Niwa Medical Weight Loss Programs offer advanced weight loss treatments using GLP-1 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Our medical weight loss programs are designed to help individuals achieve their desired weight and appearance through a personalized approach that focuses on lifestyle changes and healthy habits.
Science behind GLP-1 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide:
GLP-1 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications that work by mimicking the activity of a hormone called GLP-1. This hormone is naturally produced by the body in response to food intake and helps regulate blood sugar levels, appetite, and body weight. By using GLP-1 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, we can help reduce hunger and control cravings, leading to a decrease in caloric intake and subsequent weight loss.
Who is a good candidate for medical weight loss?
Our medical weight loss program is suitable for individuals who are overweight or obese and have not been successful in achieving their desired weight through traditional diet and exercise methods. It is important to note that medical weight loss is not a quick fix, and requires a commitment to lifestyle changes and healthy habits to achieve lasting results.
How will the most beneficial drug be determined for the patient?
Our team of medical professionals will evaluate each patient’s individual needs, medical history, and overall health status to determine which medication is best suited for them. This personalized approach ensures that our patients receive the most effective treatment plan for their unique circumstances.

GLP-1 Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have been shown to be highly effective in promoting weight loss, with minimal side effects. These medications also have additional benefits, such as improved blood sugar control and cardiovascular health. GLP-1semaglutide and tirzepatide have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of obesity-related health conditions as well. Additionally, they are once-weekly injections, which may be more convenient for some patients than other daily medications or frequent appointments.
It is generally recommended to start with the Medical Weight Loss program before undergoing body contouring treatments. This is because achieving a healthy weight through the Medical Weight Loss program can help optimize your results from body sculpting treatments. Losing weight can reduce the amount of excess fat and improve your body’s overall contour, which can help enhance the results of body sculpting treatments such as Vaser Liposuction, Renuvion Skin Tightening, and EON Body Contouring.
Additionally, once you have reached your weight loss goals through the Medical Weight Loss program, you may find that you no longer need body sculpting treatments, or that you need fewer treatments to achieve your desired results. This can help you save time and money in the long run.
However, it is important to discuss your specific goals and needs with your healthcare provider at Niwa to determine the best plan of action for you. They can help you create a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your unique situation and aesthetic goals.
The Ballancer Pro uses a combination of compression and massage to stimulate lymphatic drainage and help reduce the appearance of cellulite. It can also improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help detoxify the body.
During a medical weight loss program, lymphatic drainage massages with the Ballancer Pro can help to support the elimination of toxins and excess fluids from the body, which may aid in weight loss. It can also help to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce bloating, making you feel more comfortable and confident as you work towards your weight loss goals.
However, it’s important to note that lymphatic drainage massages with the Ballancer Pro should not be relied upon as the sole means of achieving weight loss. They should be used in conjunction with a comprehensive medical weight loss program that includes healthy lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.
If you’re interested in incorporating lymphatic drainage massages with the Ballancer Pro into your medical weight loss program, talk to your healthcare provider or a qualified aesthetician to learn more about its potential benefits and whether it may be right for you.
EvexiPEL® Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be beneficial for some individuals as part of their weight loss journey, but it is important to discuss this with your healthcare provider at Niwa Aesthetics to determine if it is right for you.
HRT can help rebalance hormones in the body, which can be important for those who are struggling with weight loss due to hormonal imbalances. In some cases, hormonal imbalances can make it difficult to lose weight, even with diet and exercise.
However, it is important to note that HRT is not a magic solution for weight loss and should always be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Additionally, HRT may not be appropriate for everyone and can have potential risks and side effects, which your healthcare provider can discuss with you.
At Niwa, we take a personalized approach to weight loss and offer a range of treatments and therapies to help our patients achieve their goals. We can work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that may include Medical Weight Loss, body sculpting treatments, IV nutrition, and other therapies, depending on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.
IV Nutrition can be a beneficial addition to a Medical Weight Loss Program for some individuals. IV Nutrition involves the administration of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV drip. This method of delivery bypasses the digestive system, allowing for optimal absorption of the nutrients.
