Neurotoxins

Botox - $11 per unit
Xeomin - $10 per unit

Let’s face it, no one enjoys the negative effects of aging.

There are many aspects of the aging process that we cannot stop or slow down.  There are, however, some things that will dramatically halt the appearance of aging, particularly in the face.  Neurotoxin is one such remedy.  It works by decreasing muscle activity in the face, thereby preventing wrinkling of the skin.  The face is packed with muscles that allow us to show a multitude of expressions. As we age, we lose the elasticity that helps our skin flatten out again or rebound after wrinkling from smiling, frowning or raising our eyebrows.  Over time, with the loss of our normal elasticity, normal facial expression can cause permanent wrinkles.  This is where neurotoxin comes in.  With the appropriate use, Neurotoxins (such as Botox and Xeomin) can prevent our facial muscles from contacting so fiercely as to cause wrinkling.  The art of using neurotoxins is providing this youth sparing treatment without preventing expressions that are vital to human connection and communication.  

At Zero Gravity, we use our extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and years of experience in medicine along with an artful eye to provide you with safe and effective neurotoxin treatment that will last for months and prevent permanent wrinkles.  Check out some of our past successes.

Medical Weight Loss

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide - Starts at $20/week

I do not believe there is a single person on this planet that enjoys being overweight.

In my career as a Physician Assistant, I have seen a lot of heartache and pain caused by obesity.  I’ve seen people literally turn into diabetics from years of living overweight.  I’ve seen patients dealing with heart disease, kidney failure and a host of other horrible diseases from obesity.  I’ve heard the stories of the struggles people have trying to lose weight.  No two people are the same in their struggles and there is a lot of frustration out there from failing diets, lack of progress in exercise programs, fads and gimmicks.  Fortunately, it’s not all bad news.  A class of medicine called GLP1 agonists developed to fight diabetes also promote weight loss at healthy and sustainable levels.  GLP1s are naturally found in the body.  They are what tell your brain you are full after you’ve eaten a meal.  They work by doing a few things:

  • Decreasing appetite by tricking your brain into thinking you are more full than you are and slowing the emptying of the stomach so your food stays there longer.

  • Increasing insulin production which allows your body to utilize circulating sugar better

  • Prevents the liver from producing glucose (sugar).

Many people are doing what they can to lose weight but have either hit a plateau or just can’t seem to get started.  GLP1s like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are a great way to augment your weight loss program and supercharge your trajectory to a new you.  We also offer a combo of Semaglutide and L-Carnatine as an option.  L-Carnatine is a known and proven fat burner and is a great additive, boosting performance.  

The treatments are given as injections once a week in the fat layer of the abdomen with a hypodermic needle like the ones diabetes use.  The needle is so fine and short that most people don’t even feel it.  We start at a small dose to safely gauge how you tolerate the medicine and how effective it is at the smallest dose possible.  If you are losing a target weight of 1.5-2lbs/week, then we stay at that dose.  If you are not losing weight or below target weight loss, then we increase the dose slightly until we reach our target.  

Semaglutide for weight loss is not for everyone.  People that want to get more defined or are only a few pounds overweight should not use Semaglutide for weight loss. To see if you are a good candidate for Semaglutide, make an appointment to see us and let's discuss your individual needs and desires.  You don’t have to settle for being overweight anymore!

Hormone Replacement Therapy (For Men)

Pricing starting at $150 (includes labs)

If you’re a man trying to figure out why you have lost your drive, can’t keep muscle or muscle tone, have low libido, and are just plain feeling your age, maybe you could benefit from hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Many of you are familiar with the statistic that after 30, a man’s testosterone level starts going down.  By the 40s-50’s there can be a dramatic decrease.  The effects are widespread and can just make you feel old.  What if a new, more youthful you was only a couple weeks away?  What if replacing your testosterone could give you back some of your youth, decrease joint pain and stiffness, increase your libido, and energize you daily?  HRT is a very popular way to reverse some of the effects of aging.  There are clinics everywhere offering treatment but how do you know if you qualify?  It’s not as simple as just checking your total testosterone and starting injections.  To be honest, any clinic that offers HRT should be testing multiple facets of your endocrine system.  This will assure that you are a good and safe candidate.  At Zero Gravity, we will order a comprehensive panel to assure we treat you safely and effectively.  We are not a testosterone mill.  We take pride in being thorough and taking care of patients as individuals.  I have been a Physician Assistant for almost 20 years and understand the complexities of the human body, and in particular, the endocrine system and I will tailor make a treatment plan for your specific individual needs.  Make an appointment with me and lets get you back on track to a healthier, more youthful man.
