Does Kintsu offer medical weight management or GLP-1 therapy?

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](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9272494/) covers the FDA approval, trial data, and efficacy of semaglutide for weight management.

Who qualifies for GLP-1 weight management therapy?

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](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11623039/).

Can aesthetic treatments and weight loss be combined?

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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40281304/) covers how GLP-1-based therapies extend beyond weight loss into broader metabolic and systemic health.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

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.

Physician-Led Treatments

Wellness Shots

Vitamin B12 and lipotropic injections to support energy, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.

Vitamin injections at Kintsu Medical Aesthetics in Manassas, VA provide targeted nutritional support to complement your aesthetic treatments. We offer a standard Vitamin B12 shot for energy and metabolic support, and a B12 + Lipotropics formula that combines B12 with fat-metabolizing compounds for added metabolic benefit. Both are quick intramuscular injections with no downtime. Every injection is administered by trained clinical staff under physician oversight.

Who It's For

B12 shots are ideal for patients who want a quick energy boost, support for metabolism, or a complement to their aesthetic treatments. The B12 + Lipotropics formula is popular with patients also working on weight management goals. Many patients add a shot to their HydraFacial or microneedling appointment to support healing and energy on the same visit.

What to Expect

Both injections take about 5 minutes and are administered as a quick intramuscular shot. There is no downtime. Our clinical team will confirm your health history before your first injection.
