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.
What is Shape Scale? A Smarter Way to Track Your Progress
At Beaver Medical Group, we go beyond the number on the scale. That’s why we’ve integrated ShapeScale, an advanced 3D body scanning technology, into our weight loss programs.
Whether you’re using Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or Phentermine, ShapeScale provides a powerful visual and data-driven view of your transformation—helping us monitor not just how much weight you’re losing, but how your body is changing.
Why We Use ShapeScale
Precision Tracking
ShapeScale creates a 3D visualization of your body with 97% accuracy compared to DEXA scans, allowing us to measure fat loss, muscle retention, and even visceral fat (the dangerous fat around internal organs).Muscle Preservation Matters
GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are effective for weight loss, but can also result in unwanted muscle loss. ShapeScale helps us monitor this in real time so we can make tailored recommendations—like increasing protein intake—to help maintain lean mass.Faster, Smarter Adjustments
With every scan, we gather detailed insights that allow us to fine-tune your medication plan, fitness routine, and nutrition strategy. Even subtle changes become visible, helping you and your provider stay aligned and focused.Visual Motivation
Seeing is believing. With access to your scans on your phone, you’ll have constant visual proof of your progress—from inches lost to improved posture and definition—even when the scale stays the same.Comprehensive Body Data

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.
