FAQ
Medical Weight Loss — Fort Myers FAQ
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss uses FDA-approved medications (primarily GLP-1 receptor agonists) under physician supervision to achieve sustainable fat loss. At Solace, Dr. Flávio prescribes and monitors Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide with regular lab work and dosage adjustments.
How much does medical weight loss cost in Fort Myers?
Cost depends on the medication, dose, and monitoring your case needs — we don't publish flat pricing. Call our concierge line at (239) 323-9549 and our team will walk you through cost, including the consultation and lab work, before you book anything.
Is Semaglutide available in Fort Myers?
Yes. Dr. Flávio prescribes physician-supervised Semaglutide (equivalent to Ozempic/Wegovy) at Solace Wellness Aesthetics. We also offer Tirzepatide (equivalent to Mounjaro/Zepbound) and Retatrutide.
How much weight can I lose on GLP-1 medications?
Clinical trials show 15–22% body weight reduction over 68–72 weeks with Tirzepatide (SURMOUNT-1 trial). Semaglutide shows 15% average (STEP 1 trial). Individual results vary based on adherence, diet, and activity.
Do I need to take the medication forever?
GLP-1 medications work best as part of a long-term metabolic management plan. Some patients maintain results after stopping; others experience rebound. Dr. Flávio will help you understand your options and design a maintenance strategy.
