Medical Weight Loss
Finding a healthy, sustainable weight loss program can feel overwhelming. With new trends, fad diets, and “miracle” drugs everywhere, it may be confusing to understand what the right solution is for you when it comes to losing weight. As complex beings, weight loss isn’t a one size fits all, or always a calories in/calories out approach when it comes to addressing stubborn fat. At Illumatox, we believe in a well crafted approach to weight loss that is individually personalized. We are committed to helping our patients develop long term habits to set them up for continued success in their weight loss journey.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide is a compounded medication used for weight loss that aids in reducing hunger cravings and suppressing appetite.
Semaglutide is administered in the form of an injection. Patients self-administer these injections after full education and instruction are provided at the initial consultation. We know that giving yourself a shot can sound scary, but we promise to give you the support and education required.
Treatment length, as well as dosage, varies from patient to patient and will be discussed in depth at your in office consultation.
*Weight loss and/or results are not guaranteed.
How Do I Start My Weight Loss Journey?
We’re thrilled to be your partner in your journey to healthy and sustainable weight loss with Semaglutide injections. After you’ve scheduled your prescription weight loss consult, you’ll be emailed a pre-appointment screening questionnaire that must be filled out before your consultation. Elizabeth will then review your health history to determine if you are a good candidate* for Semaglutide. If your pre-appointment screening is without concern, you will then move on to the next step of a Semaglutide consultation. The initial consultation fee is free. This consultation includes a review of medical history, as well as an in depth discussion on Semaglutide, and instruction on self-administration of weight loss injections. Elizabeth is passionate about patient education and firmly believes in collaboration with her patients to create a customized treatment plan.
We are excited to say we are now offering both in person and virtual Semaglutide consultations. Get started on your weight loss journey from the comfort of your home! Our only ask is that you have access to a scale during your virtual consultation, as the provider will need to visualize your weight. Additionally, you must reside in WI to be eligible for our virtual weight loss program.
*Please keep in mind that “passing” the pre-appointment questionnaire does not ensure Semaglutide prescription approval, as a virtual or in person consultation is required.
Medical Weight Loss Pricing
At Illumatox, we like to keep things simple. Our weight loss program is auto billed monthly, and is $450 per month.
Treatment Duration
This includes all medication as well as follow up appointments, which are required, at a minimum, every 10-12 weeks. We offer our follow up appointments both in person and virtually, for your convenience. If following up virtually, you must have access to a scale, as your weight will be monitored at each appointment. Treatment duration with Semaglutide varies from patient to patient, however, Semaglutide for weight loss purposes typically is not a life-long medication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Semaglutide has been shown to be effective for weight loss in clinical trials. In one study, patients taking semaglutide lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight.
Like any medication, semaglutide may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include nausea, constipation, hair-thinning, and decreased appetite. It is important to discuss any potential side effects with your doctor before starting either of these medications.
The length of treatment will vary depending on individual factors such as starting weight and response to the medication. In most cases, these medications are taken for at least 6-12 months for optimal weight loss. Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration of treatment for you.
It is important to discuss with your doctor about long-term use of these medications. In some cases, it may be beneficial to continue taking them for maintenance of weight loss, but this should be done under medical supervision and in combination with healthy lifestyle changes. Elizabeth does not generally keep patients on longterm maintenance, and they may need to switch to their primary care provider if they desire long term maintenance therapy.
