REBALANCE is SkinSpirit’s proprietary answer to doctor-supervised, medical weight loss.

We believe in realistic lifestyles, the REBALANCE diet regimen is not a “diet” at all. It is a live-healthy, eat-healthy medical weight loss program that encourages patients to eat real, nutritious foods from all food groups. This may require a change in eating habits, but it does not prevent patients from eating real foods obtained from their local grocer. Ultimately, REBALANCE’s small lifestyle changes can have a tremendous impact on your metabolism and your body’s natural ability to burn fat and build muscle. We offer this service at all five of our Northern California SkinSpirit locations.

What is REBALANCE?

REBALANCE is a medically supervised weight loss program designed by our physician and dieticians to help you safely and effectively lose 2-5 pounds a week.

How it works:

Our program was designed by Dr. Dean Vistnes, after years of research and planning.

All initial assessments are conducted by a Medical Assistant or Physician Assistant. During this visit, you will receive:

  • A detailed and comprehensive body composition analysis
  • A review of your medical health history
  • A customized nutrition and diet plan tailored specifically for you
  • Weekly B12 and Amino Acid fat burning injections

We also offer the option of medical-grade appetite suppressants to be dispensed from the office at no extra charge. Medications are not required for the REBALANCE program. The medication we typically prescribe is phentermine, an FDA-approved appetite suppressant that has been used for over 30 years to safely help curb your appetite during the acute weight loss phase of the program.

Next, a medical professional will start you on a sensible, balanced, low-calorie diet that is based on your weight loss goals and metabolic evaluation.

To track your success, you will come in for weekly visits. During these visits, you will have a weigh-in, a vital sign check, an optional injection of nutritional supplements (like Vitamin B12) and if appropriate, a refill for your appetite suppressant. Your progress will be reviewed—and we’ll supply you with suggestions and education material to aid you in your continued success.
