medical weight loss

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections

The term medical weight loss refers to the process of losing weight with the help and guidance of a health care professional. Our knowledge and expertise can help patients create a realistic plan to assist in their individual weight loss goals. Weekly or bi-weekly office visits are suggested to help patients with accountability and for us to monitor the medication dosage.

The first step in getting started is to have some blood work done so we can review your lab results. At your initial consultation, you will be weighed on our body composition scale and the nurse will go over your lab results and explain our weight loss plans. We will help guide you in choosing the plan that will best meet your goals.

Although the medication does a lot of the work, it is only as good as the effort you put in. Some diet modifications and exercise will significantly increase your weight loss results and help you develop habits that will help to maintain your new weight.

WhAt is semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication that can help people lose weight. It is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it works by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar level. It was originally FDA approved for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes and after discovering it aiding in weight loss too, it was approved by the FDA for the treatment of weight loss.

This drug has shown great results for patients who have always had difficulty losing weight. Studies have shown that Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss, improved metabolic health, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases.

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is very similar to Semaglutide but it works as a dual receptor. It is a little more expensive but it does seems to work better for some patients that are not successful on the Semaglutide program.

The greatest weight loss results were observed when these medications are used in combination with lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and consistent exercise.

Are IV therapy infusions safe?

IV therapy is extremely safe and also has zero to very little side effects.
How long does it take to receive a treatment?

The average time for a 1000mL treatment is 45-60 minutes. In rare instances it may go above the 60 minute mark.
How often should I receive IV therapy?

Every person is different and everyone has different objectives. Your goals will determine how often to receive treatments.
What is the difference between IV therapy and oral vitamins?

IV vitamins go straight into the bloodstream and bypass the gastrointestinal system allowing for more and faster absorption in the blood cells.

The cost of the weight loss injections starts at

$50 per week
but increases depending on the dose.
