comprehensive weight loss care

HPC at Commonwealth vitality and wellness institute in richmond, Virginia

Human Performance Clinic (HPC) at Advanced Aesthetics USA provides you with the tools to succeed in achieving sustainable weight loss.  In addition to expedited prior authorization processing for weight loss medications, we provide comprehensive, transformative care across all stages of the weight loss journey. Our model encourages longer and more thorough patient visits so that we set patients up for maximum success and minimal side effects when using weight loss medications. With Advanced Aesthetics USA we are also able to address common concerns about muscle tone and loose skin during and after weight loss. 

Our members progress is tracked by our medical grade german manufactured body composition analyzer.  The composition reports are accessible by you and are emailed to you at every visit.   Members also have access to our nutrition and exercise PROAPP for their Iphone or Android device. 

We specialize in tapering down the dosage of weight loss medications, transitioning to other weight loss medications and maintaining weight loss with and without microdosing.

In addition to the use of our medical and procedural interventions, we emphasize the importance of diet, exercise and mental health at every visit/contact. For individuals without insurance coverage (or those denied prescription medication coverage by their insurance company), we offer compounding pharmacy solutions that follow Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) guidelines. Specifically, we work with compounding pharmacies that are accredited, FDA-regulated, and that follow current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) as recommended by the OMA.
