Medical Weight Loss in Miami | Tirzepatide & Retatrutide

Overview

About Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss at AMMA Aesthetics goes beyond willpower. Our physician-guided programs use advanced GLP-1 medications — Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) and the next-generation Retatrutide — combined with personalized support to help you lose weight safely and sustainably.

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that activates two incretin pathways for powerful results. It works by reducing appetite and cravings, slowing gastric emptying so you feel full longer, and helping regulate blood sugar.

For patients who want the most advanced option — or who have plateaued on other GLP-1 therapies — we also offer Retatrutide, a next-generation triple agonist that activates three pathways (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon). Prescribed off-label and closely physician-supervised, it has shown even higher potency than earlier GLP-1 medications in clinical research.

After a thorough health evaluation, we create a plan tailored to your body, lifestyle, and goals. Clinical studies show patients typically lose about 20–25% of body weight on Tirzepatide when paired with healthy lifestyle changes, with Retatrutide showing even greater results in early trials.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does medical weight loss cost in Miami?

Our medical weight-loss program is $349 for your first month, $449 for following months, or $1,275 for a 3-month package. Your plan and medication are confirmed at your consultation, where we provide a detailed cost breakdown.

How does Tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that activates two incretin pathways. It reduces appetite and hunger signals in the brain, slows gastric emptying so you feel full longer, and helps regulate blood sugar. Many patients also report reduced "food noise." It is administered as a simple once-weekly injection.

Who is a candidate for medical weight loss?

You may be a candidate if you have a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Ideal candidates have struggled to achieve lasting results through diet and exercise alone and are committed to sustainable lifestyle changes. Our providers assess your full medical history during your evaluation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Clinical trials show that patients on Tirzepatide lose an average of 20-25% of their body weight over 12-16 months, and early research on Retatrutide shows even greater results. Individual results vary based on adherence, lifestyle changes, and starting weight. We set realistic goals together.

Is medical weight loss safe?

Yes. Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved medication with extensive clinical trial data supporting its safety and efficacy, and Retatrutide is prescribed off-label under close physician supervision. At AMMA Aesthetics, all weight loss treatments are prescribed and monitored by licensed healthcare providers who conduct a thorough medical evaluation first. We use gradual dose titration and regular follow-ups to ensure your safety.

What's the difference between Tirzepatide and Retatrutide?

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that targets two hormone pathways. Retatrutide is a next-generation triple agonist that targets three pathways (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon), which early clinical research shows can lead to even greater weight loss. Retatrutide may be recommended for patients who want the most advanced option or who have plateaued on other GLP-1 therapies. Your provider will recommend the best option.

What is Retatrutide?

Retatrutide is a next-generation, triple-agonist medication that activates three metabolic pathways — GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon — compared with one or two for earlier options. Early clinical research shows it can produce even greater weight loss than earlier GLP-1 options. It is prescribed off-label and closely supervised by our providers, and may suit patients seeking the most advanced therapy or who have plateaued on other GLP-1 medications. Your provider will confirm whether it's right for you.

Are there side effects?

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — nausea, decreased appetite, diarrhea, constipation, and mild stomach discomfort. These are typically mild to moderate and improve as your body adjusts, especially with proper dose titration. Serious side effects are rare. We adjust dosing gradually to minimize side effects.

Do I need to diet and exercise too?

The medication works best alongside healthy nutrition and activity, which improves results and helps preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss. We don't require a specific regimen, but our providers will recommend activity levels appropriate for you — even moderate activity like walking 30 minutes daily can enhance your outcomes.

How long do I need to take weight loss medication?

Most patients are on a medical weight loss program between 3-12 months, though duration varies based on your goals and progress. Some patients choose to continue at a maintenance dose long-term. Your provider will work with you to develop a long-term plan, which may include gradually tapering the medication while reinforcing the healthy habits you've built.

Do you accept insurance for medical weight loss?

AMMA Aesthetics operates as a self-pay medical aesthetics practice and does not bill insurance directly for weight loss medications. We also offer membership pricing and 3-month packages to make treatment more affordable.

Do you offer financing for medical weight loss?

Yes. We accept Cherry, plus Affirm and Klarna buy-now-pay-later, which let you spread the cost of treatment over manageable monthly payments. AMMA membership also reduces your per-month cost — the AMMA Glow membership is $190/month and AMMA Lux is $399/month, with members saving on every service including medical weight loss.
