Success is Not a Number on the Scale

A healthy life isn't built overnight

Emotional eating, stress, frequent travel, and poor sleep quality can all make it an uphill battle. If you find yourself aiming for a certain weight that is impossible to maintain and it makes you miserable trying to get there, then that's not your “Ideal Weight.”

At Xthetics Face & Body Sculpt, we believe your ideal weight should not be a goal, but a consequence of long-term positive changes in your health and lifestyle. In fact, managing your weight will be a lifelong process—so you need sustainable and realistic long-term solutions. There are also underlying genetic and medical factors that affect how people gain and store weight. But one thing is for sure: the “diet and exercise” formula for weight management is a thing of the past.

Obesity is a real, chronic medical condition, and effective evidence-based treatment options are available to you. With proper support from our highly trained experts, you can take control of your health. We have gathered all you need to win this battle with our SCULPTD by Xthetics Program.

Your ideal weight is a consequence of achieving a healthy lifestyle you can truly enjoy.

Take Control of Your Health and Appearance

SCULPTD by Xthetics helps members by:

Supporting the development of confidence in overcoming barriers
Supporting the development of intrinsic motivation
Encouraging the patient to set and sequence health goals that are realistic and achievable
Teaching patients to self-monitor behaviour
Teaching patients to analyse set-backs using problem-solving and adaptive thinking

People that struggle with their weight often have a complicated relationship with food. As an example, they may rely on food for comfort or have difficulty making healthy choices when their stomach starts to grumble. Some days, it feels easier to reach for processed snack foods or order takeout, causing inches to accumulate around the waistline and the numbers to creep up on the scale. They may also find it challenging to stick to a healthy plan without someone holding them accountable.

SCULPTD by Xthetics takes the guesswork out of the equation, giving individuals powerful tools and insights they can use in their daily lives to implement positive changes.

Medical Weight Loss Consultation and Preparation

Get Motivated

Before entering the program, you will complete a series of Intake Forms to ensure you are a perfect fit for the program. During your initial consultation, you'll meet with Sculptd doctors and registered nurses for a comprehensive evaluation to create a picture of your current health, identify the root causes of weight gain, identify barriers that have been halting your efforts, discuss your goals, and receive a personalized plan that may include medications, behavioral therapy, nutrition, and physical activity support.

Vectra 3D Photos

If you choose to do so, a SCULPTD nurse takes your photos using cutting-edge Vectra imaging software, the world’s first 3D total-body imaging solution. Vectra allows you to view your current body circumference and volumetric measurements and will serve as an invaluable tool in your journey toward a healthier you as you advance through the SCULPTD program.

InBody Scan

This is a body composition analysis performed by our RN that will provide your doctor with important information about your health. You can choose to review the results with your Nurse or leave it only for the doctors. Built with speed and accuracy in mind, our high-tech InBody scanner instantly calculates your body fat percentage, water weight, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, and basal metabolic rate. The process is non-invasive and takes just two minutes. During future InBody Scans, you can monitor changes to your body composition over time. It is an extra tool to validate how the SCULPTD program is working for you as an individual. The ability to track your progress will provide you with a wellspring of motivation to keep you headed in the right direction.

Your initial assessment with a physician includes:

Comprehensive history to identify root causes of weight gain
Identify complications of obesity
Identify potential barriers to treatment
Obesity-focused history & physical exam
Prescription of obesity medications and adjuncts

The SCULPTD Process

Here is a quick overview of what the next six to twelve months look like for SCULPTD participants:

Initial Assessment

A consultation with the doctor is the first step. During the initial 45-minute visit, the doctor will obtain your medical history, order blood work, and ask about specific lifestyle and health factors that may influence your weight. The doctors at Xthetics are compassionate listeners and provide a judgement-free zone in which you will feel comfortable voicing your goals and concerns. They may also prescribe medication and provide you with a referral to see the pharmacist. Your doctor will also issue a prescription for Get Active and Constant Health programs for immediate access to a Registered Dietitian and Health Coach.

A registered nurse will also meet you to take your weight and measurements. Xthetics provides all SCULPTD members with Vectra 3D photos and a body composition analysis with the InBody Scan. These technologies allow clients to clearly visualize their starting point so they can easily track their progress over time.

Consultation with the Pharmacist

At your second appointment, you will meet with the pharmacist to receive medications and advice on how to take them. They will help you complete insurance coverage and copay program applications if necessary.

Assessment by the Psychologist

You will attend sessions with our program's Psychologist in order to identify issues that may affect your success in the program and provide a psychological treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Assessment by Registered Dietitian

You will see our Dietitian at least four times during the program to receive nutrition counseling, meal planning assistance, education in mindful eating skills and support for habit building & behavioral change.

Assessment by our Exercise Physiologist

Our exercise physiologist will collect your physical activity history, evaluate your fitness level, identify comorbidities that may impact or limit physical activity and provide a yearly physical exercise plan aligned with Obesity Canada guidelines and tailored to your lifestyle.
