You have tried eating less, moving more and tracking everything, but the scale still is not responding the way you expected. Medical weight loss in Austin looks beyond calorie targets, starting with your health history, bloodwork and a physician review so the plan is built on what your body is actually doing.
Your care involves both nursing support and medical oversight. Genniel, RN, is the clinical aesthetic nurse injector at InjectCo MedSpa Austin and has been a registered nurse since 2010. Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., serves as InjectCo's Medical Director and oversees the medical program.
From your initial screening onward, the focus is on whether treatment is medically appropriate, how you are responding, and whether the plan needs to change. For anyone comparing medical weight loss programs in Austin, TX, it helps to know who is reviewing the medical side rather than receiving medication through an automated process alone.
Unlike a commercial diet program, the process begins with your medical history and clinical eligibility. A licensed clinician reviews your health, orders appropriate testing and follows how you respond over time. Medication is not automatic, and this program may not be suitable for everyone. Results vary between patients.
Prescription weight management medications may be considered after your screening, bloodwork and physician review. Some act on GLP-1 receptors, which are involved in appetite signalling and digestion. Others act on more than one metabolic pathway, including GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
In practical terms these medicines may change hunger, fullness and the rate at which food leaves the stomach. They do not improve willpower. They work through biological pathways involved in appetite and metabolism. Not everyone is a candidate, and results vary between patients.
When compounded preparations are prescribed they should not be described as FDA-approved. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are dispensed in the way it reviews approved drugs. Compounding is permitted in specific circumstances when the applicable legal and clinical requirements are met. Your clinician will explain what is being prescribed, why it is being considered, and where it is sourced.
InjectCo does not transfer weight-loss percentages or timelines from branded clinical trials onto compounded preparations. Your response cannot be predicted from another product's study results.
Share a few details and the Austin nursing team reviews them against standard medical criteria. A licensed provider confirms everything during your screening. This is a starting point, not an approval for medication.
Your height, current weight and goal weight give the Austin team a starting point. Standard medical criteria, your health history and bloodwork determine whether a medical weight loss program is appropriate for you.
If you qualify, the program is one flat rate with no separate charge per visit.
This is not a diagnosis, an approval or a prescription. Your medical history, bloodwork and physician screening determine whether treatment is appropriate.
InjectCo's medical weight loss program is $425 per month, or $1,800 for a 6 to 8 month program if you would rather commit upfront. The same rate applies to both the compounded semaglutide and the compounded tirzepatide program. Which one is appropriate for you is determined after your medical screening and physician review.
The monthly rate is designed to be all-inclusive, covering your consultation, medication, clinical monitoring and follow-up care. You can also use InjectCo's Instant Price Simulator as a starting point.
Approved patients can begin treatment the same day and pay over time instead of all at once.
How it works: apply online with CareCredit or Cherry in a few minutes, get a decision on the spot, then bring your approval to your appointment. Our team can help you compare options during your consultation and apply on the day if you prefer.
Terms and rates are set by the financing provider. Your nurse will walk you through your total cost, including any financing fee, before anything is booked.
Medical weight loss is not appropriate for everyone. Your screening determines eligibility, and completing an online form or estimator does not mean you have been medically approved for treatment.

We are at 2235 E 6th St, Unit 106, Austin, TX 78702, in the Holly neighborhood of East Austin, across the street from UT Elementary Charter School and about two thirds of a mile east of Plaza Saltillo station. Parts of the process can begin from home, including the online medical form and the virtual consultation. Your care team explains when an in-person visit is needed for screening or monitoring.
The program is physician-supervised by Dr. Josh Allen, D.O., Medical Director, with nurse-led care at the Austin location from Genniel, RN. Your medical history, screening and response to treatment are reviewed as part of the program rather than medication being issued without follow-up.
Yes. InjectCo Austin sees patients from East Cesar Chavez, Downtown and Rainey Street close by, from Mueller, Hyde Park and Cherrywood to the north, from Travis Heights, South Congress and Bouldin Creek across the river, and from West Lake Hills, Rollingwood and Tarrytown to the west. Downtown is about ten minutes and Mueller about thirteen by measured drive time, though actual travel depends on traffic. Much of the program can also be run remotely.
Follow-up frequency depends on your treatment plan, medical history and how you respond. Ongoing monitoring is part of the program so your clinical team can review side effects, answer questions and decide whether treatment should continue or be adjusted.
It is a medically managed program combining screening, laboratory testing and clinical monitoring with a treatment plan that may include prescription medication. A licensed clinician evaluates whether treatment is suitable and follows your response over time. It differs from a general diet plan because medical eligibility and monitoring are part of the process.
Possibly, but eligibility cannot be determined from a website alone. Your medical history, current health, laboratory results and any contraindications need to be reviewed first. The program may not be suitable for everyone, including people with certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
No. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not evaluate compounded preparations for safety, effectiveness and quality before dispensing in the way it reviews approved medicines. When compounded medication is considered, your clinician explains why it is being prescribed and discusses the relevant risks and limitations.
Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal discomfort. More serious risks can occur, including pancreatitis and gallbladder disease. If you stop, your appetite, weight and other symptoms may change, and what happens varies from person to person. Do not stop prescribed medication without discussing it with your clinician first.
You do not need to know which medication you need before you come in. The first step is finding out whether medical treatment is appropriate for you at all. Your screening gives the clinical team the information they need to review your health, explain your options and decide what should happen next. Prefer to call or text?
