What if you could fit into your jeans and love the way you look in the mirror? What if you could get down on the floor to play with your grandkids, then get right back up with ease? What if you could greet each day with greater energy and confidence?
With our medical weight loss program in Abilene, you can—and you don’t have to skip the slice of chocolate cake on your birthday to make it happen.
At Healthtec, we believe weight loss should be safe, sustainable, and tailored to you. That’s why we combine physician oversight with advanced, evidence-based technology to help you shed unwanted pounds and build muscle faster than diet and exercise alone. And best of all, the results don’t just come quickly; we help you keep them long after treatment ends.
What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Tired of the endless cycle of dieting and working out in the gym, only to see little to no progress? Frustrated by those extra pounds that won’t seem to budge, no matter what you do? That’s where medical weight loss comes in.
Medical weight loss is a nonsurgical approach to weight loss that gives traditional dieting and exercise a clinical boost. Under physician guidance, your doctor tailors your treatment plan to you, helping you lose weight safely and effectively. Medical weight loss programs may also include advanced, cutting-edge technologies to accelerate progress.
This results in noticeable improvements, so you can stay motivated and enjoy your new energy and confidence sooner.
But medical weight loss programs differ from each other. Doctors have their own approaches and philosophies, so choosing the right one for you matters. At Healthtec, we’re committed to taking the time to get to know you, so we can provide treatments that help you live the highest quality of life possible.
A Whole Mind-Body Wellness Approach
At Healthtec, our mind-body-wellness approach means we treat the whole you. We don’t just focus on aesthetics—we help you build lasting habits and set the stage for long-term health.
One of Dr. Finley’s greatest philosophies when it comes to medical weight loss involves helping patients not lose muscle during the process. If you lose muscle mass while losing fat, but gain that fat back, you can end up with more weight on a less muscular frame, leading to a more uncomfortable and difficult daily life.
That’s why our medical weight loss program goes beyond helping you lose weight. Our program also increases muscle growth, improves mental well-being, and enhances skin health. We also provide education to help you achieve sustainable results.
Inside our weight loss program in Abilene, we offer:
- Weight loss injections to regulate appetite and accelerate fat loss.
- Emsculpt NEO treatments for body contouring.
- Exomind treatments to curb cravings and binge eating.
- Comprehensive medical evaluations to tailor your treatments to your health needs.
- Nutritional guidance based on your unique biology and lifestyle.
- Exercise support for building strength and energy.
We also recommend Exion Body Wand sessions to tighten skin following weight loss, restore elasticity, and refine your body’s contours.
Weight Loss Injections
A common component of effective medical weight loss programs, weight loss injections target stubborn weight by regulating appetite and reducing the urge to overeat. Weight loss injections also help treat conditions like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Rather than relying on willpower alone, injections help make losing weight more effective and sustainable.
How Weight Loss Injections Work
Our weight loss injection, Tirzepatide, mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1. It also activates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors.
Together, GLP-1 and GIP performs a variety of functions in the body, including:
- Suppressing appetite and decreasing cravings
- Regulating insulin and keeping blood sugar from spiking after meals
- Delaying digestion, making patients feel fuller for longer
Weight loss injections also help reduce visceral fat, or fat stored inside and around organs, leading to better insulin sensitivity and a leaner appearance.
Combined with lifestyle changes, injections support meaningful, steady weight loss. As pounds begin to fall off, metabolism improves, leading to further weight loss. Patients also experience more consistent daily energy and increased motivation as results build over time.
Our Approach to Weight Loss Injections
At Healthtec, our unique approach to weight loss injections provides even greater advantages for our patients. By adjusting how we administer injections, we can reduce side effects, provide a gentler—rather than dramatic—introduction to appetite control, and make it easier to stay consistent with our weight loss program in Abilene.
But weight loss injections aren’t a stand-alone fix. That’s why we pair them with advanced technology treatments and educational support for better, long-lasting results.
Emsculpt NEO
When taking weight loss injections, the weight that is lost is not only fat mass, but also muscle mass. That’s why we look beyond just the number on the scale, as muscle mass is key to keeping the weight off. Muscle offers greater definition for your body, protects your joints, and supports a healthy metabolism. WIth a boosted metabolism, you can also burn more fat and expedite your weight loss journey.
With Emsculpt NEO, you can improve muscle strength and melt away stubborn fat at the same time for improved outcomes with our weight loss program in Abilene.
How Emsculpt NEO Works
Emsculpt NEO uses dual-action radiofrequency (RF) heating and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy in a single treatment.
The RF heating targets fat cells, triggering apoptosis, or cell death. Then, targeted HIFEM energy stimulates “supramaximal” (more than the body can accomplish on its own) contractions to build muscle. Together, this reduces fat and increases strength for a more toned look.
With quick, in-office treatments and no downtime, Emsculpt NEO makes weight loss more effective, comfortable, and easy. Emsculpt NEO also breaks down the lactic acid in your muscles that would usually make you sore after a workout. Many people experience no soreness at all and can return immediately to normal activities after treatment.

Exomind
Even with advanced treatments to reduce fat and build muscle, without proper motivation or mental fortitude, progress can reverse. That’s why a great weight loss strategy starts with a great mindset. To reduce binge eating and food cravings, we recommend Exomind.
How Exomind Works
Just like we exercise to strengthen our muscles, Exomind helps strengthen the mind. The revolutionary science of Exomind uses a magnetic field to stimulate neurons (nerve cells) in the brain.
The treatment improves the brain’s function and reduces symptoms of:
- Food Cravings
- Binge Eating
- Depression
- Anxiety
- PTSD
- OCD
- Addictions
- Brain fog
With stronger mental health, you can tackle your weight loss goals with clarity and energy.
Diet and Nutrition Support
At Healthtec, we know weight loss is a long-term investment. That’s why we provide all the knowledge and encouragement you need to maintain your healthy lifestyle. With scientifically backed diet and nutrition awareness, our program sets you up for success—throughout your treatment and well beyond.
Additional Treatment: Exion Body
As fat reduces, skin can start sagging without volume underneath to support it.
With Exion, we can tighten the skin and reduce fat around targeted areas like the bra line, saddlebags, and inner thighs.
How Exion Works
The combined RF heating & ultrasound energy from the Exion Body device melts fat cells while encouraging collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.
Here’s a breakdown of how that rejuvenates the skin:
- Collagen, a structural protein, enhances your skin’s firmness.
- Elastin, another structural protein, helps your skin stay flexible.
- Hyaluronic acid moisturizes and hydrates the skin, adding volume and lift.
Together, these components help tighten, hydrate, and plump the skin while RF energy shrinks fat cells.
This helps improve concerns like:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Crepey skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Loose skin
Keeping Track of Your Progress With Styku & Inbody
Styku, an innovative body scanning technology, takes 3D images of your body. With the 3D model, we can visually track changes, like inches lost around the whole torso, to help keep our patients motivated.
We also also use Inbody to gather accurate measures of muscle and fat percentages and track body composition changes over time.
At the beginning of your medical weight loss program in Abilene, we use Styku & Inbody to get a baseline of your starting body composition. This helps us tailor the weight loss program to your needs. Throughout the program, we take routine measurements again to track your progress! This helps us keep track of patient commitment and if we should adjust or pivot our recommendations each month.
