Medical Weight Loss in Las Vegas

Medically reviewed by Charles Kamen, MD, board-certified neurologist ·
Real medical weight loss is about more than the scale. It is about improving the metabolic markers that drive long-term health — body fat, blood sugar (A1C), LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and liver fat. At LiveNow Longevity in Las Vegas, weight management is built around measurable metabolic improvement, not just pounds lost. Dr. Charles Kamen, MD, a board-certified neurologist, supervises every protocol personally, and each program begins with comprehensive lab work so progress is tracked by data, not guesswork.
FDA-approved GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications — such as semaglutide and tirzepatide — act on the gut-brain pathways that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. In published clinical trials, this medication class has been associated with significant reductions in body weight and visceral fat, along with improvements in blood sugar control, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and liver fat. Which medication is appropriate for you is determined only after a complete medical evaluation and lab work — never from a checkout form.
The approach is individualized and physician-led from start to finish. We focus on fat loss and muscle preservation, not just total body weight, because losing weight the wrong way can lean heavily on muscle you want to keep. Nutrition, activity, and follow-up lab work are built into your plan, and Dr. Kamen monitors your markers, adjusts dosing, and re-checks labs over time. Telemedicine consultations are available for Nevada residents, with in-person care at our southeast Las Vegas clinic at Eastern Avenue and the 215.
How Medical Weight Loss Works Here
Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. GLP-1/GIP medications are used alongside nutrition and activity changes, not as a substitute for them.

FDA-Approved Medication Options Compared
Both medications below are FDA-approved and available now after an evaluation. Specific dose strengths and titration schedules are determined by Dr. Kamen at your visit — by policy this page does not list doses.
For the full mechanism-by-mechanism breakdown, see our semaglutide and tirzepatide pages.
What About Retatrutide?
Retatrutide is an investigational triple-receptor agonist (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon) that has drawn heavy attention for its Phase 3 trial results — but it is not FDA-approvedand cannot be dispensed as a standard prescription anywhere, including Las Vegas. Any product sold online as “research use only” retatrutide is not manufactured or tested for human use, and we strongly recommend against it.
What you can do today is start physician-guided care with FDA-approved options, and ask Dr. Kamen in person where retatrutide stands. Read our full physician-reviewed guide to retatrutide in Las Vegas for the trial data, 2026 approval outlook, and access details.
Weight Management in Las Vegas
If you are searching for medical weight loss in Las Vegas, Henderson, Green Valley, or Summerlin, LiveNow Longevity is a local physician practice — not a national online prescriber. Care is delivered in person at our southeast Las Vegas clinic at Eastern Avenue and the 215, or by secure telehealth anywhere in Nevada. That matters because responsible GLP-1/GIP care depends on real follow-up: lab work, dose adjustments, and a physician who knows your metabolic picture over time.
Nevada residents can begin with a secure telehealth evaluation and complete labs at a draw station near them, with in-person visits whenever preferred. Whether you are managing weight for metabolic health, pre-procedure goals, or long-term wellness, the protocol is the same: physician-supervised, labs-first, individualized, and tracked by data.
Weight Management in Las Vegas — FAQ
How much does medical weight loss cost in Las Vegas?
At LiveNow Longevity, you start with an $88 physician evaluation with board-certified neurologist Dr. Charles Kamen, MD — and that $88 is applied toward your plan if you continue. Medication is then billed at pharmacy pass-through cost with no markup, meaning you pay exactly what the licensed US pharmacy charges. Your real monthly number depends on the medication and dose selected for you, and it is reviewed in person before you commit to anything. No hidden subscriptions.
How fast does medical weight loss work?
Appetite and early changes often come within the first weeks; measurable weight change typically builds over the first few months at the target dose. Individual results vary widely and depend on your starting health, adherence to nutrition and activity guidance, and your individual response to treatment. Dr. Kamen tracks your progress with follow-up labs and adjusts your plan based on your actual response — not a fixed schedule.
Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide — which is right for me?
Both are FDA-approved GLP-1-pathway medications. Semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor; tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Which fits you depends on your history, labs, tolerability, and goals — decided after an evaluation, not from a chart. See our physician-reviewed semaglutide and tirzepatide pages for the full breakdown, and Dr. Kamen will recommend the option that fits you in person.
Is physician-supervised medical weight loss safe?
FDA-approved GLP-1/GIP medications have established safety profiles when prescribed and monitored by a licensed physician, and are appropriate for many adults. The most common effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, delayed stomach emptying, appetite suppression — which is exactly why dosing is titrated slowly and monitored. Rarer but serious effects and contraindications (such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2) are discussed during your evaluation. This is why care starts with a physician, not a checkout cart.
Do you offer telehealth medical weight loss in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada residents can complete the evaluation and follow-up visits by secure telehealth, with labs drawn at a location near you. In-person visits are available at our southeast Las Vegas clinic at Eastern Avenue and the 215. Either way, care is physician-supervised end to end.
Do you offer medical weight loss near me — Henderson, Summerlin, or Las Vegas?
Yes. LiveNow Longevity serves Las Vegas, Henderson, Green Valley, Summerlin, and all of Nevada — in person at our clinic at Eastern Avenue and the 215, or by secure telehealth anywhere in the state. If you are searching for medical weight loss near you in the Las Vegas valley, we are a local physician practice, not a national online prescriber.
Compounded vs. FDA-approved GLP-1 medications — what do you use?
FDA-approved medications (such as branded semaglutide and tirzepatide) are manufactured, tested, and labeled under FDA oversight. Compounded versions are produced by compounding pharmacies and are not FDA-approved. At LiveNow Longevity, Dr. Kamen determines what is clinically appropriate for you after your evaluation and labs, and we are transparent with you about exactly which medication you are receiving and why.
Will I lose muscle on a medical weight loss program?
Some weight-loss approaches can lean heavily on muscle loss, which is exactly what we work to avoid. Every protocol pairs medication with nutrition and activity guidance aimed at preserving lean muscle while reducing body fat and visceral fat. Progress is tracked by lab work and body composition — not just the number on the scale — so improvements in metabolic markers (A1C, lipids, blood pressure, liver fat) are measured, not assumed.
What health markers can improve beyond the scale?
Medically supervised weight loss with GLP-1/GIP medications has been associated in clinical studies with reductions in body fat and visceral fat, A1C (blood sugar), LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and liver fat — beyond body weight alone. Dr. Kamen tracks these markers with baseline and follow-up lab work so improvement is measured, not assumed. Individual results vary.
