Results and how long they last
Meaningful weight loss typically begins within 4-8 weeks. Average loss of 15-20% of body weight with consistent use over 6-12 months.
What it is
Medical weight loss combines pharmaceutical support with physician oversight to address the biological barriers that make sustainable weight loss difficult. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) regulate appetite hormones, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity - changing the hormonal signals that drive overeating, not just suppressing hunger temporarily.
Our Cherry Creek clinic at 36 Steele St, Suite 100 offers medical weight loss to clients from across Denver - including nearby Cherry Creek North, Country Club, Congress Park, Belcaro, Hilltop, and Hale, as well as Capitol Hill, Washington Park, and the broader Denver metro. Most are within a 10-minute drive. Our Cherry Creek studio is across from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, near the 22-mile Cherry Creek Bike Path and a short drive from the Denver Botanic Gardens and Wash Park.
Many clients also consider Slim + Sculpt Drip and Peptides & Anti Aging as related options.
What to expect
Your first visit is a consultation and lab review. Once cleared, we initiate your medication protocol at a low starting dose and titrate up over several weeks to minimize side effects. Regular check-ins monitor your progress, address any concerns, and adjust your plan. This is an ongoing relationship - not a one-time prescription.

Service FAQs
If you don't see your question, just reach out
What happens after I reach my weight loss goal?
Once you hit your goal, we transition you to a maintenance protocol designed to protect your progress long term. That may include a lower maintenance dose, nutrition coaching, metabolic support, or eventually tapering off medication entirely. The goal is lasting results, not a short-term fix.
Are there side effects to medical weight loss medications?
Mild nausea, fatigue, or GI changes are the most common side effects, especially in the first few weeks. These usually ease as your body adjusts. Your provider starts at a conservative dose and titrates carefully to minimize side effects while keeping results on track. If anything feels off, we adjust your plan right away.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary based on your starting point, medication, and how consistently you follow the plan. Many clients lose 10 to 20% of their body weight over 6 to 12 months on GLP-1-based protocols. Your provider will set realistic benchmarks with you and adjust your plan so progress stays steady and sustainable.
What are GLP-1 medications and how do they help with weight loss?
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. They help you feel fuller sooner, reduce cravings, slow gastric emptying, and support sustainable fat loss when combined with healthy habits. They are prescribed and monitored by your provider throughout the program.
How does medical weight loss at Luxe Forté work?
Our medical weight loss program is physician-supervised and tailored to your body, labs, and lifestyle. After an initial consultation and screening, your provider prescribes a personalized plan, which may include GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide, metabolic support, nutrition guidance, and regular check-ins to adjust your protocol as you progress.
