How GLP1s Supports Weight Loss
GLP-1 is a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. It helps reduce hunger and increase the feeling of fullness after eating.
This medication supports weight loss by:
- Decreasing appetite and cravings.
- Slowing gastric emptying to improve satiety.
- Encouraging smaller portion sizes and better food choices.
- Helping maintain long-term weight loss results.
GLP1s are not a stimulant and do not contain amphetamines. It is a medical-grade solution for adults struggling with obesity or weight-related conditions.
Who Is a Candidate for GLP1s?
GLP1s may be a good fit for patients who:
- Are overweight or obese with a BMI of 27 or higher.
- Have a weight-related medical condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
- Struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone.
- Want medical support and accountability.
Your Medical Aesthetics provider will evaluate your health history and goals before starting treatment. GLP-1s are not recommended during pregnancy or for patients with certain medical conditions.
What to Expect During Treatment
After an initial consultation and screening, patients are prescribed GLP-1s as a once-weekly injection. Most patients self-administer at home after receiving instructions from our team.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
- Weekly injections using a fine needle.
- Gradual dose adjustments as directed by your Medical Aesthetics provider.
- Ongoing check-ins to monitor progress and side effects.
- Nutrition and wellness support throughout your plan.
Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite within a few weeks. Weight loss builds gradually and steadily with continued use.

- Enhanced motivation to maintain healthy habits.

GLP-1 Treatment Plan
Our GLP-1 weight loss program begins with a detailed health assessment and goal-setting consultation. After confirming eligibility, patients begin a customized plan that includes weekly injections, nutritional support, and regular check-ins to track progress.
We adjust dosage as needed to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Patients are guided on meal planning, lifestyle changes, and how to manage common side effects.
GLP-1s for Diabetes Management
GLP-1s were originally developed to help manage blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. It improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control, helping many diabetic patients achieve better metabolic balance. Weight loss is a beneficial side effect that led to its additional approval for non-diabetic use.
Comparing GLP-1s to Other Treatments
Unlike many weight loss medications, GLP-1s are not a stimulant. It works by regulating appetite and insulin, not by increasing heart rate. Compared to over-the-counter solutions or fad diets, GLP-1s offer a medically supervised, long-term option with measurable results.
