Weight Loss Injections
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs work by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and slowing down digestion.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is both a GLP-1 receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). The GIP hormone can also trigger insulin creation and sensations of fullness. Tirzepatide may offer an extra weight loss boost and has fewer side effects.

Weight Loss Treatment FAQs
When will I start seeing results?
Individual results vary, but many notice appetite changes and weight loss within 2-3 weeks.
To minimize side effects, we start with a low dose and gradually increase it. As the dosage rises, you’ll likely feel fuller faster and experience more weight loss. Be patient- allow at least 12 weeks to assess effectiveness!
What if I do not lose weight?
In rare cases, a patient may be a “non-responder,” meaning they have not lost 5% of their body weight by week 12 of the program. If this occurs, it will be recommended to discontinue the medication at that time.
What are the differences between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Both medications are effective for weight loss, with slight differences in their mechanisms.
We’ll help you choose the best option for your situation.
Will I gain the weight back when I stop the medication?
Weight regain can occur after stopping the medication, particularly if healthy lifestyle habits like a balanced diet and regular exercise are not maintained. Our team can also help create a long-term maintenance plan to support your ideal weight.
