The Dermalogic medical weight management program starts with an in-depth consultation. We will assess your weight and health, discuss your medical history, review your diet and activity levels, go over your personal goals, and more. This meeting is also the foundation of the relationship with Dr. Amy Krachman and the Dermalogic team. Everyone involved in your medical weight management program wants to connect with you. Building a personal relationship with our team establishes trust, which helps with your own confidence in your efforts and satisfaction with your medical weight management program results.

Together, we will set goals that include reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, helping you to develop a medical weight management plan that you are comfortable following for the long-term, and providing you with the support you need to make it all happen.

Since this is a physician-supervised medical weight management program, every visit will be supervised by Dr. Krachman. Doctors of osteopathic medicine focus on comprehensive patient care, emphasizing how all of the body’s various systems are connected and interrelated. Thus, a medical weight management program does not only focus on fat in specific areas. By looking at the body as a whole and creating sustainable changes that impact your entire person, Dr. Krachman can help you to achieve improved health and wellness as you lose weight and keep it off.

When it comes to eating, the Dermalogic medical weight management program is based on real food, not pre-packaged or substitute “meals” designed to create a calorie deficit by sticking to a specific brand. You will be able to shop and cook in a way that is natural, incorporating new and healthy habits into your lifestyle.

On the subject of food, it is important to emphasize again that the Dermalogic medical weight management program is not a fad diet. Dr. Krachman is not about eliminating all of a certain type of food across the board, nor creating a future marked by meals you are not looking forward to eating. Our medical weight management program patients learn to embrace a new lifestyle that carries them forward into ongoing good health.

For patients who need more help on the medical weight management journey, Dr. Krachman does make safe and effective appetite control supplements available. The usage and dosage of any medications will be discussed on a case-by-case basis, since the option varies depending on a patient’s unique program and medical condition.

After completing a medical weight loss program, you’ll notice a more refined and balanced body shape. The reduction in excess weight highlights a leaner, healthier silhouette with toned muscles and smoother curves. Your overall appearance will reflect the hard work and dedication you’ve invested, showcasing a transformed, revitalized body that radiates confidence and vitality.

The reality of weight management and fat loss is that, despite our best efforts, we can’t target specific areas of the body for reduction. Genetics plays a large role in where you see fat reduction on your body, which is why someone may see their waist shrink, but a double chin remain. Other people who stick with a healthy diet and exercise could watch as the number continues to go down on the scale, but be frustrated by the continued presence of a belly bulge.

The truSculpt system, which uses radiofrequency energy to heat fat cells that are then broken down by the body, can target the belly area, buttocks, and thighs, as well as other areas of the body where stubborn, so-called “diet-resistant” fat remains. The result is targeted body contouring with a noticeable slimming effect.

Another body sculpting option available to help medical weight management program patients achieve the contours and silhouette they want is Kybella®. This injectable prescription medication specifically targets small, isolated pockets of fat, such as the cells that create submental fullness—better known as a double chin. The active ingredient in the treatment disrupts fat cell membranes, after which they are broken down, resulting in visible volume reduction.

Remember, neither of these treatments is intended for weight loss or management. The cosmetic benefits can be wonderful, but the fat-reducing results that impact overall health will come from medical weight management. Talk to the Dermalogic team about combining the various options in order to enjoy the full scope of benefits—starting with a lifestyle you can maintain to lose weight and keep it off.

After significant weight loss, some patients notice changes beyond fat reduction, including facial hollowing, crepey skin, or loss of structural support in both the face and body. To address these concerns, Dermalogic offers treatments focused on rebuilding collagen and restoring balance. Sculptra works gradually to stimulate your own collagen production, improving firmness and volume over time in areas that appear deflated. Dermal fillers can be used selectively to replace lost volume and refine contours without looking overdone. For loose or crepey skin, microneedling RF strengthens the deeper layers of the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin, improving texture and tone. When combined thoughtfully, these treatments help restore support, smooth the skin, and create a more complete, natural looking result that reflects your overall transformation.

Many diets and lifestyle shifts are unsuccessful because the person trying to lose weight undergoes the attempt on their own. From researching options to trying to plan menus and meals to staying committed to the changes—weight management can be an overwhelming process when flying solo! The stress of juggling so much with no guidance can lead to disappointment and lack of will to continue.

That’s where the Dermalogic medical weight management program comes in! When choosing our physician-supervised medical weight management program, you are choosing a committed partner who is guiding you, accompanying you, and encouraging you every step of the way. Best of all, this is not merely a cheerleader or acquaintance with advice. This is a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has the professional experience and background to create an effective plan that is tailored to your specific body, metabolism, and goals.
