What Is Medical Weight Loss?
While it can be satisfying to achieve your weight loss goals alone through personal willpower and effort, it can also be challenging, time-consuming, and stressful. By working with a qualified medical weight loss coach, you can enjoy improved outcomes along with greater accountability and support. For instance, our personalized weight loss management program in Maryland comes with weekly weigh-ins to ensure you remain on track toward meeting your goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss management in Maryland is ideal for anyone who wants to take their self-care results to the next level. It is an excellent solution for patients who already follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen but still struggle to meet their personal body contouring goals. They may be coping with obesity-related health issues, such as hypertension, diabetes, or sleep apnea, and know that getting their weight under control is the first step to increased well-being and longevity.
Weight-loss injections typically require the patient to have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (27 or higher for those with weight-related comorbidities). Our team will provide a thorough consultation process to ensure your treatment plan will be safe, successful, and rewarding.
What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight-loss medications like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide work by imitating the body’s innate hormone secretion mechanisms after eating. The body releases hormones after meals that signal fullness to the brain, curbing the appetite. When injected, these FDA-approved medications can help patients to lose weight quickly and safely. Combined with a healthy diet and workout schedule, Tirzepatide and Semaglutide can help balance insulin release, slow the passage of food through the digestive tract, enhance fat-burning, and silence food cravings.
Advantages of Weight-Loss Injections
- Non-addictive treatment option with minimal risk of dependency
- Non-stimulant-based formula
- Most patients do not experience negative side effects
- Can help curb appetite and food cravings
- Allows patients to feel fuller faster
- Proven efficacy and safety
- Patients can lose 5% to 15% of their initial body weight
How Are Weight-Loss Injections Performed?
Tirzepatide and Semaglutide injections in Maryland are administered every week. Depending on your response, the dosage may be adjusted over time to optimize results. The injections are generally well-tolerated and are administered painlessly in areas such as the midsection, upper arm, or thighs.
You'll schedule follow-up visits with Dr. Rottman every week to monitor your progress and receive further guidance.
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a leading weight-loss medication delivered through weekly in-office injections performed by Dr. Rottman. It fuses the mechanisms of the body’s natural hunger-suppression hormones GIP and GLP-1, making it ideal for effectively reducing appetite and balancing blood sugar levels. With Tirzepatide, patients are able to advance their metabolic health and see marked improvements in weight loss.
How Does Tirzepatide Work?
Tirzepatide works by mimicking the action of certain hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) in the body that help to regulate blood sugar and control appetite after meals. It acts on receptors in the brain to increase feelings of fullness. Additionally, Tirzepatide slows down gastric emptying. This means that food stays in the stomach longer, reducing overall caloric intake. All of these attributes combined help to make Tirzepatide one of the most effective means of controlling weight.
