes that compromise skin integrity or hair health.

What to Expect

Treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, lab work, and a personalized starting dose. Each month, Dr. Neely reviews your progress, evaluates your response, and adjusts your dose as needed.

Skin & Hair Health During Weight Loss

As weight decreases, patients are monitored for skin laxity, texture changes, and hair shedding. When indicated, in-office treatments for skin rejuvenation or hair restoration are incorporated into the plan.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Am I a Candidate?

GLP-1 therapy is a good fit for adults looking for physician-guided weight loss. While those who meet a certain BMI threshold are traditional candidates, patients below the threshold may still qualify. Certain personal or family medical histories may also affect eligibility. Dr. Neely will review your health history, lifestyle, and treatment goals at your consultation to determine if this is the right fit for you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
