FAQ

When starting a medicine or even considering taking a medicine you are bound to have questions. While your healthcare provider is always the best source for answers, you may also find some help below.

  • How much weight can I lose?
    Results do vary, but in a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~35 lbs (or ~15% body weight). People taking placebo lost an average of 6 lbs (or ~2.5% body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~232 lbs. Results are from a 68-week medical study of adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) and adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) who also had weight-related medical problems including high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded. Both groups were instructed to take the medicine along with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity. 7% of people taking Wegovy™ (92 people) left the medical study due to side effects, compared to 3.1% of people taking placebo (20 people).
  • Does my insurance cover the weight loss program?
    Insurance coverage for weight loss programs varies greatly depending on your specific insurance plan and provider. Some plans may cover a portion of the costs, while others may not offer any coverage. It's best to contact your insurance provider directly to understand the specifics of your policy regarding weight loss programs, nutritional counseling, and related services. We can also provide you with documentation about our program that you can submit to your insurance company.
  • What if I know my insurance won't cover the medicine?
    We understand that medical weight loss medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro can be very expensive, often costing upwards of $900-$1200 per month, making them inaccessible for many. At Atlanta Wellness Clinic, we believe that effective weight loss solutions should be available to everyone. That's why we've made our weight loss medication program very affordable. We offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to ensure that you can access the support and medication you need to reach your weight loss goals without breaking the bank. Contact us today to discuss your options and find a plan that fits your budget.
  • How do I dispose of the pen?
    Do not throw the pen away in your household trash. Instead, use an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container or a sturdy household container with a tight-fitting lid, like a heavy-duty plastic container.
  • What do I do if I miss a dose?
    Don't worry if you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away (48 hours), take the missed dose as soon as possible. If you miss a dose and the next scheduled dose is less than 2 days away, don't administer the dose. Wait until your next scheduled dose. If you miss doses for more than 2 weeks, call your health care provider to talk about how to restart your treatment. You can take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.
  • What do I do if the liquid in my pen isn't clear?
    Your medicine should always be clear and colorless, if it is not, PLEASE DO NOT USE! Contact us immediately for a replacement.
  • Do I need to eat before or after taking my medicine?
    That is up to you, you can take your medicine with or without food.
  • How quickly can I expect to lose the weight?
    There is no set time for you to begin seeing results because people respond to medicine differently. Ask your health care provider about what a realistic expectation is for you.
  • Am I able to travel with my medicine?
    For sure! When traveling by air it's recommended to carry your pen in your carry-on as it may freeze in the baggage compartment below the plane. Check with your airline to see if they have specific baggage rules.
  • Can I take it at any time of the day?
    Yes, it's recommended that you take it on the same day every week at the most convenient time for you.
  • Can I change the day I take it?
    You can change the day of the week you take it as long as your last dose was given 2 or more days before.
  • Is there a Free Consultation before any treatment?
    Yes. After Booking your treatment and getting to your appointment, A professional team member will proceed to a full free consultaton before starting any treatment. On this consultation, you will also create a plan with your final goal and number of sessions needed to achieve that.
  • When should I book a Package rather than a single session?
    Every treatment we offer can be purchased as a single session or as a package with a discount. Depending on your goal of final results, you might be happy with just a single treatment. For more dramatic results you will need to complete several sessions of treatments and in that case, purchasing a package all together will save you a lot of money rather than paying separately for each treatment.
  • Which one of the body sculpting procedures is most effective and fast for fat loss?
    Nutone 8T is the most dramatic and effective fat loss treatment we offer. It can be positioned anywhere on the body such as abs, quads, glutes and hamstrings. It not only burns fat but also builds muscle and smooths the skin.
  • What is a current promo discount from this spa?
    We always have discounts on purchasing the packages (several session of treatment), but we are offering introductory pricing for 1 session of NuTone 8T and NuVive. We also offer a referral discount for your procedure and the person that you refer and they end up booking with us. Please Contact us via Phone or Email regarding this promo offer in case of any questions.
