How Does Medical Weight Loss Work?
At Pretty Special Medspa, the eight-week medical weight loss program begins with an initial consultation where medical professionals will conduct a thorough medical assessment and physical examination, discussing your current health status, medical history, and specific weight loss goals. This information helps them design a personalized weight loss plan that typically includes a tailored nutrition and exercise regimen, along with weight loss injections. Throughout the program, follow-up appointments ensure that any necessary adjustments are made to align with your weight loss goals. At the end of the program, the team at Pretty Special Medspa will provide support and guidance to help you maintain your new, healthier weight. Weight loss injections may include:
- Semaglutide: The program may incorporate semaglutide injections, originally developed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide works by triggering the brain's response to feeling full, thereby reducing hunger and food cravings. These injections are administered once a week under the skin, usually in the stomach, thighs, or upper arms, and are often part of a treatment plan lasting 5 – 6 months.
- Tirzepatide: Another injectable option is tirzepatide, also initially used to control blood sugar levels. This peptide aids weight loss by signaling the brain to feel full, reducing food intake, and slowing digestion to prolong the feeling of fullness.

Pretty Special Medspa Reviews
Facials with Maria are the best part of my month! I leave feeling SO relaxed and my skin has never looked better! She has taught me so much about skincare too.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pretty Special MedSpa and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. Pretty MedSpa was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure I was comfortable throughout my services. Overall, my experience was nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend this med spa to anyone looking for top-notch services.
Maria has been my esthetician for over a year, and my experience with her has been exceptional. When I first visited Pretty Special Medspa, I was struggling with dark spots and an uneven skin tone. Ria recommended the Diamond Glow facial, and trusting her expertise, I decided to proceed with the treatment. She has never steered me wrong. Thanks to her care and guidance, my skin has completely transformed—I no longer have dark spots, my complexion is even, and my acne breakouts have stopped. Ria is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly personable and attentive. Her treatment space is always calming and relaxing—I often find myself drifting off to sleep during my facials. If you're looking for a soothing, results-driven skincare experience, Ria is the one to trust!!
Huge thank you and appreciation to Maria 🖤 I’ve been with her for two years now and followed her to Pretty Special Medspa as she furthers her career. Maria has made me feel confident, I’m facials and waxes and keep Up care. comfortable and relaxed in my own skin. She does the right treatment for you and keeps and makes your skin healthy. Our conversations are amazing, funny, she is now my good friend and I would highly recommend her to anyone anywhere !! She is amazing!!! Absolutely love her.
