Non-Surgical Weight Loss Program

At Amaka Aesthetics, our Nashville plastic surgeon, Dr. Amaka Nwubah, does quite a lot in the realm of body contouring. That said, we do have a BMI limit on surgical procedures for safety reasons, and that limit is 35. Over time, our team has noticed a gap in healthy weight loss options before surgery to help patients get to that limit and also to help maintain weight after surgery. In recognition of this gap, Amaka Aesthetics now offers a non-surgical weight loss program to empower our patients to optimize their health.

How Do Non-Surgical Weight Loss Injections Work?

We are happy to introduce the three-step weight loss kit to our Nashville and Brentwood practice, consisting of Sermorelin, Low-Dose Naltrexone, and a vitamin blend. As we age, our body produces less growth hormone, which is essential for heart health, hair growth, weight loss, and more. Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary gland to release anti-aging growth hormones, which leads to muscle mass and lean body mass gain, fat reduction and weight loss improvements, increased energy and endurance, boosted strength, more efficient wound healing, and cardiovascular health improvement.

What Is Involved in the Weight Loss Program?

The non-surgical weight loss program consists of three steps:

First, patients will have a consultation with Rachel Chenier, PA-C, about their weight loss goals, medical history, and any other concerns.

Next, patients will have preliminary labs done to optimize the safety and efficacy of the treatment.

Finally, once candidacy is ensured, the Amaka Aesthetics team will order your weight loss kit and have it sent to your house, where you will self-administer the injections and take each medication as directed.

What Is Included in My Weight Loss Kit?

Your Amaka Aesthetics weight loss kit will include a carefully selected and formulated set of three medications that, when taken together, help promote weight loss, skin health, mental clarity, and energy levels—among other benefits.

Below, we have outlined how each medication should be taken and what role it plays in your weight loss journey:

Sermorelin: Sermorelin is an injectable solution that is self-administered 5-7 times a week at night. It stimulates the pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone (GH), which naturally decreases with age. Increased GH levels lead to faster workout recovery as well as increased lean muscle mass, which leads to fat reduction through lipolysis. GH can also help restore the body’s natural sleep cycle, grow thicker hair, promote clearer skin, support stronger nails, increase libido, and improve insulin sensitivity. 

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN): LDN is taken as a once-daily pill. Benefits include appetite reduction, feeling full faster, enhanced mental clarity, accelerated fat burning, and weight loss. LDN can help create an improved ratio of calories burned to calories taken in through diet to help normalize hormone levels and aid in weight loss. Many patients also report a reduction in “food noise” as a result of taking LDN, helping them to think about food less often and develop a healthier, more balanced relationship with nutrition. 

Lipo-Trim Sublingual Spray: Lipo-Trim SL is a spray solution that should be administered under the tongue once a day. It contains a balanced selection of amino acids and B vitamins to enhance energy levels, boost metabolism, and provide support for the immune system.
