A medical weight loss program that works.

Lose pounds, shed inches
Lose Weight
To get started, it’s important to remember how you lose weight. Once the scale starts to decrease, individuals tend to feel healthier. However, it’s crucial to prioritize health while achieving substantial and sustainable weight loss.
Our unique approach to medical weight loss.
At Bion Aesthetics and Med Spa, our weight loss approach considers all of your current health factors. This includes identifying the underlying reasons why you haven’t been able to lose weight in the past. Instead of just focusing on a number, we help you get healthy as quickly as possible. The result is natural, lasting weight loss. The process includes the following steps:
Weight Loss Medications
Tirzepatide w/ vitamin B6
Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist. GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP receptor agonists both target different hormones that affect your digestive system. One increases insulin production and one increases insulin sensitivity. Tirzepatide helps with weight loss by signaling to the brain that you’re full so you eat less, and slowing the movement of food through your stomach so you feel full longer.
Application Method: Injection
Semaglutide w/ vitamin B6
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). When you eat, GLP-1 is released in the gut, which tells your brain that you are getting full. It can also slow the movement of food through your stomach and small intestine, helping you stay fuller for longer. As a result, you may eat less food, which can lead to weight loss.
Application Method: Injection
Bupropion/Naltrexone
Bupropion/Naltrexone is a combination of two medications. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, and bupropion is a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. They work together on parts of your brain responsible for appetite control and the reward system to manage your food cravings. Together, they reduce hunger and control cravings to help you lose weight and keep it off.
Application Method: Oral Tablet/Capsule
Why medical weight loss is important
Weight loss medications are important in the treatment of obesity. They can be used alone or in combination with other weight loss strategies and should be considered as part of a comprehensive weight management program. Weight loss medications can work in many ways to help you manage your weight. Some work to make you feel full, while others reduce and control cravings.
Quality care through telemedicine
Bion Aesthetics and Med Spa offers telemedicine to Indiana residents. As technology advances, we have more ways than ever to take control of our health. That’s where we come in, offering specialized services to take healthcare to new levels.
