Weight Loss Q & A
What weight loss solutions are available?
Physician-supervised weight loss takes the guesswork and frustration out of achieving a healthy weight. The Beauty Medics offers world-class weight loss solutions, including dietician consultations and renowned weight loss injections, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, at an affordable price.
How do weight loss injections work?
Weight loss injections like semaglutide and tirzepatide support weight loss by administering a medication that regulates hunger and blood sugar and boosts metabolism.
Semaglutide (found in Ozempic® and Wegovy®) mimics a natural hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1) to control appetite and help you feel satisfied with less food.
Tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro® and Zepbound®) targets two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This medication curbs your appetite and speeds up your metabolism for faster fat loss.
Both can make it easier to regulate your eating and lose weight, and your provider at The Beauty Medics can find a good fit for you.
Who qualifies for weight loss injections?
Rather than thinking in terms of a particular weight, your provider is more concerned about how carrying excess pounds in relation to your height may impact your health. Your body mass index (BMI) provides useful information, and you can measure yours here.
You’re more likely to be a good candidate if you have a BMI of 27 with associated weight-related health issues or a BMI of 30 or higher. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, your provider can discuss lifestyle changes for current weight loss goals and plan injections for a later date.
What can I expect from a personalized weight loss plan?
After discussing your goals and medical history, your provider can establish a personalized care plan. You’ll typically receive injections once a week. Your injections are always physician-supervised, and the quick process fits into most schedules.
Your body is unique, and The Beauty Medics also offers a dietician consult and IV therapy services to meet your body’s nutrient needs. If you struggle with stubborn fat, your provider may recommend liposuction for beautiful body contouring.
Working toward your aesthetic goals is always collaborative. Your provider empowers you to make sustainable lifestyle changes, such as finding new and enjoyable ways to stay active.
At The Beauty Medics, your goals are within reach. Call the office to learn more or request an appointment online today.
