A Physician-Led Approach to Weight Management at Davis Dermatology

Davis Dermatology has served the Sacramento and Davis community for more than a decade, and that same standard of care extends to weight management. The practice was founded by Dr. Earlyn Noll, a board-certified dermatologist known for personalized, education-focused treatment plans grounded in lab work and an honest look at what's realistic for each patient. Schedule a consultation to find out if physician-guided weight management is right for you.

What Are Weight Loss Shots?

Weight loss shots use prescription medication to support the body's natural hunger and metabolism signals. At Davis Dermatology, treatment is built around Zepbound (tirzepatide), a once-weekly injectable that targets two hormone pathways involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. This approach can help reduce cravings and support gradual, sustainable weight loss alongside everyday lifestyle changes.

Benefits of Weight Loss Shots

Patients working with Dr. Noll's team may notice:
Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
More consistent energy throughout the day
Support for healthier blood sugar levels
Gradual, sustainable weight loss over time
A treatment plan tailored to personal health goals
Ongoing monitoring from a dedicated clinical team

Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Loss Shots?

Zepbound may be a good fit for adults with a higher body mass index, or those managing insulin resistance or other metabolic concerns, who haven't seen lasting results from diet and exercise alone. It isn't appropriate for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a personal or family history of certain thyroid conditions. Candidacy is confirmed through lab work and a one-on-one consultation with the Davis Dermatology team.

Why Choose Davis Dermatology for Weight Loss Shots?

As a physician-owned dermatology practice, every weight management plan at Davis Dermatology is developed under Dr. Noll's direct oversight, based on lab work and each patient's individual health profile. That same commitment to personalized, physician-led care has earned Davis Dermatology a longstanding reputation as one of the region's most trusted dermatology practices.

Your Consultation

A consultation for weight loss shots begins with a physical exam and lab work to establish a baseline for your metabolic health. From there, the clinical team reviews your results, discusses your goals, and determines whether Zepbound is an appropriate fit. Patients who move forward receive guidance on dosing, administration, and what to expect in the weeks ahead.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of weight loss shots varies based on your dosing schedule and the length of your treatment plan. Pricing is reviewed in detail during your consultation, once your plan has been personalized to your goals.

What to Expect During Weight Loss Shot Treatment

Initial Evaluation and Lab Work

Every treatment plan starts with a physical exam and bloodwork to confirm candidacy and rule out contraindications. This step allows the clinical team to tailor your starting dose to your specific health profile.

Weekly Dosing

Zepbound is a once-weekly injection. Patients who self-administer at home receive hands-on instruction on proper technique, dosage, and storage before starting treatment.

Ongoing Follow-Up

Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled every four to six weeks so the clinical team can track progress, adjust dosing if needed, and answer questions along the way.

Weight Loss Shots Recovery

There's no downtime after a weight loss injection, and most patients return to their normal routine right away. Many notice reduced appetite within the first couple of weeks, though individual timelines vary.

Weight loss with Zepbound tends to happen gradually rather than all at once, which supports more sustainable results. Consistent habits, like balanced meals and regular movement, can help results last.

Weight Loss Shots Results

Results vary from patient to patient, but many people using Zepbound begin to notice changes within the first one to two months, with more visible progress by the three to six month mark. Pairing treatment with lifestyle guidance helps support results that last well beyond the initial course of care.

Zepbound is FDA-approved and administered under medical supervision at Davis Dermatology. Every patient is evaluated through lab work and a consultation before starting treatment to help ensure it's an appropriate and safe fit.

What side effects might I experience with Zepbound?

Some patients experience nausea, constipation, or fatigue, particularly when starting treatment or adjusting doses. These symptoms often improve over time, and the clinical team monitors patients closely to manage any discomfort.

Every patient's plan is different. Long-term success typically depends on the lifestyle habits built during treatment, and the clinical team will help you plan for what comes after your initial course of care.

Will other medications I take affect my treatment?

The clinical team reviews your current medications and health history during your consultation to check for possible interactions before starting Zepbound.