IV Nutrition can help support overall health and well-being, which is important for successful weight loss. Nutrient deficiencies can make it difficult to lose weight and can also lead to fatigue and other health problems. By providing the body with the nutrients it needs, IV Nutrition can help improve energy levels, boost the immune system, and support healthy weight loss.
Additionally, IV Nutrition can be tailored to the individual’s specific needs and can be used to address specific health concerns. For example, if you have a nutrient deficiency or a health condition that may be impacting your weight loss efforts, your healthcare provider at Niwa may recommend a customized IV Nutrition formula to address your needs.
It is important to note that IV Nutrition should not be used as a replacement for a healthy diet and lifestyle. Rather, it should be used as a supplement to support overall health and wellness. Your healthcare provider at Niwa can discuss the benefits of IV Nutrition and whether it may be a beneficial addition to your Medical Weight Loss Program.
It is generally safe to receive Botox, Xeomin, and dermal fillers while participating in a medical weight loss program, as long as you are in good health and have no contraindications. However, the best timing for these treatments will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals.
In general, it is usually best to schedule injectable treatments after you have made significant progress with your weight loss goals. This is because weight loss can lead to changes in the distribution of fat in your face, which can affect the way Botox, Xeomin, and dermal fillers are applied and can impact the final results.
Additionally, if you are following a strict diet or exercise regimen as part of your medical weight loss program, it may be best to wait until you have reached a stable weight before receiving injectable treatments. This can help ensure that the results of your injectable treatments are not impacted by further changes in your body weight or composition.
Ultimately, the best timing for injectable treatments will depend on your individual needs, treatment goals, and medical history. It’s important to discuss your options with a qualified healthcare provider who can help you determine the best course of action based on your specific situation.
Maintaining your weight loss results after completing a Medical Weight Loss program is essential to achieving long-term success. Here are some tips to help you maintain your results:
Stick to a healthy diet: continue to follow a healthy, balanced diet that is low in calories, sugar, and saturated fats. This can help you maintain your weight loss and improve your overall health.
Stay active: incorporating regular physical activity into your daily routine can help you maintain your weight loss, improve your cardiovascular health, and boost your overall energy levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is essential for maintaining good health and can help prevent overeating by making you feel full.
Keep a food diary: tracking what you eat and drink can help you stay on track with your healthy eating goals. My Fitness Pal is a free app that you can download for Android and IPhone if you prefer a digital food diary.
Get regular check-ups: scheduling regular appointments with your healthcare provider at Niwa can help you stay on top of your weight and overall health. They can provide you with guidance and support to help you maintain your weight loss results.
Consider ongoing support: Continuing to work with a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian or personal trainer, can help you maintain your weight loss results by providing you with ongoing guidance and support.
After completing a medical weight loss program, there are several things you may want to avoid to help maintain your weight loss and overall health. Here are some tips:
- Don’t return to old habits: One of the most important things to avoid is returning to your old eating habits or sedentary lifestyle. The key to long-term weight loss success is to make sustainable lifestyle changes that you can stick to over time. Be sure to continue eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity.
- Don’t skip meals: Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and lead to overeating later on. Be sure to eat regular, balanced meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism revved up and avoid overeating.
- Don’t neglect protein: Protein is important for maintaining muscle mass and keeping you feeling full and satisfied. Be sure to include protein-rich foods in your meals and snacks.
- Don’t ignore your emotions: Emotional eating is a common problem, and it can be easy to fall back into old patterns when you’re feeling stressed or anxious. Try to find healthy ways to manage your emotions, such as meditation, yoga, or talking to a therapist.
- Don’t forget to stay hydrated: Drinking enough water is important for maintaining a healthy weight and keeping your body functioning properly. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Remember, maintaining a healthy weight requires a long-term commitment to making healthy lifestyle choices. If you need help staying on track, consider working with a registered dietitian or other healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan that works for you.
