Weight Loss

Medical Weight Loss in Baton RougeMedical Weight Loss at The Face Place supports sustainable weight management through a personalized approach. The program begins with an integrative assessment of your overall health, addressing factors that may have impeded past weight loss efforts.

Under the guidance of our experienced provider, a customized plan is developed that incorporates diet, exercise, nutrition, and medications such as Tirzepatide and Semaglutide. Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, suppresses appetite by targeting brain regions that regulate hunger and slows stomach emptying to promote a sense of fullness.
