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.
Check out our quick-compare chart below for a head-to-head comparison of the top three weight loss drugs available today.
Beaver Medical Group offers three primary medical weight loss solutions, each tailored to your unique needs:
Each program is designed to work in tandem with nutrition, exercise, and now with ShapeScale monitoring, to deliver sustainable and healthy weight loss outcomes.
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?
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
Who Should Avoid Phentermine?
Common Side Effects
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.

Effectiveness varies. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both offer excellent results with consistent use and medical supervision. Phentermine is great for short-term use. Your doctor will help select the best option based on your goals and medical history.
Absolutely. Combining medication with healthy eating and exercise enhances results. We guide you through this integration step by step.
Coverage depends on your insurance provider and medical diagnosis. We’ll help you navigate the process and verify your benefits.
Some patients notice changes within weeks, especially in appetite. With ShapeScale, we can detect body composition changes even before they’re visible on a traditional scale.
When used properly, these medications are considered safe. However, our team will monitor you for any potential side effects or complications.
ShapeScale is a 3D body scanner that visually maps changes in your physique, tracking fat loss, muscle gain or loss, and body symmetry. It helps ensure that you’re losing weight the right way—by maintaining lean muscle mass while shedding fat.
Scans are done at each visit to Beaver Medical Group. This allows us to adjust your medication, nutrition, or fitness plan based on accurate, visual data.
