    Medical Weight Loss in Andover for People Who Already Tried Everything Else

    Get Started

    You have counted calories, joined a gym, maybe even started a GLP-1 through an app that never looked at your labs. The number moved for a while, then stalled, or came right back once you stopped. That is not a willpower problem. It usually means nobody built a real plan around your body in the first place.

    Level Up Med Spa offers medical weight loss as a physician-owned, physician-supervised program from the first visit, not a subscription box with a needle attached.

    A consultation here means a thorough look at your history and goals before anything is prescribed. If it is not the right fit, we will let you know.

    What Medical Weight Loss Actually Looks Like Here

    What Medical Weight Loss Actually Looks Like Here

    Level Up is physician-owned, and every plan is physician-supervised from the start. That oversight sits above everything else on this page, not buried in an FAQ.

    Every plan also starts with your medical history, your current medications, and whatever you have already tried, and gets built from there. Co-founder Michael Napolitano personally coaches the exercise and nutrition aspects of your plan. He holds an exercise physiology degree from the University of Massachusetts and has spent more than 25 years working in health and wellness, so the coaching half of your plan comes from someone who has studied how bodies change, not just someone reading a script. That approach lines up with the gradual, steady pace the CDC recommends for weight loss that actually stays off, rather than a crash plan that comes right back.

    We also measure the change instead of asking you to trust it. A quick body scan maps your body composition, including fat and muscle, in under a minute. A slow week on the scale can still show real progress underneath, once you look at the numbers. That kind of measurement is rare at an Andover med spa, and it is one reason people who felt stuck somewhere else end up here instead.

    This is also cash-pay care, the same as all our services. We accept Cherry financing, and FSA funds can be applied toward the $150 consultation fee.

    Medical Weight Loss in Andover Starts With a Conversation, Not a Prescription Pad

    The core program includes lab work, a real conversation about your history, and a plan that might combine GLP-1 medication, body composition treatment, coaching, or some mix of the three, depending on what actually fits you. Nobody hands you a prescription in the first five minutes. If a program is not right for you, we will say so plainly instead of signing you up anyway.
    Most people start with a consultation, then a follow-up once labs come back. The plan gets adjusted from there based on how your body actually responds, not on a fixed script everyone follows the same way. Our medical weight loss program page walks through what a full plan actually includes and what it costs.

    Semaglutide Injections Are Where Most GLP-1 Weight Loss Plans Start

    Semaglutide is one of the two GLP-1 medications we offer here, and it is the one most people have already heard of, even if they know it by a different name. It works by slowing digestion and quieting appetite signals in the brain, so portions that used to feel small enough become genuinely satisfying. The NIDDK provides a good overview of how GLP-1 medications compare with other prescription options if you want a fuller clinical picture before your visit.

    We start at a conservative dose and adjust based on how you respond and what shows up in follow-up labs, not on a fixed schedule that everyone follows the same way. Our semaglutide injections page goes through dosing, timing, and what the first few weeks typically feel like.

    Semaglutide Injections Are Where Most GLP-1 Weight Loss Plans Start

    Tirzepatide Injections Work on Two Hormones Instead of One

    Not everyone responds the same way to semaglutide, and that is where tirzepatide comes in. It works on two gut hormones rather than one, which is part of why some people experience a stronger response to it.

    That does not make it automatically the better choice for everyone, though, and we will talk through both options honestly rather than pushing whichever one is trending this year. Some patients start on one and switch to the other later if the results or side effects warrant it. Our tirzepatide injections page breaks down how the two compare in more detail.

    Vitamin B12 Shots Give Your Metabolism a Real Assist Between Visits

    B12 injections are not a weight-loss shortcut on their own, and we will not sell them to you as one. What they actually do is support energy and metabolism. That matters if fatigue is part of what makes it hard to stick to a plan, whether that plan involves a GLP-1 medication, a body composition program, or just a better routine at home.

    A lot of people ask for these on the same visit as an EMSCULPT NEO session or a weigh-in, since it is a quick add rather than its own appointment. The NIH’s consumer fact sheet on vitamin B12 is a solid, unbiased read if you want the full nutritional picture beyond what we cover here.

    The dosing is simple: a quick injection that takes a couple of minutes, with no real downtime before you head back to work. Some patients add vitamin B12 shots weekly during an active weight-loss phase, then taper off once things level out. It is one of the smallest pieces of a plan here, but it is also one of the easiest to fit into a visit you are already making for something else.

    Fat-Loss Injections Add a Boost When You Need One

    Fat-loss injections, sometimes called lipotropic injections, combine B vitamins and amino acids that support how your liver processes fat. They are not a replacement for a full weight-loss plan, and we are upfront about that, rather than overselling a shot as the whole answer. They work best as a supporting piece alongside GLP-1 medication, body composition treatment, or a coaching-only plan, depending on what you are already doing. If fat-loss injections sound like a fit for you, ask about it at your consultation.

    Medical Weight Loss Questions People Ask Before Their First Visit

    That oversight is built into the structure, not just the marketing. A physician owns this practice, and every plan is supervised accordingly, starting with a real review of your health history and goals instead of a script written the same way for everyone. That standard is set before any medication or injection ever gets discussed.

    No single number decides whether we can help you. We look at your full history, your goals, and what has and has not worked before, then talk honestly about what fits. Some people are strong candidates for GLP-1 injections, and others do better starting with body composition work or B12 support instead.

    That is one of the most common problems with GLP-1 medications, and it is a big part of why we built weight loss around more than a prescription. Harvard Health has written about how much of early weight loss on these medications can come from muscle instead of fat if nothing else is done about it. We pair your plan with body composition treatment that helps protect muscle while the fat comes off, and we scan you along the way so you can see the difference instead of guessing at it.

    No, none of this is covered by insurance. Payment is cash-pay here, and we accept Cherry financing along with major cards. The one exception is the consultation fee, which FSA funds can be applied toward.

    A stall almost always comes down to dose, timing, or something missing from the plan itself, not a sign that nothing will ever work for you. Tell us what you tried and what happened, and we will build the next step from there instead of starting you over from zero.

    We measure it instead of asking you to take our word for it. A short 3D scan gives you real numbers on fat, muscle, and where the change is happening, so a month where the scale barely moves can still show clear progress underneath.

    A consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. We will tell you honestly whether a full weight-loss program, a GLP-1 medication, or something simpler is the right next step for you.
