For many, achieving weight loss can be a difficult journey, even with diet and exercise. At Viva Skin Lounge, we offer a medically-supported weight loss program that utilizes both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, two breakthrough medications that can help you reach your goals. Under the care of our nurse practitioner, Michele, we tailor each program to meet your specific needs, ensuring you get the best results possible.
What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are game-changers in the world of weight loss. Originally developed for managing type 2 diabetes, they are now widely recognized for their significant impact on weight reduction.
- Semaglutide: This FDA-approved medication works by regulating blood sugar levels and suppressing appetite, which leads to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It slows digestion, so you feel full longer, and helps you make healthier choices.
- Tirzepatide: Tirzepatide goes a step further by combining the effects of two hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that control blood sugar, appetite, and fat metabolism. This dual-action approach helps enhance insulin sensitivity and curbs hunger, making it an even more effective option for certain individuals.
Benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for Weight Loss
Both medications have shown remarkable success in helping people lose weight and improve their overall health:
- Significant Weight Loss: Clinical trials have shown that individuals can lose up to 15-22% of their body weight with these medications.
- Improved Health Metrics: They help lower blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, and improve cardiovascular health.
- Sustainable Results: Both medications promote long-lasting weight loss by working with your body’s natural hunger signals and regulating metabolism.

Client Success Stories: Real Transformations
At Viva Skin Lounge, we’ve seen incredible transformations in our clients using Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. Here are a couple of examples that showcase the power of these medications:
A review from one of our clients: ATTENTION LADIES & GENTLEMEN! I’m here to tell you from experience I’ve done everything under the sun to lose weight, from lipo to hypnosis etc. Viva has a weight loss program that is simple , efficient and effective and affordable. Michelle (NP) has helped me with my journey. I have lost 25+ lbs in 5 months. No struggle involved. The girls at Viva Skin Lounge are professional and knowledgeable with all the services they provide. They stay on top of their education with all the latest and greatest services to help a person feel and look great. Their Boss, Lindsey, has all state of the art equipment for her girls to give their clients top of the line treatments and service. As long as there’s Viva I don’t mind getting older!!!!
Our owner and aesthetic nurse, Lindsay’s story: My weight loss journey has been nothing short of transformative, thanks to our semaglutide weight loss program. Losing 35 pounds has been an incredible achievement, but I knew I wanted to go further in sculpting my body. That’s why I opted for PCDC injections to tackle stubborn fat on my back, Morpheus8 for skin tightening and Radiesse to maintain the natural plumpness in my booty. These treatments, combined with the weight loss, made a visible difference in smoothing out cellulite and giving me a more contoured, confident look.
At Viva Skin Lounge, I strongly believe in a multi-modality approach for the best results. I only offer services that I personally have tried and trust. My goal is to make these life-changing treatments accessible and affordable to our community because I believe everyone deserves to look and feel their best. We don’t just promise results — we live them.
Our aesthetic nurse, Jessica’s story: As Jessica was approaching her 40th birthday this November, she found herself at a personal crossroads. Weighing more than she ever had and feeling drained of energy, she knew it was time for a change. Determined to reclaim her health and vitality, she embarked on a comprehensive journey with our weight loss program. Over the course of 7-8 months, she dropped from 170 pounds to 130 pounds, and has successfully maintained her weight ever since.But Jessica didn’t stop there—her transformation included more than just weight loss. She embraced a holistic approach to self-care by incorporating multiple treatments. She opted for full-face neurotoxin (tox) treatments and facial balancing with fillers and biostimulators to restore natural contours. She also underwent Morpheus8 for body tightening and even used fat-dissolving injections under her chin to refine her appearance.
Jessica’s dedication to her well-being has been life-changing. Today, she says she feels healthier and more energized than she did in her 20s, and her transformation reflects the power of combining personalized treatments with a focused weight loss plan.
Our Nurse Practitioner, Michele’s story: My weight has never been a problem. That is until I had two children 18 months apart in my mid thirties, worked 12-hour shifts, had no time to workout, and went back to school for my master’s degree during COVID and while having two kids. My weight just kept increasing and I just kept telling myself … give yourself a break you just had a baby.” I repeated this until it was not a valid excuse any longer. I took my before pictures almost one year after having my second child. I did not even recognize myself. I was so happy just being a mother and taking care of my babies that I forgot to take care of myself. I felt sluggish, uncomfortable in clothes, I had no self esteem, and I was very unmotivated.
Taking Semaglutide was the best decision I ever made. It gave me the push I needed to get back on track. I am now back to the weight I was before I had kids. I can now run around with them and not be short of breath, and I feel amazing. I went from a size 6 (some brands 8) to a size 4 (some brands 2). The GLP1 peptide has allowed me to slow down and become more conscious of what I am eating. My portion control has improved, and my snacking is minimal. I do not starve myself and I do not deprive myself of what I love. I still eat pasta, and I still have a price of cake. I just eat a side of pasta with chicken instead of an entire plate, and I have a small piece of cake without the ice cream.
Exercise is important, yes, but for me it was food. I don’t have a problem working out (finding the time is hard) but I enjoy it for the most part. For me it was all about portion control and adding in more nutritious foods.
I am currently the nurse practitioner here running the weight loss program using both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. I started doing this job only part time at first, but when I saw the impact it was having on so many people, I wanted more. Thankfully, the owner at Viva Skin Lounge was willing to take me on full time and I have never looked back. This is what I was meant to do. I am so passionate about helping others feel better about themselves. The number on the scale is not my focus!
It is all about the way you feel.
Our client, Holly’s story: I endured multiple health issues and surgeries over the past 6 years resulting in my heaviest weight ever!!! I’m 43 years old and suffer from 3 major conditions: systemic lupus, Sjogren’s autoimmune disorder, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. My body is in a constant state of inflammation. It was difficult working out due to all the joint pain, then I ended up needing major shoulder surgery in 2022, both knees fixed last year, then an unexpected breast scare with surgery to follow. I found myself in a state of depression with not being able to lose weight with diet alone since I couldn’t exercise. After discussing with my doctor about trying semaglutide, I met with Michele, the nurse practitioner at Viva Skin Lounge in March. She is absolutely amazing! She came up with a treatment plan for me and I have lost 50 pounds since March. I meet with her once a month for rechecks and have lost weight safely each month with no real side effects. She gave me my life back! I’m happier, healthier, and less PAINFUL in my joints!!! It may not be for everyone, but it has helped me tremendously.”
Our aesthetic nurse, Samantha’s story: From 2020 to 2023 I lost 50 pounds with only being in a calorie deficit and exercise. My highest weight was 232 and I didn’t even recognize myself anymore. My body hit a plateau around November of this year and I was SO frustrated because I was doing all the things possible to lose the extra 20 pounds I wanted to lose… and then came semaglutide i and helped my body in every way possible. I am officially down 86 pounds from 2020.
Overall, I feel more natural looking, more refreshed, and more confident in my skin.
2018 – If I could give the girl in the second picture a huge hug, I would squeeze the shit out of her. She was tiredddd, stressed, insecure, and just going through the motions.
2024 – I have a career doing what I love and something that I worked so hard for, the best tight circle of friends, amazing parents and family, and an incredible man in my life who has elevated it in every way possible
It’s crazy what some good injectables and taking care of your body can do.
