Personalised plan

Weight management, skin concerns and IV therapy support — with medical oversight, investigations where needed, and a clear plan.

Note: Treatments are tailored to clinical needs, medical history and safe prescribing practices.

Weight Management in Phoenix | Medical Support + Lifestyle Strategy

Investigate • Treat • Support • Sustain

⚖️ Medical Weight Management

Sustainable weight loss starts with understanding your metabolism, habits, risks and goals. We assess properly, investigate when needed, and build a plan that you can actually follow.

  • Baseline investigations (where indicated) to guide safe treatment
  • Medical treatment options discussed based on suitability
  • Practical nutrition strategy (simple and sustainable)
  • Follow-up monitoring to keep you safe and consistent

💉 GLP-1 Options + Oral Agents (Discussed in Consultation)

For suitable patients, we can discuss prescription options such as GLP-1 therapies and oral agents. These are not “shortcuts” — they work best as part of a structured plan.

  • GLP-1 options discussed: Ozempic / Wegovy / Mounjaro (where appropriate)
  • Oral agents discussed (e.g., Duromine) for selected patients
  • Side-effects, contraindications and monitoring explained clearly
Prescriptions are based on clinical assessment and safety. Not everyone is a candidate — we’ll guide the best option for you.

🥗 Lifestyle Strategy + Dietician Network

We can refer you to dieticians and support practical approaches that fit your lifestyle.

  • Dietician referrals when needed
  • Advice on OMAD (One Meal a Day) for selected patients
  • Intermittent fasting guidance (safe structure, not extremes)
  • Meal planning that works with your routine

Skin Care in Phoenix | Acne, Keloids & Skin Tags

Simple, medical and effective

✨ Skin Concerns We Help With

Many skin problems respond well to a proper assessment and consistent treatment plan.

  • Acne assessment and treatment guidance
  • Keloids (assessment and management options)
  • Skin tags (assessment and removal options)

Tip: Bring photos of your skin when it flares, and list any creams/medications you’ve already tried.

IV Therapy in Phoenix | Rehydration, Electrolytes & Wellness Drips

Supportive therapy when clinically appropriate

💧 IV Therapy Options

IV therapy can be useful for dehydration and recovery support — we assess first to confirm what’s appropriate and safe.

  • Rehydration drips
  • Electrolyte support
  • Glutathione (wellness support)
  • “Hangover” support (rehydration + symptom relief where appropriate)
  • General wellness drips (tailored)
  • Iron drips
✅ Assessment first

We check symptoms, vitals and risks before selecting an IV option.

🧾 Clear plan

You’ll know what’s in the drip, why it’s chosen, and what to expect afterwards.

🧑‍⚕️ Medical oversight

IV therapy is done with clinical supervision and safety checks.

Note: IV therapy is not a replacement for treating underlying medical conditions — it can be supportive where appropriate.

What to Expect (Wellness Visits)

1) Goals + assessment

We align on your goals and assess medical history, risk factors and what’s realistic.

2) Investigations (if needed)

Where appropriate, we do tests to ensure treatments are safe and guided by evidence.

3) Plan + follow-up

A clear plan with follow-up milestones — because wellness is a process, not a once-off visit.

What to Bring

Medical aid + ID

Bring medical aid details and ID/passport.

Medication list

Include supplements, allergies, and any previous weight-loss or acne treatments.

Home measurements (optional)

Weight trends, glucose readings (if relevant), BP log, and any fitness goals you’re tracking.
