What is GLP-1 medication?

GLP-1s are revolutionary medications that have entirely redefined the landscape of weight loss treatment. Experience genuine weight loss outcomes by targeting the root causes that impact your body's natural chemistry. These game-changing drugs remove the complexities and challenges of weight loss, making it easier than ever to achieve lasting results.

Our Weight Loss Treatments

Contrave

Contrave is a prescription medication that targets the brain's hunger and reward systems. Designed to help control cravings and reduce appetite, it's particularly effective for those who struggle with emotional eating.
 

  • How it works: Combines bupropion and naltrexone to regulate appetite and cravings.

  • Ideal for: Individuals dealing with overeating due to emotional or habitual triggers.

  • Key benefit: Reduces food cravings, especially for high-calorie, high-sugar foods.

Semaglutide

Semaglutide, originally developed for managing blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, is now an FDA-approved weight loss solution. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and promote a feeling of fullness.
 

  • How it works: Slows digestion and signals fullness to the brain.

  • Ideal for: Those needing steady, gradual weight loss.

  • Key benefit: Proven to result in significant weight loss with minimal lifestyle disruption.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide represents the next generation of weight loss medications. It works on two hormone pathways—GLP-1 and GIP—making it highly effective for appetite control and metabolic improvements.
 

  • How it works: Enhances insulin sensitivity, suppresses hunger, and increases energy use.

  • Ideal for: Individuals with metabolic syndrome or those looking for enhanced results.

  • Key benefit: Greater weight loss potential compared to other treatments.

  • What are the potential side effects of JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC?
    For lip augmentation, most side effects were mild or moderate in nature with a duration of 14 days or less. The most common side effects were temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, and bruising. For treating lines and wrinkles, most side effects were mild or moderate in nature with a duration of 7 days or less. The most common side effects included temporary injection-site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions

GLP-1 receptor agonists—including semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, and tirzepatide—have been prescribed (on-and-off label) for weight management, including obesity, along with a reduced caloric diet and increased physical activity. Take precaution with, and read all warnings concerning, GLP-1s, as they may cause serious side effects, including a risk of thyroid c-cell tumors. Do not use if you or your family have a history of a type of thyroid cancer called MTC (medullary thyroid carcinoma) or MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome). See important warnings & safety info about these medications.
