Weight loss doesn’t have to be a guessing game. At Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center in Tuckahoe, NY, patients can now access a physician-supervised GLP-1 weight loss program. No nurses, no Nurse Practitioners, no PAs. This offers structure, safety, and support every step of the way. The program combines prescription weight loss injections with professional monitoring to help patients achieve gradual, sustainable results.
Those ready to begin a physician-guided weight loss plan can schedule a consultation with Dr. Michael Kerin and his experienced team.
What Is GLP-1?
GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. Prescription GLP-1 medications are designed to mimic the effects of this hormone, helping patients feel full sooner, control cravings, and manage calorie intake more effectively.
This treatment is FDA-approved for chronic weight management when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. Under proper medical supervision, it provides a science-backed approach to reducing appetite and improving long-term metabolic health.
How the GLP-1 Program Works
The GLP-1 program at Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center is personalized to each patient’s needs. The process is physician-directed from start to finish and includes:
Comprehensive Assessment
Every program begins with a detailed consultation and medical evaluation. Dr. Kerin reviews each patient’s health history, medications, and goals to determine if GLP-1 treatment is appropriate.
Gradual Dose Titration
Patients start at a low dose to allow the body to adjust comfortably. Doses are slowly increased under supervision to achieve optimal benefits with minimal side effects.
Ongoing Support
Regular check-ins allow the team to monitor progress, track weight loss, and make any necessary adjustments. Lifestyle recommendations are also provided to support nutrition, exercise, and hydration throughout treatment.
This thoughtful, physician-led structure helps patients progress at a steady pace while prioritizing comfort and safety.
Benefits of GLP-1 for Weight Management
GLP-1 medication supports healthy, sustainable weight loss by working with the body’s natural signals. It helps reduce appetite, prolongs feelings of fullness, and makes it easier to manage portion sizes.
With continued use and lifestyle support, patients often experience:
- Steady weight reduction over time
- Improved portion control and reduced cravings
- Enhanced blood sugar balance
- Greater energy levels and overall wellness
Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center emphasizes realistic expectations; results take time, and consistent follow-up is key to success.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
This program is designed for adults seeking medical guidance for healthy weight loss. Ideal candidates are those who:
- Struggle with weight despite diet and exercise
- Want to make long-term lifestyle adjustments
- Are in overall good health and medically cleared for treatment
Patients undergo a complete evaluation before starting the program to confirm eligibility. Certain medical conditions or medications may affect candidacy; therefore, an individualized assessment is essential.
What to Expect During Treatment
The GLP-1 program is designed to be gradual, comfortable, and fully supported by Dr. Kerin and his team.
After the initial consultation, patients receive a personalized plan that includes injection instructions, dosage schedules, and follow-up appointments. Most begin with small doses that increase over several weeks.
Subtle changes often appear in the first month—such as reduced cravings or smaller meal portions. Over time, patients may notice steady weight reduction as the body adjusts. Regular visits allow for safe dose adjustments and ongoing progress tracking.
GLP-1 vs. Body Contouring Options
GLP-1 treatment helps reduce overall body weight and improve metabolic health. However, patients looking to refine or sculpt specific areas may consider pairing this program with body contouring procedures available at Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center.
Popular contouring treatments include:
- CoolSculpting Elite for non-surgical fat reduction
- CoolTone for muscle toning and strengthening
- Vaser Lipo for precise fat removal
- Renuvion J Plasma for skin tightening
- Morpheus for skin tightening
Dr. Kerin and his team can help patients decide whether combining treatments would best fit their goals.
