Weight Loss

Certain types of body fat can be reduced through traditional methods such as diet and exercise. Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process are just a few of the variables that can affect this resistance. As we age, our metabolism tends to slow down, decreasing muscle mass and making it more challenging to burn fat and manage weight.

Semaglutide is an injectable prescription drug that the FDA has approved for managing weight in adults. It is specifically intended to assist overweight or obese individuals who have weight-related medical issues in their efforts to lose weight and maintain their weight loss.

Tirzepatide is an advanced medication created to help patients with obesity achieve medical weight loss. It is a compound that mimics two different hormones in the body, GLP-1, and GIP, which regulate glucose and insulin levels. The medication is administered via weekly injections.

The success of tirzepatide in achieving medical weight loss comes from its ability to suppress appetite and regulate blood sugar levels. It works by targeting two specific receptors in the body, triggering the production of insulin and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). The GLP-1 hormones work by slowing down digestion and making people feel full for longer, leading to an overall reduction in calorie intake. Studies have shown that tirzepatide can significantly improve weight loss in those struggling with obesity. Additionally, the medication has been shown to improve other aspects of metabolic health, such as controlling blood sugar and reducing inflammation.

This type of medical weight loss treatment is an injection given once per week. You can take it in the morning, the afternoon, or the evening—whatever time of day is most convenient for you. Our experts will develop the appropriate plan for you during your consultation.

Semaglutide is a weight reduction medication that has been shown to be safe and effective through clinical testing. In addition to helping you achieve your ideal body weight, Semaglutide may also improve other aspects of your health, including lowering your chance of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even certain forms of cancer.

Semaglutide has proven to be a highly effective, safe, and efficient treatment for weight reduction. In clinical trials, individuals using Semaglutide for obesity treatment lost an average of 16% of their body weight in just four months. This represents a significant improvement compared to what could be achieved through diet and exercise alone.

At Essential Aesthetics, we understand that the weight loss journey is unique for each person and requires personalized care. To help you achieve your goals, our experienced staff is dedicated to supporting and guiding you at every step of the way.

It's important to note that the time it takes for Semaglutide to start working can vary depending on the individual and their weight reduction goals. While some people may start to see results within the first eight weeks, most patients begin to see results within 12 weeks.
