What Is Medical Weight Management?
Medical Weight Management is a comprehensive, evidence-based healthcare program designed to support healthy, sustainable weight management through individualized medical care, nutrition counseling, physical activity recommendations, lifestyle modification, and prescription medications when clinically appropriate.
At Blanqa Medspa, every patient receives a personalized evaluation based on their medical history, current health status, lifestyle, laboratory findings when indicated, and weight management goals. Your provider will determine whether medical weight management is appropriate for your individual needs and develop a customized treatment plan.
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on your clinical evaluation and wellness goals.

Are interested in medically supervised weight management
Have weight-related health concerns that may benefit from medical evaluation
Your healthcare provider will review your complete medical history to determine whether medical weight management is appropriate for your individual needs.
Prescription Weight Management Medications
When clinically appropriate, treatment may include FDA-approved prescription medications and other evidence-based therapies based on your medical history, clinical evaluation, and individualized treatment plan.

Important Safety Information
Medical weight management is a healthcare service that should only be provided following an appropriate medical evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider.
Prescription medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, may not be appropriate for every patient. Eligibility is determined following a review of your medical history, current medications, laboratory findings when indicated, and clinical evaluation.
As with all prescription medications, weight management therapies carry potential risks, side effects, contraindications, and alternatives, which will be discussed during your consultation.
Results vary by individual and cannot be guaranteed.
Successful long-term weight management requires ongoing lifestyle modification, including healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, and continued follow-up with your healthcare provider.
Compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety, effectiveness, or quality. When clinically appropriate, compounded medications may be prescribed and obtained from a licensed 503B outsourcing facility. Your provider will discuss the reason a compounded medication is being considered, along with its risks, benefits, and available alternatives before treatment.
During your consultation, Bianca Camille Fong, APRN, FNP-BC, will evaluate your medical history, current health status, lifestyle, and weight management goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.
