There is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss. This journey requires a more thoughtful, patient-centered approach.
That’s why, at Galt Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, we personalize each and every weight loss plan in Fort Lauderdale to the patient.
Here’s what you can expect when you trust Dr. Stella Villacorta, our concierge weight loss doctor.
Evidence-Based Treatments
There are many factors that can contribute to weight loss struggles—like hormones and genetics—that are outside of your control.
Our treatments target these biological factors to aid your weight loss journey. These are customized to your unique needs and overseen by Dr. Villacorta. Our evidence-based treatments include the following:
Weight Loss Medications
We prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide, two weight-loss shots that mimic the natural hormones in your body that regulate appetite.
This formula stops cravings at the source and helps you maintain a calorie deficit (burning more calories than you consume), which is essential for weight loss.
We provide not only these injections but also a variety of oral medications designed to support you in reaching your desired weight loss results.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Your hormones regulate bodily processes, like:
- Metabolism
- Body fat distribution
- sleep/wake cycles
- Energy levels
As you age, key hormones, like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, decline, leaving you with a multitude of symptoms that affect all aspects of health—including your weight.
We use hormone replacement therapy to replenish these hormones and improve your overall health. While this is not a direct solution to weight loss struggles, it’s a helpful tool and starting point.
Ongoing Care
We don’t prescribe these medications and leave you to fend for yourself. You meet regularly with Dr. Villacorta to track your progress and make sure that the medication is working for you. During these check-ins, we also have you step on our InBody body composition scanner that tracks the following:
- Body fat percentage
- Muscle mass
- Total body water
This is a more accurate depiction of your total body weight than a regular body mass index (BMI). The scan helps us adjust your nutritional guidance and exercise recommendations to combat the muscle loss that is common with any form of weight loss. We make sure you get enough protein in your diet and strength training in your exercise routine to help your body build and repair muscles.
