What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are a medical treatment to help individuals lose weight by regulating appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness. These injections are typically prescribed for those who have struggled to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise alone. They work by influencing certain hormones and pathways in the body that control hunger, food intake, and metabolism. The primary goal of weight loss injections is to assist individuals in achieving and maintaining a healthier weight, which can lead to improved overall health and a reduction in weight-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Weight Loss Injections we provide
Wegovy (Semaglutide)
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved medication used for chronic weight management. It is specifically designed for adults who are obese (with a BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (with a BMI of 27 or higher) and have at least one weight-related health condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
How Wegovy Works
Wegovy contains semaglutide, which is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite and food intake. Semaglutide works by:
- Mimicking GLP-1: Semaglutide binds to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which helps to control appetite and reduce food intake.
- Slowing Gastric Emptying: This increases the feeling of fullness and reduces hunger, helping individuals eat less and lose weight.
- Enhancing Insulin Sensitivity: Wegovy helps improve the body’s response to insulin, which can aid in blood sugar control.
Benefits of Wegovy
Significant Weight Loss: Clinical trials have shown that Wegovy can help individuals lose an average of 15% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Improved Health Markers: Wegovy can help lower blood sugar levels, reduce blood pressure, and improve cholesterol levels.
Reduced Risk of Weight-Related Conditions: Using Wegovy can lower the risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Saxenda (Liraglutide)
What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (liraglutide) is an FDA-prescription medication for weight management. It is for adults who are obese (with a BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (with a BMI of 27 or higher). They have at least one weight-related health condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Saxenda is also for use in adolescents aged 12-17 with a body weight above 60 kg (132 lbs) and obesity.
Eligibility and Considerations
Who Can Use Saxenda: Saxenda is suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition. It is also for adolescents aged 12-17 with obesity.
Who Should Avoid Saxenda: It is not for individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or those with a known hypersensitivity to liraglutide or any of the ingredients in Saxenda.
Monitoring: Regular follow-up with healthcare providers is necessary to monitor progress, adjust dosages, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
Mounjaro (tripeptide) is a new FDA medication for chronic weight management. It is specifically for adults who are obese (with a BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (with a BMI of 27 or higher) . They have at least one weight-related health condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Mounjaro is unique in its mechanism of action, targeting both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptors.
Mounjaro offers a promising new option for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health issues. By targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, Mounjaro provides a comprehensive approach to appetite control and metabolic health. When used as part of a comprehensive weight management plan that includes dietary changes and physical activity, Mounjaro can support significant weight loss and improve overall health.
