If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and the scale still won’t budge, you’re not alone—and you’re not the problem. Weight loss isn’t just about willpower; it’s about biology, hormones, and finding the right support.

Thanks to major advances in medical weight loss, we now have powerful tools that work with your body—not against it. At Icon Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer a range of proven treatments including Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide, and Phentermine, all designed to help you safely lose weight and keep it off.

But how do you know which option is right for you? Let’s break it down in a way that makes sense—without the medical jargon.

 

Semaglutide: The Trusted Favorite

Semaglutide (you may have heard of it as Wegovy or Ozempic) has quickly become one of the most sought-after weight loss medications—and for good reason. It helps regulate appetite, reduces cravings, and makes you feel full faster and longer. Think of it like turning down the volume on your hunger signals so you can make clearer choices without the constant urge to snack.

Most of our clients on Semaglutide start to notice subtle changes within the first few weeks—like needing smaller portions or feeling satisfied more quickly. Over time, that adds up to consistent, noticeable weight loss.

It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a steady, sustainable pace—and want to make lifestyle changes that last.

 

Tirzepatide: When You Want Faster, Deeper Results

If Semaglutide is the solid, dependable option—Tirzepatide is its high-performance sibling. Marketed under the brand name Mounjaro, Tirzepatide works on not one, but two hunger-related hormones. This dual action means even more appetite suppression, greater fat loss, and often quicker results.

Many of our Tirzepatide clients come to us after trying Semaglutide—or they start here when they know they want to be a bit more aggressive with their goals. The bonus? Many people also report better energy and mental clarity, which can help when you’re adjusting your habits and routines.

It’s ideal for those who want a stronger metabolic reset or who may have more weight to lose up front.

Phentermine: A Classic Tool That Still Works

Let’s not forget about Phentermine—a tried-and-true appetite suppressant that’s been used safely for decades. While newer injectables get a lot of attention, Phentermine can still be a very effective option, especially if you want something oral, fast-acting, and accessible.

In many cases, we use Phentermine to jumpstart the first 4–6 weeks of a weight loss program while medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide are ramping up in the background. You can also take it on its own, depending on your health goals and provider recommendation.

It works by reducing hunger and increasing energy, which is often exactly what people need to break through a plateau or get motivated again.

 

How We Help You Choose the Right Path

Here’s the thing: you don’t need to walk into your consultation knowing which medication you want. That’s our job. At Icon Wellness, we start every weight loss journey with:

• A deep dive into your health history and goals

• Lab work to better understand your metabolism and hormone levels

• A plan tailored to your body, lifestyle, and preferences

• Ongoing coaching and support, not just a prescription

We also consider your timeline, how much weight you’d like to lose, how fast you want to lose it, and how you prefer to take your medication (injection vs. oral).

 

Final Thoughts

Medical weight loss isn’t about shortcuts—it’s about strategy and having the right support system in place. Whether you’re leaning toward Semaglutide for steady progress, Tirzepatide for faster results, or Phentermine for a powerful kickstart, there’s an option that can work for you—and we’re here to help you find it.

At Icon Aesthetics & Wellness, we don’t just offer medications—we offer partnership, guidance, and real results. Your body, your goals, your pace. Let’s make this the last time you ever have to “start over.”
