Schedule a ConsultationWhat are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are specialized treatments designed to aid in weight management by providing targeted support for fat metabolism, energy production, and appetite regulation. Administered by trained professionals, weight loss injections offer a convenient and effective option for individuals seeking to supplement their diet and exercise efforts with personalized support for achieving their weight loss goals.
What Weight Loss Injections are Offered?
Semaglutide
Semaglutide, commonly known as Ozempic and Wegovy, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that aids weight loss through weekly injections. Clinical trials have demonstrated its effectiveness in significant weight reduction when used alongside lifestyle changes, but users should discuss the risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide, commonly known as Mounjaro and Zepbound, is a novel medication undergoing clinical trials for obesity and type 2 diabetes, combining GLP-1 and GIP receptor actions. While promising preliminary data suggests significant weight loss and improved glycemic control, its long-term safety and availability are still being evaluated, advising individuals to consult with healthcare providers for updates and considerations.
How do I prepare for my consultation?
To prepare for your consultation, obtain a copy of your most recent lab work. Lab work older than six months is not accepted. If you do not have recent labs, you may choose to have them drawn in our office during your consultation.
Note that lab results will need to be reviewed before starting treatment.
If you see any specialists (i.e. cardiologists, endocrinologists, etc.) a medical clearance may be required before starting treatment. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your first appointment time to fill out the paperwork.
Our Weight Loss Program Protocol
Once you receive approval as a candidate for treatment, we will send you an email with a sign-up link for an online portal. After creating an account, you can log in and manage your monthly medication subscription. You will be seen monthly in-office by the provider to discuss treatment progress and customize dosing for the upcoming month. Vital signs, weight, and BMI will be collected at each office visit. At each monthly check-in, you will receive the next four doses of the medication to self-administer at home.
