weight loss
Weight loss can be a challenging journey, but with the right tools and professional guidance, achieving your goals becomes attainable. At Beaver Medical Group, we offer a range of personalized weight loss services, including Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, and Phentermine—all designed to support your long-term health and wellness.
What sets us apart? In addition to proven medications, we utilize ShapeScale, a cutting-edge 3D body scanning technology that precisely monitors changes in your body composition. As patients lose weight—especially with powerful GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—preserving muscle mass becomes critical. ShapeScale allows us to track fat loss and muscle retention in real time, helping ensure that your progress is not just fast, but also safe, balanced, and sustainable.
Whether you’re managing weight for health reasons or personal goals, this page offers a complete overview of your options—and what makes our practice truly different.

What Weight Loss Services Does Beaver Medical Group Offer?
Beaver Medical Group offers three primary medical weight loss solutions, each tailored to your unique needs:
- Semaglutide
A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and promotes a feeling of fullness. - Tirzepatide
A dual-action GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that delivers enhanced weight loss outcomes. - Phentermine
A prescription appetite suppressant that supports short-term weight loss as part of a broader lifestyle plan.
Each program is designed to work in tandem with nutrition, exercise, and now with ShapeScale monitoring, to deliver sustainable and healthy weight loss outcomes.
Semaglutide for Weight Loss
What Is Semaglutide?
Originally developed for Type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has rapidly become one of the most effective treatments for medical weight loss. This GLP-1 receptor agonist mimics natural hormones in the body that regulate hunger and digestion.
How Does It Work?
- Curbs hunger by targeting brain receptors related to appetite
- Slows gastric emptying, leading to longer feelings of fullness
- Improves metabolic health and stabilizes blood sugar
Who Can Benefit?
Semaglutide is ideal for individuals with a BMI of 27+ who have at least one weight-related condition (like high cholesterol or hypertension), or those with a BMI of 30+.
Common Side Effects
- Nausea
- Digestive discomfort
- Fatigue
Added Benefit with ShapeScale:
Patients using Semaglutide often experience rapid weight loss. With ShapeScale, we ensure you’re not just losing pounds—but maintaining lean muscle mass and burning fat efficiently.
Tirzepatide for Weight Loss
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a powerful medication that works on two hormone pathways: GLP-1 and GIP. This dual receptor agonist helps patients experience faster, deeper, and more consistent weight loss results.
Key Benefits
- Strong appetite suppression
- Enhanced insulin sensitivity
- Greater fat reduction compared to single-pathway medications
Is It Right for You?
Tirzepatide is recommended for those with a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related medical condition.
Common Side Effects
- Nausea
- Digestive upset
- Low energy early in treatment
Why ShapeScale Matters:
GLP-1/GIP medications may also reduce muscle mass during fat loss. ShapeScale gives us the ability to monitor those changes, so we can tailor your treatment to preserve lean body mass and optimize results.
Phentermine: A Time-Tested Weight Loss Option
What Is Phentermine?
Phentermine is a prescription appetite suppressant that works by stimulating neurotransmitters in the brain, helping reduce hunger and boost energy. It’s generally used for short-term results in 12-week cycles.
How It Works
- Suppresses appetite
- Increases satiety
- Boosts initial motivation and weight loss momentum
Who Should Avoid Phentermine?
- Pregnant or nursing women
- Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or uncontrolled hypertension
Common Side Effects
- Dry mouth
- Insomnia
- Increased heart rate
Phentermine + ShapeScale:
While ShapeScale is especially beneficial for patients using GLP-1 medications, it also helps Phentermine users by providing visual proof of body transformation, increasing motivation and ensuring fat—not muscle—is being lost.
