Traditional Exercise Doesn’t Work for You?

There are a lot of reasons popular exercise routines don’t work for every individual. Some people can’t run because they have bad knees and/or joints. Some people have slow metabolisms and diets haven’t worked out.

Medical technology has allowed for fast and effective weight loss treatments at reasonable rates. Take Lipo-Light, for example. It’s a non-invasive technique that slims you down over a shorter period of time. After 4-6 weeks following the final treatment, the results will really be seen.

The Lipo-Light process all starts with the consultation. You need to get your questions answered and make sure it is the right procedure for you.

Body sculpting is a way to get the results you want. The average patient can see results anywhere from three to five inches after nine sessions.

Your Botox Questions Answered

When Botox is mentioned casually, most people know what it is but don’t know much else. What does it do to the facial muscles? How much does it cost? What are the benefits? Luckily, at Medical Center Weight Loss Clinic & Spa, we can answer all of your Botox questions right here!

Botox works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles with a small injection needle. What does it accomplish? Botox allows you to smile, frown, and look surprised, etc. without wrinkles appearing on your face and neck. It’s the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the United States today.

Do Botox injections actually paralyze the facial muscles? No, that is a common misconception. This can only happen if Botox is used in excess, but the staff and clinical nurses at Medical Center Weight Loss Clinic know just the right amount to inject with the goal of leaving patients looking younger, more rested, and happier.

Right now, our Botox injections are going for only $10 per unit. A small price to pay to fix those lines, wrinkles, creases and drooping skin. Plus, the results are long-lasting (up to 4 months) and begin working as quickly as one week. Is it painful? Not enough where sedation or anesthesia is required. Discomfort is generally minimal and brief as the treatment only takes a few minutes.

Thinking about Botox injections? Have more questions? Give us a call at (210) 615-1300 for a no-obligation consultation with a professional today!

3 Strategies to Help with Weight Loss

At Medical Center Weight Loss Clinic and Spa, we seek to improve your health through medically supervised weight loss programs. We can help you achieve the results you’re looking for through measures such as FDA-approved supplements which suppress appetite and boost metabolism, safe and affordable injections, or a variety of alternative natural products such as Unicity Matcha.

Our medically supervised programs are proven to work, but everyone’s body is different and some people will lose weight faster than others. Beyond using our products and medical weight loss experts, here are some strategies that may help your weight loss efforts:

1. Drink more water

Give the alcohol and sugary drinks and break and make water your beverage of choice. This is obviously easier said than done, but simply replacing beer, soda or sugary juices with water will expedite your weight loss process.

2. Take pictures

Document your transformation and your process. This can be uncomfortable at first, but use it as motivation! In your journey to lose weight, visually documenting the effort can be fun to look back on when you’ve reached your goal as well.

3. Less screen time

Another tough thing to give up for many people is staring at your TV, phone or computer. While it’s possible to run on a treadmill and watch TV, most people are inactive while using their electronics. Take a break from them. Cut back on the binge-watching and get outside!

Would you like to speak with a medically-trained professional who can create a customized weight loss plan for you? Give us a call for a free, no-obligation consultation today: (210) 615-1300.

Weight Loss – Are you Ready for a Solution that Works?

Are you constantly bombarded by messages telling you to, “try this pill,” “try this diet,” “change your exercise routine,” but nothing seems to be working? Our medically supervised weight loss program might be the solution you need.

Meet our experts

At Medical Center Weight Loss Clinic & Spa, we have doctors, nurses and weight loss counselors available to meet with you and design a plan best tailored to your needs.

Upon an initial visit, our medical team will take your biometrics: Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Fat Percentage and Body Measurements – as well as, review your medical history and have a discussion about a potential customized weight loss program.

After determining what program fits you best, an evaluation that may include lab work and an EKG will be performed.

Don’t try it alone

When beginning the journey to lose weight, many people start it alone. You don’t have to. Accountability – whether it’s from a counselor, family member, doctor or friend is essential!

Accountability, motivation and desire are just half the battle. We believe that the other half entails following a program that is created by professionals and specific to your personality and body type. Stop playing the trial-and-error and guessing game when it comes to weight loss. Seek after a detailed plan, follow it, and take all the support you need along the way!

Do our programs work? Just ask Kathryn or Ricardo. If you’re located near San Antonio, TX, give us a call at (210) 615-1300 for your consultation or book an appointment online, here. The support and plan you need to start your weight loss journey, begins at Medical Center Weight Loss Clinic.
