What Concerns Do GLP-1 Injections Address?

A Scientific Approach to Weight Management

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that mimic a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. By activating these receptors, medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide help you feel full faster and stay full longer, reduce food cravings and “food noise,” and regulate blood sugar. This makes it significantly easier to adhere to a lower-calorie diet and achieve sustainable weight loss.

  • Clinically significant weight loss
  • Reducing hunger and cravings
  • Improving portion control
  • Lowering BMI (Body Mass Index)
  • Improving metabolic health

The best part? When combined with lifestyle changes, GLP-1 medications are one of the most effective tools available for long-term weight management.

Pre-Care & Aftercare

Simple Steps for Best Results

Thank you for choosing Advanced Aesthetics to support your weight loss journey with GLP-1 therapy. To ensure your treatment is both safe and effective, please carefully review the following guidelines.

Do

  • Stay hydrated: aim for at least 64 oz. of water per day. Proper hydration helps reduce nausea and supports metabolism.
  • Eat small, balanced meals: focus on lean proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats. Eating smaller portions helps manage appetite and minimize GI discomfort.
  • Be physically active: engage in light to moderate exercise most days of the week. Movement enhances weight loss and supports overall health.
  • Take medication as directed: administer your injection on the same day each week, as prescribed by your provider.
  • Monitor how you feel: keep track of any side effects, changes in appetite, or concerns to discuss during your follow-up appointments.
  • Store medication properly: keep your medication refrigerated unless told otherwise.
  • Attend all follow-ups: regular check-ins are essential to monitor progress, adjust dosage, and ensure your safety.

Avoid

  • Do not overeat or binge: large meals can trigger nausea, bloating, or vomiting.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol: alcohol can irritate the stomach and intensify side effects such as nausea.
  • Do not skip doses or adjust dosage without medical advice: contact us if you miss a dose or have concerns about your dosage.
  • Avoid high-fat or greasy foods: these are harder to digest and may worsen GI side effects.
  • Do not take other appetite suppressants or weight loss medications without approval: combining medications without supervision can be dangerous.

Aftercare by treatment

Common side effects

While most patients tolerate GLP-1 therapy well, you may experience some mild side effects during the adjustment period, especially in the first few weeks: nausea or vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, bloating, fatigue, decreased appetite, mild headache. These symptoms are usually temporary and often improve over time. However, if you experience severe or persistent symptoms, please contact us immediately.

Contact us immediately if you experience: severe abdominal pain, especially with vomiting; signs of allergic reaction (swelling, itching, trouble breathing); symptoms of dehydration (dizziness, very dry mouth, infrequent urination); rapid heartbeat or fainting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your GLP-1 Questions, Answered

What are the common side effects?

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. These are typically mild and improve as your body adjusts to the medication. We start with a low dose to minimize these effects.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Clinical studies have shown that patients can lose 15% or more of their body weight. Individual results will vary depending on your starting weight, adherence to the program, and lifestyle factors.

Do I have to stay on the medication forever?

Our goal is to use the medication as a tool to help you achieve your weight loss goals and build sustainable habits. We will work with you to create a long-term maintenance plan, which may include tapering off the medication.

Is this the same as Ozempic® or Mounjaro®?

We use compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which are the same active ingredients found in brand-name drugs like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro®.

Do I need to follow a special diet?

While there is no specific “diet,” we will provide nutritional guidance to help you make healthier food choices. The medication will make it easier to eat smaller portions and reduce cravings.

Is this covered by insurance?

Our medical weight loss programs are typically not covered by insurance. Payment plans are available.

Pricing

Our medical weight loss programs are structured as monthly memberships that include your medication, supplies, and regular consultations with our medical team. We will discuss the options with you during your consultation. Payment plans are available.
