Medically reviewed by Charles Kamen, MD, board-certified neurologist ·
Real medical weight loss targets more than the scale. The goal is measurable improvement in the markers that drive long-term health — body fat, A1C, blood pressure, and lipids — using medications like semaglutide (FDA-approved as Wegovy® and Ozempic®), tirzepatide (FDA-approved as Zepbound® and Mounjaro®; both approvals are verifiable in the FDA drug database) — always after a medical evaluation, never before. Researching newer options? See our physician-reviewed guide to retatrutide.
Las Vegas is full of med spas and franchise clinics that will sell you a weight-loss subscription on day one. LiveNow Longevity is a physician practice: board-certified neurologist Dr. Charles Kamen, MD reviews your history and baseline labs first, designs an individualized protocol, and your medication comes from a licensed US pharmacy at pass-through cost with no markup. If medication is not appropriate for you, you will hear that at the $88 evaluation — not after months of auto-billing. See our cost and pricing guide for how the no-markup model works.
We serve Las Vegas, Henderson, Green Valley, and all of Nevada — in person at our clinic at Eastern Avenue and the 215, or by secure telehealth. Read more about our full weight management program. If you are weighing medication options for weight loss in Las Vegas, our GLP-1 weight loss guide covers how semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescribed locally.

Medical weight-loss medication options in Las Vegas
These are the FDA-approved, peptide-based medications most often used for medical weight loss. Which one — if any — fits you is decided at your evaluation, never from a menu. Dosing is individualized by the physician and is not listed here.
| Medication | Receptor target | FDA status for weight loss |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®) | GLP-1 receptor agonist | FDA-approved (Wegovy® for weight management) |
| Tirzepatide (Zepbound®, Mounjaro®) | Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist | FDA-approved (Zepbound® for weight management) |
| Retatrutide | Triple GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon agonist | Investigational — not FDA-approved or available outside trials |
Tirzepatide's efficacy for weight management was established in the SURMOUNT randomized-controlled-trial program (PubMed). Compare options in our semaglutide vs tirzepatide guide or the full GLP-1 medication comparison. Individual results vary; medication is offered only when medically appropriate.
What to expect on a GLP-1 weight-loss program
GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications are not an overnight fix — they work gradually, and the protocol matters as much as the molecule. Here is the honest arc of a physician-supervised program at our Las Vegas clinic:
- Titration. Dosing starts low and increases on a schedule. Starting low and going slow is what minimizes nausea and GI side effects — the most common reason people quit when they self-source online.
- Timeline. Most patients notice appetite changes within the first weeks; meaningful weight change typically unfolds over months of consistent use plus nutrition and resistance training. Individual results vary.
- Muscle matters. Rapid weight loss can cost muscle. We track body composition, not just scale weight, and pair medication with protein and training to protect lean mass — more in our guide to muscle preservation during weight loss.
- Maintenance. What happens when you stop is a real question — some regain is common without a plan. We build a maintenance strategy rather than leaving you on auto-refill forever; see GLP-1 maintenance.

Medical Weight Loss in Las Vegas — FAQ
How much does medical weight loss cost in Las Vegas?
At LiveNow Longevity, the medical evaluation is $88 and is applied toward your plan if you continue care. Medications are then billed at pass-through cost with no markup; your individual protocol price depends on the medication and pharmacy, and is reviewed with you before you commit to anything.
Semaglutide or tirzepatide — which is right for me?
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved for chronic weight management, and the right choice depends on your individual history, labs, tolerability, and goals. Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor; tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP. Which is more appropriate — if either — is exactly what the $88 evaluation with Dr. Kamen determines.
Do I qualify for medical weight loss?
Candidacy for medical weight loss is a medical decision made after reviewing your history, labs, and current medications — not a checkbox on a marketing form. Adults whose weight or metabolic markers — body fat, A1C, blood pressure, lipids — would benefit from physician-supervised treatment are typical candidates, but the evaluation decides, and sometimes the answer is that medication is not the right tool for you.
Is medical weight loss safe? Who should not do it?
FDA-approved GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications have established safety profiles when prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician — but they are not for everyone. People with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, and certain patients with a history of pancreatitis or significant GI disease, are generally not candidates. The FDA has also warned about unapproved, compounded GLP-1 products sold for weight loss outside a medical relationship. Care here starts with labs and a physician evaluation precisely for this reason, not a checkout cart.
Are peptides for weight loss available in Las Vegas?
The "peptides" most people mean for weight loss are the GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications — semaglutide and tirzepatide — which are peptide-based drugs and the only weight-loss options with FDA approval. At LiveNow Longevity in Las Vegas these are prescribed by a board-certified MD after an $88 evaluation and labs, then dispensed by a licensed US pharmacy at pass-through cost. Research-only "weight loss peptides" sold online without a prescription are not FDA-approved for weight loss and are not something we recommend.
Do you take insurance? Can I use HSA or FSA funds?
LiveNow Longevity is a cash-pay medical practice and does not bill insurance — this is part of how medication is kept at pass-through cost with no markup. HSA and FSA funds are accepted for eligible medical services.
Is medical weight loss available by telehealth in Nevada?
Yes — Nevada residents can complete the evaluation and follow-ups by secure telehealth, with labs drawn at a location near you. In-person visits are available at our southeast Las Vegas clinic at Eastern Ave and the 215.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary by person and medication — trial averages are not promises and individual outcomes depend on your starting point, adherence, nutrition, sleep, and training. In the major trials, participants lost significant amounts of body weight with these medications alongside diet and activity over many months. We set honest, individual expectations at your evaluation rather than quoting a number off a billboard.
What are the side effects of GLP-1 weight-loss medication?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and reflux — and are usually mildest when dose is increased slowly and managed with hydration and diet. Less common effects and rare serious risks, such as gallbladder issues or pancreatitis, are screened for before you start and monitored throughout. Physician supervision is precisely how these are caught early.
What happens when I stop the medication?
Some weight regain is common after stopping if there is no maintenance plan, because these medications manage weight — they do not permanently reset it. That is why we build a maintenance strategy — nutrition, resistance training, and sometimes a lower maintenance dose — rather than leaving you on auto-refill indefinitely.
Where can I get weight loss help in Las Vegas?
Weight loss in Las Vegas starts with a physician evaluation at LiveNow Longevity, at 9975 S Eastern Ave Ste 130. A board-certified MD reviews your labs and history, then builds a plan — often an FDA-approved GLP-1 medication such as semaglutide or tirzepatide when appropriate — dispensed at pharmacy cost with no markup. The $88 evaluation is the first step, in person or by telehealth for Nevada residents.
