These treatments regulate appetite, enhance insulin sensitivity, and promote fat reduction. Led by Dr. Ty, a triple board-certified MD, we provide safe, individualized solutions for long-term weight management.
Regulate appetite and lose weight sustainably
Weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are injectable treatments that target the body’s metabolic processes to assist in weight management. These medications work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness. By promoting better control of eating habits, they help you achieve gradual, sustainable weight loss. At Adorn Aesthetics MD, we provide these cutting-edge treatments under the expert supervision of Dr. Ty, ensuring safe, effective, and personalized care for each patient.
How do weight loss medications work?
Weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which mimic the action of the GLP-1 hormone in the body. GLP-1 plays a key role in regulating appetite, insulin secretion, and glucose metabolism. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these medications slow gastric emptying, reduce hunger signals, and enhance satiety. They also improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels. This combination helps patients reduce caloric intake and manage weight more effectively.
Your weight loss medication options
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which regulates appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide slows gastric emptying, reduces hunger, and promotes feelings of fullness. It also stimulates insulin release in response to meals, improving blood sugar control. This dual action helps patients reduce caloric intake and manage weight while supporting overall metabolic health.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-acting GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist. In addition to the appetite-regulating effects of GLP-1, tirzepatide also enhances the effects of GIP, further improving insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. This combination provides a powerful approach to weight loss by reducing hunger, increasing satiety, and optimizing insulin function. The result is a more comprehensive and sustained weight loss.
Benefits of GLP-1 medications:
- Reduces appetite by mimicking natural hunger-regulating hormones
- Increases feelings of fullness, helping control portion sizes
- Slows gastric emptying, leading to longer satiety
- Improves insulin sensitivity, supporting better blood sugar control
- Promotes gradual, sustainable weight loss over time
- Reduces risk factors associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes
- Offers a non-surgical, medically supervised weight management option
- Self-administered as a simple, once weekly injection at home
- Safe and effective for long-term use when prescribed by a qualified physician
Your weight loss experience
Consultation
Our skilled providers will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals. They will discuss your lifestyle, eating habits, and previous weight management efforts. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan will be recommended, which may include semaglutide or tirzepatide. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, understand the medications’ benefits and potential side effects, and receive expert guidance on achieving safe and sustainable weight loss.
Treatment
The treatment involves self-administering semaglutide or tirzepatide via a subcutaneous injection. You will receive detailed instructions from your provider on preparing the injection, including the correct dosage and injection site. These injections are usually given once a week, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It’s essential to rotate injection sites to minimize irritation. Your provider will guide you through the process to ensure you feel comfortable with your treatment.
Side effects
While semaglutide and tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, they can cause some side effects, especially during the early stages of treatment. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort. These symptoms typically decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. In rare cases, more serious side effects like pancreatitis or gallbladder issues may occur. Your provider will closely monitor your progress to ensure safety.
Results
The amount of weight loss varies based on individual factors such as starting weight, lifestyle, and adherence to the treatment plan. Clinical studies show that patients using semaglutide can lose an average of 10-15% of their body weight over several months, while tirzepatide has demonstrated even more significant results, with patients losing up to 20% of their body weight. Your provider will personalize your treatment to optimize results based on your unique goals.
