Weight Loss
Achieve Your Goals, Reclaim Your Confidence
Are you tired of struggling with weight loss on your own? At ICON Aesthetics in Athens, OH, our medical weight loss program goes beyond a prescription. We provide comprehensive care, ongoing support, and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve sustainable results.
GLP-1 medications are a class of treatments that help regulate appetite, improve blood sugar balance, and support long-term weight loss. We offer a comprehensive range of these therapies, including compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—starting at just $450 for a 3-month supply. These options are prescribed as part of a personalized program designed to make advanced weight management more accessible and affordable.
Weight Loss Add-ons
Boost your energy, metabolism, and recovery with targeted support. Take your transformation to the next level with our curated menu of science-backed injectables designed to complement your weight loss journey.
Supports energy, mood, red blood cell production, and metabolism—especially helpful if you’re feeling fatigued or following a plant-forward diet
A growth hormone–releasing peptide that increases lean muscle mass (which further helps to increase weight loss), improves sleep, and recovery—especially valuable during weight loss to counteract muscle loss and skin laxity.
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) plays a crucial role in cellular energy production, metabolic health, and healthy aging. NAD+ is beneficial in reducing energy dips that can occur while taking GLP-1 medications, and can help promote healthy aging and metabolic support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between specific GLP-1s for weight loss?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that signals the brain to feel full, slows down digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar.
Tirzepatide is a dual-action agonist that targets two different hormone receptors: GIP and GLP-1. By acting on both pathways, it can provide an extra boost to your metabolism and may lead to even more significant weight loss for some patients.
How do these medications help with weight loss?
These treatments mimic GLP-1, a natural hormone that slows digestion, reduces hunger, and regulates blood sugar. This leads to fewer cravings, smaller portions, and less food obsession.
What is "Ozempic face" or "Ozempic butt," and can it be avoided?
This refers to volume loss in the face and buttocks during rapid weight loss. At Icon Aesthetics in Athens, OH, we prevent this through steady progress, proper protein intake, strength training, and skin support treatments.
What kind of results can I expect?
Most patients lose 15–25% of their body weight over six to twelve months when combining medication with lifestyle changes. Results vary, but success is best achieved with a balanced diet, exercise, and healthy habits.
What are the side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, constipation, and diarrhea, which typically improve over time. Rare serious risks include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. We start with low doses and increase gradually.
Do I need to follow a diet or exercise plan while on these medications?
Yes. These medications work best within a complete program. At Icon Aesthetics in Athens, OH, we combine GLP-1 therapy with protein-rich meal plans, strength training, goal setting, and personalized coaching for lasting habits.
What happens if I stop taking the medication?
Weight regain is common without permanent lifestyle changes. Our program builds sustainable habits and metabolic improvements that last beyond treatment.
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
These treatments are recommended for conditions such as high blood pressure or prediabetes. We’ll review your health history during the consultation to determine if treatment is right for you.
Are Wegovy® and Zepbound® FDA-approved for weight loss?
Yes. Both medications have FDA approval specifically for weight loss treatment.
Is it true that you can lose muscle mass while taking Wegovy® or Zepbound®?
