Medically Assisted Weight Loss
Once-Weekly Semaglutide & Tirzepatide Injections
Losing weight can be challenging for a variety of reasons, especially for those who have health conditions working against them. We want you to be successful, which is why we offer medically assisted weight loss solutions tailored to your needs.
Understanding These Breakthrough Medications
What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are highly effective for managing weight, controlling blood sugar, and improving metabolic health. These medications work with your body’s natural processes to regulate appetite and glucose metabolism, helping you achieve better health outcomes.
Semaglutide: A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved by the FDA for chronic weight management and type 2 diabetes treatment. It works by slowing gastric emptying, reducing hunger, and promoting a feeling of fullness.
Tirzepatide: A dual-action medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, this unique mechanism enhances weight loss and metabolic control by addressing multiple hormonal pathways.

Key Differences Between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
While both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are highly effective, they differ in their mechanisms and outcomes.
Mechanism of Action: Semaglutide focuses solely on GLP-1 receptor activation, while Tirzepatide also targets GIP receptors for a dual effect.
Weight Loss Results: Clinical trials suggest that Tirzepatide may lead to greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide, with average weight loss percentages of up to 15% for Semaglutide and up to 22.5% for Tirzepatide.
Personalized Approach: The specific weight loss injection you will be prescribed will depend on your individual health needs and goals.
