Yes. Our physician-led weight management program includes GLP-1 therapies (Semaglutide and Tirzepatide), all under physician oversight. GLP-1 receptor agonists are among the most clinically validated weight loss treatments in obesity medicine history, with average weight reductions of 15 to 17 percent in major trials. A comprehensive clinical review covers the FDA approval, trial data, and efficacy of semaglutide for weight management.
Physician-Led Treatments
Obesity Medicine
Evidence-based weight management and obesity medicine under direct physician supervision to optimize your metabolic health and wellbeing.
At Kintsu Medical Aesthetics in Manassas, VA, we approach weight management the same way we approach skin care: with clinical precision, honest guidance, and physician-led oversight. Every weight management patient receives direct, ongoing physician supervision. Our obesity medicine program includes GLP-1 therapies such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, comprehensive metabolic health evaluations, and personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of weight gain, not just the symptoms. We built this program because skin health and metabolic health are connected. Hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and weight changes directly affect conditions like melasma, acne, and overall skin quality. Addressing both together produces better outcomes than treating either one alone.
Who It's For
Our obesity medicine program is for patients who want a medically supervised, evidence-based approach to weight management. Whether you have struggled with weight loss despite diet and exercise, are interested in GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, or want to understand how your metabolic health is affecting your skin, our medical team will work with you to build a plan that makes sense for your body and your goals. This is not a quick-fix program. It is physician-led medical care with ongoing monitoring, dosage adjustments, and clinical accountability. Patients from Manassas, Woodbridge, Bristow, Gainesville, Haymarket, and across Northern Virginia and Prince William County trust Kintsu for weight management that is grounded in real medicine.
What to Expect
Your first visit is a comprehensive physician consultation, where you will discuss your weight history, metabolic health, current medications, and goals. Based on that evaluation, your provider will recommend a personalized plan that may include GLP-1 therapy, lifestyle modifications, and metabolic health optimization strategies. If GLP-1 medication is appropriate, we handle prescribing, dosage titration, and ongoing monitoring directly. Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to track progress, adjust dosages, and address any concerns. Because we are a medical practice with a physician on-site, you are not navigating this process through a telehealth app or a prescription mill. You have a doctor who knows your case.
The Kintsu Difference
Why choose Kintsu for Obesity Medicine on deeper skin tones?
Many practices now offer GLP-1 prescriptions, but few pair them with genuine physician oversight and an understanding of how weight management intersects with skin health. At Kintsu, no one is writing prescriptions remotely or handing off your care to a faceless service. You have a physician-led team, in the practice, reviewing your labs, adjusting your plan, and connecting your metabolic health goals with your aesthetic goals. That inside-out approach is central to everything we do at Kintsu, and it is what makes our weight management program different from what you will find at other clinics in Northern Virginia.
Kintsu Medical Aesthetics is located at 9110 Railroad Drive, Suite 320A, Manassas Park, VA 20111. We serve patients throughout Northern Virginia and Prince William County, including Manassas, Woodbridge, Bristow, Gainesville, Haymarket, and surrounding communities.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit.
GLP-1 medications are generally prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia. Every patient is evaluated individually during a medical consultation. The FDA-approved eligibility thresholds are confirmed by clinical guidelines synthesized in Diabetes Spectrum.
Yes — and the connection goes deeper than aesthetics. Hormonal changes, inflammation, and metabolic shifts that come with weight loss show up on your skin. At Kintsu, we look at both together. Pairing GLP-1 therapy with skin treatments allows us to address results from both the inside and outside simultaneously. A 2025 review in PubMed covers how GLP-1-based therapies extend beyond weight loss into broader metabolic and systemic health.
Your first visit begins with a complimentary consultation where we review your skin history, previous treatments, and goals. Our medical team is involved in every patient's treatment plan. We will walk you through our recommendations, explain why we chose them, and make sure you are completely comfortable before any treatment begins.
