How the Medical Weight Loss Process Works
1
Consultation
Before beginning medical weight loss treatments in Los Gatos, you’ll meet with one of our providers for a consultation. We will discuss your concerns, symptoms, goals, and sensitivities. Then we’ll use a SECA bioimpendance scale to measure your body fat percentage, as well as the ReeVue Indirect Calorimeter to measure the resting metabolic rate.
We will then create a personalized treatment plan for your needs based on this initial consultation.

For weight loss success, it has been shown that nutrition plans containing meal replacement products are more successful than regular diets alone. Here at Transform Wellness, we offer a partial meal replacement program, consisting of 1-2 meal replacements per day to help achieve macronutrient and micronutrient goals. This is especially important for those on weight loss medications like semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro)
- Will I need any medications for this program?
-
Medications may play a role in some medical weight loss treatment plans. We will address whether they are appropriate for your individual needs when we customize your treatment plan.
- Will I gain any weight back after I've lost it?
-
When you have reached your goals in treatment, we will ensure you have the resources and understanding to help you maintain your weight.
- I've heard about Ozempic face. What is it and how can it be treated?
-
With quick weight loss, people lose volume in the face and skin becomes looser. This is even noticeable after losing 5-10 pounds, but is more pronounced with over 20 pound weight loss, or if someone is over 40. The facial volume loss occurs in key structural areas like the cheek and temples, as well as sagging skin along the jawline and neck.
At Transform Wellness, we offer two non-invasive devices to help combat these changes. The first is EmFace, the only device on the market that combines radiofrequency with electrical stimulation of the facial muscles using HIFES (high intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation) energy, which leads to improvement in sagging skin as well as increasing muscle tone and volume. Studies have shown an average 37% reduction in wrinkles, 30% increase in facial muscle tone, and 23% lifting effect. It has been shown to be equivalent to 1.57 cc of Hyaluronic Acid in the cheeks, leading to increase in volume. It is a great foundational procedure for which further treatments can be based on.
The second device is Exion Face Applicator. Exion Face treatments use a patented combination of radiofrequency energy and targeted ultrasound, which increases the production of hyaluronic acid (by 224%!), collagen, and elastin. This helps improve skin health, boost hydration, and increase plumpness.
- How do I minimize muscle mass loss and sagging skin with weight loss?
-
At Transform Wellness, we offer a one of a kind solution for muscle loss and sagging skin called Emsculpt Neo. It uses radiofrequency and HIFEM (high intense focused electromagnetic energy) that has been shown to burn 30% fat and increase 25% muscle the area being treated, as well as 19% visceral fat. It is a great way to build back up the muscles of the upper arms, abdomen, love handles, buttocks and thighs. It also helps tighten skin.
To further combat sagging skin, as well as hard to lose pocketed fat, we also offer the Exion Body Applicator. Exion Body Applicator uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and targeted ultrasound to induce fat cell apoptosis and reduce the fat layer in hard-to-reach areas like the bra bulge, banana roll under the buttocks, and fat pockets on the knees.. The radiofrequency energy also boosts collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which tightens the skin.
One area that is neglected when it comes to muscle loss is the pelvic floor. A weak pelvic floor can lead to urinary incontinence, sexual difficulties, and low back pain. Emsella is a great treatment to strengthen back up the pelvic floor. It uses the same HIFEM energy as the Emsculpt Neo, but in a chair, inducing supramaximal contractions over a 28 minute period (the equivalent of doing 12,000 kegels).
