Medical Weight Loss · Chicago
A weight loss program that begins with medicine, and continues with you.
For 45 years, families across Chicago have trusted us with their skin and their health. Now, with the same hands-on approach, we treat the medical condition of obesity — with science, supervision, and the kind of personal care that has defined our practice for two generations.
Real patient · Chicago Skin Clinic
A real transformation, in real time. Supervised every step of the way.
01. Real Patients
Eight stories. Eight bodies. Real changes.
These are actual patients of Chicago Skin Clinic, photographed before and during their program. Results are not guarantees. Every body is different — some patients see more change, some less. What we promise is the same medicine, the same supervision, and the same honest conversation about what is and isn't possible.
02. How It Works
Medicine that works with your biology, not against it.
Weight loss medicine isn't a shortcut. It's a tool — and like any medical tool, it works best when used carefully, by people who know what they're doing.
The prescription medication used in this program belongs to a class that helps regulate appetite and metabolism. It works by slowing how quickly your stomach empties, blunting the hunger signals that drive overeating, and helping your body use blood sugar more effectively.
For many patients, the experience feels like getting their appetite back to a reasonable place — not an absence of hunger, but the absence of the constant, distracting noise that makes weight loss feel impossible. With that noise quieted, the lifestyle changes we recommend actually become possible to follow.
It is medicine, not magic. It works best alongside thoughtful nutrition, regular movement, and adequate sleep. Stopping the medication without a maintenance plan often leads to weight regain. We talk about that openly with every patient.
03. Why We Built This Program
Weight is rarely just a number.
For most of our patients, weight is tied to how they feel in their own body, how much energy they have for the people they love, and how confidently they move through their day. Treating it well means treating it as the medical condition it is — not as a discount product or a 30-day fad.
Our program is built around a simple idea: medicine works best when a real physician knows your name, knows your history, and is genuinely paying attention. Every prescription is written by a board-certified physician, every dose adjustment is a clinical decision, and every patient is a person we expect to see again.
That's not a marketing line. It's how we've practiced medicine here since 1980.
04. Two Paths, Same Medicine
Choose the program that fits your life.
Our patients have different schedules, different goals, and different comfort levels with in-office care. We offer two ways into the same medical program — both supervised by the same physician, both held to the same clinical standards.
Path One — The at-home program
For the patient who wants medical supervision without weekly office visits.
- Initial in-person evaluation with the physician
- Comprehensive baseline laboratory testing
- Personalized prescription delivered to your home, monthly
- Regular structured check-ins from our care team
- Repeat laboratory testing during the program
- Direct access to our medical team for questions and concerns
Path Two — The in-clinic intensive
For the patient who wants the highest-touch program we offer.
- Weekly in-clinic visits with the physician
- In-office injection, with personalized dose adjustments
- A series of body contouring sessions to support your transformation
- A series of red light therapy sessions
- Comprehensive baseline and end-of-program laboratory testing
- Custom diet and movement guidance, refined each week
- The most aggressive, most supervised program we run
05. What Every Patient Receives
The medicine, and everything around it.
Whichever path you choose, your program includes the full standard of care for medically supervised weight loss. No upsells, no surprise add-ons, no quietly missing pieces.
Physician evaluation
An unhurried in-person visit to understand your history, your goals, and whether the program is right for you. If we don't think it is, we'll tell you honestly.
Comprehensive labs
Baseline laboratory work to confirm you're a safe candidate, with repeat testing during the program to track how your body is responding.
Prescription medication
A personalized prescription written by Dr. Del Campo, with all injection supplies and shipping included. Your dose is calibrated to your goals and your tolerance.
Ongoing supervision
Regular check-ins to monitor your progress, manage any side effects, and adjust your dose. You're never alone with a vial and a guess.
Lifestyle guidance
Practical guidance on what to eat, how to move, and how to protect your muscle and energy as you lose weight. The medicine works better when you do.
Bilingual care
Our team speaks English, Spanish, and Polish. Every clinical decision can be discussed in the language you trust most.
06. Your Physician
The same hands. For two generations.
Dr. Danilo C. Del Campo — known to patients as "Dr. Danny" — directs the medical weight loss program. He is a board-certified dermatologist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, and a Fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association.
He graduated from Rush Medical College in Chicago and completed his residency at New York Medical College. He is regularly sought out by USA Today, US News, NBC News, Allure, and the New York Times for his expertise on skin and metabolic health.
"I want my patients to walk out feeling like a person who was listened to — not like a transaction."
Dr. Danny works alongside his father, Dr. Danilo V. Del Campo, who founded Chicago Skin Clinic in 1980. Together with Alexis, our patient care coordinator, and a clinical team that speaks English, Spanish, and Polish, you'll always know who is caring for you.

Sonia · Patient08. The Journey
What the program actually looks like.
Starting carefully
We begin at the lowest reasonable dose so your body has time to adjust. Mild side effects are common in this phase — usually nausea or fatigue — and almost always improve as your body acclimates. Most patients begin to notice meaningful appetite changes by the end of this phase.
Steady, monitored loss
As your body adjusts, we may increase your dose. This is when most patients see steady, visible weight loss. Energy returns. Clothes fit differently. Habits start to lock in. We check in regularly to keep you on track and watch for anything concerning.
Working through it
Most patients hit a plateau somewhere in the middle of their journey. This is normal, it's expected, and it's often a sign your body is recalibrating. We adjust the medication, review your habits, and help you push through — not give up.
Keeping the change
When you reach a weight that works for your life, we shift focus to maintenance — often a lower dose, fewer check-ins, and continued lifestyle support. Stopping medication without a maintenance plan often leads to weight regain. We'll plan that step honestly, with you.
09. Honest Answers
Questions we hear before every consultation.
How is this different from telehealth weight loss services?
You meet a board-certified physician in person. You have labs drawn at our office before any prescription is written. You have a real care team who knows your name and will pick up the phone when you call. Telehealth services have their place — but this is medicine practiced the way medicine is supposed to be practiced.
What does the program cost?
Pricing depends on which path you choose and what your individual treatment requires. We discuss pricing transparently at the consultation, after we've understood your goals and confirmed you're a candidate. The consultation itself is free.
Will I have to take this medication forever?
For some patients, long-term low-dose maintenance is the right approach. For others, a planned exit with strong lifestyle changes works well. There is no single answer — the right plan is the one we build together based on your goals, your response, and your life.
What if I don't lose weight?
Most patients do. Some don't. We're honest about that upfront because hiding it would be dishonest medicine. If your body isn't responding, we evaluate why, adjust where we can, and have a frank conversation about whether to continue. We do not promise a specific outcome — we promise the best medicine and the most honest assessment.
Do you take insurance?
The medical weight loss program is a cash-pay program. Most insurance does not cover weight loss medication for cosmetic indications, and we've structured our pricing to be straightforward and transparent rather than dependent on insurance approvals.
