Weight loss injections, such as Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), offer promising solutions for individuals looking to manage their weight effectively. These medications, originally approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, have shown significant benefits for weight loss, even in patients with a body mass index (BMI) below 30. Some people just want to lose five to ten pounds and have found weight loss injections helpful to get them to their goals.
Types of Weight Loss Injections
Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection. It works by mimicking hormones that stimulate insulin production, promote feelings of fullness, and reduce appetite. Recent studies have shown that patients can lose up to 15% of their body weight after 16 months of treatment. We have seen even greater success observed in shorter intervals.
Similarly, Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has demonstrated remarkable results in promoting weight loss and improving glycemic control. Tirzepatide helps decrease food intake, increase energy usage, and prevent fat deposits in the body.
Weight loss injections offer numerous benefits, including appetite suppression, improved digestion, reduced cravings, and improved metabolic function. Plus, with only a once-weekly injection required, they provide a convenient and effective solution for managing weight.
How Do I Get Started?
Obtaining a prescription for these weight loss injections may pose challenges for some individuals. While insurance plans typically cover the cost for patients with type 2 diabetes or a BMI of 27 or higher, those with lower BMIs or without diabetes may need to pay out of pocket.
If your goal is to just shed a few pounds, we can begin with a lower dosage. We’ll gradually increase it over time, or if you achieve your desired outcome, you can stop the injections. Should you experience unwanted cravings again, we can easily resume the injections at any time.
At Men’s Total Health, we’re committed to providing personalized weight loss programs tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
