Introduction to GLP1 injections for weight loss

A person’s weight can cause major issues in not only their lifestyle but also their self-esteem. While some are capable of shedding weight like it’s nothing, or not even having to deal with excessive weight gain at all, there are plenty of Americans who struggle with being overweight and are tired of the hindrance it causes. At Aesthetics Med Spa, we want to provide our Lansing, MI patients with a weight loss option that will let them take back their body and their life with GLPi Injectables . To learn more about this treatment, please keep reading below.

Overview

What is GLPi Injectables?

GLPi Injectables is a once-a-week injection of a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) that is an FDA-approved medication created to help control chronic weight management from a reputable compounding pharmacy. When combined with a healthy diet and routine exercise, this treatment can help our adult patients lose almost 15% of their body weight and some of our adolescent patients lose almost 16%. GLP-1 is an incretin hormone (released by your digestive tract) that plays a large role in your appetite and digestion. These hormones are sent out into your body after eating a meal and help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin release and blocking sugar.

What is Trizepatide

Trizepatide is a peptide-based medication that functions as a dual agonist for the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. Trizepatide has recently been used to improve glycemic control and support weight loss in patients by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon levels, and promoting satiety. When compared to existing treatments, clinical trials have shown promising results and significant reductions in body weight and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, which indicates your average blood sugar. Its unique mechanism sets it apart from traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists, potentially offering a more comprehensive approach to managing metabolic disorders.

What’s the First Step?

If you are interested in GLPi or Trizepatide injections in Lansing, your first step is to contact Aesthetics MedSpa and schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ronan. During this appointment, you can ask all your questions regarding the treatment, get an InBody Body Composition analysis, and answer some questions regarding your medical and lifestyle history. It is very important to be open and honest as it will help Dr. Ronan make choices that will ensure your safety and prevent unnecessary risks. Once he has collected the information he needs, Dr. Ronan will build your treatment plan, and if you agree with it, he will get you started on your weight loss journey with GLPi or Trizepatide.

What to Expect From GLPi Injections

The treatment requires a weekly dosage that is in a single-use injection pen, but it’s very similar to what people with diabetes are required to use, which may cause some people some minor and temporary pain. The injection can be administered either weekly in our clinic or in the comfort of your own home but should be done only once a week and on the same day of every week for the best results, however, it does not require to be performed at the exact same time every week and can be taken with or without food. The injections can be injected just under your skin in either your abdomen, upper arm, or thigh, and we strongly recommend changing the injection site with each dose. You can keep the location the same (i.e., the thigh), but you should do your best to avoid the same spot twice. Some gastrointestinal reactions can occur due to the treatment, which we have listed below.

Every patient has a different weight loss journey, so you may not have the same experience as someone else. We encourage our patients to be patient and understand that this isn’t a “quick fix” or substitution for a healthy lifestyle, but more of a helping aid to achieve a better body. You can expect your dosage to be increased every four weeks and could be on this routine for about four months. Once Dr. Ronan feels you are where you need to be, he will inform you of how much longer you will need to take the injection.
