We offer GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss
At Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, we offer GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide to help you lose weight. Tirzepatide is offered in an injection. Tirzepatide requires weekly in-clinic injections but may be more effective for some.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a promising GLP-1 receptor agonist used for medical weight loss in San Carlos that also targets the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor. This mechanism not only improves glucose control but also enhances its effects on appetite suppression and fat metabolism. Clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide can lead to even more weight loss compared to other GLP-1 receptor agonists, with some patients losing more than 20% of their body weight.
Benefits of weight loss medications:
- Helps reduce hunger and food cravings
- Slows stomach emptying for prolonged satiety
- Lowers blood sugar levels
- Supports steady, sustainable weight loss
- Non-invasive options available (sublingual drops)
- Effective for individuals with busy lifestyles or frequent travel
- Increases overall success when combined with nutrition and lifestyle changes
- Close medical supervision ensures safe usage
How do these weight loss medications work?
Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist, often used in medical weight loss in San Carlos. GLP-1 is naturally occurring in your body and helps you feel full. These medications thus mimic GLP-1, helping reduce hunger and food cravings, helping you feel satiated longer by slowing down stomach emptying, and helping reduce blood sugar levels.
How is tirzepatide administered?
Tirzepatide requires weekly in-clinic injections. Tirzepatide is closely monitored at PAD to ensure your safety and success during your weight loss journey.
When will I see the results?
You may begin to notice changes in your appetite and energy levels within the first few weeks of treatment. However, significant weight loss becomes more apparent after several months as your body adjusts to the medication. Results vary based on individual factors, including your lifestyle, adherence to the program, and how your body responds to the medication. Regular monitoring at PAD ensures your progress with your medical weight loss in San Carlos is safely tracked throughout your journey.
