Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1. It helps regulate appetite and food intake by increasing feelings of fullness and reducing hunger, which leads to decreased calorie consumption and weight loss.

Tirzepatide combines the effects of GLP-1 and GIP hormones, offering enhanced weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity compared to semaglutide alone. This makes tirzepatide particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes seeking both weight loss and better blood sugar control.
Like all medications, GLP injections can have side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Our medical team closely monitors you to manage any side effects effectively.
Results can vary depending on individual factors such as starting weight, diet, exercise, and adherence to the treatment plan. Many patients begin to see noticeable weight loss within a few weeks of starting semaglutide, with more significant results typically observed over several months.
Absolutely. Our weight loss programs are designed to be comprehensive, combining GLP injections with nutritional counseling, exercise plans, and behavioral therapy to maximize your weight loss results and promote long-term success.
