At Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, we want our patients to not only look good but also feel good. Our patients’ overall well-being is important to us, and we want to be able to provide care in all aspects to our patients. Premier Aesthetic Dermatology offers weight loss using tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound) and semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic). At PAD, we monitor our patients closely to ensure they have a safe and successful weight loss journey.
We offer GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss
At Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, we offer GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide to help you lose weight. Tirzepatide is offered in an injection, and the semaglutide is a sublingual (under the tongue) drop. The semaglutide drop is a great option for those who do not want injections, have a busy schedule, or travel often. The tirzepatide requires weekly in-clinic injections but may be more effective for some.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been widely studied and approved for weight management in individuals with a high body mass index (BMI). It works by suppressing appetite, leading to reduced calorie intake, and promoting a feeling of fullness after meals. Semaglutide has been shown to help patients achieve significant weight loss, with many experiencing a 10-15% reduction in body weight throughout treatment.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is another promising GLP-1 receptor agonist 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?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists. 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 are semaglutide and tirzepatide administered?
Semaglutide is administered as a sublingual drop, which you place under your tongue. This method is ideal if you prefer avoiding injections, have a busy schedule, or travel often. Tirzepatide, on the other hand, requires weekly in-clinic injections. While it may be more effective for some individuals, it does require in-person visits. Both treatments are 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 is safely tracked throughout your journey.
