Significant Weight Loss: Patients can achieve significant weight loss while taking semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication), with some experiencing a 15% reduction in their total body weight. (3)

  • Appetite Suppression: GLP-1 medications can help patients feel more satiated after eating smaller portions, leading to a reduction in calorie intake.

  • Convenient Administration: Semaglutide is injected under the skin once weekly, making it an easy regimen for patients to adhere to long-term.

About GLP-1

One of the key components in the DrWell weight loss and wellness program is the inclusion of GLP-1 medication. GLP-1 is the abbreviation for ‘glucagon-like peptide-1’, which refers to the hormone the medication mimics to help manage blood sugar and insulin levels.

This mechanism allows patients to see a reduction in appetite and recurrent cravings, allowing weight loss to become more achievable in many cases.

These medications were originally designed to help patients manage type 2 diabetes, but have gained significant popularity due to their weight-loss effects. Healthy weight loss can help patients suffering from weight-related conditions improve their current health, long-term longevity, and quality of life.

Consultation

Each patient is asked to start the consultation process via our DrWell intake form. During your consultation, you will receive a set of personalized pre-treatment instructions to help you prepare. Preparation for GLP-1 medication is straightforward, but each patient should follow any instructions given by Dr. Lopez’s of Aesthetic Laser Center team members

GLP-1s are designed to be taken as a once-weekly injection in the thigh, arm, or abdomen. We recommend alternating the injection sites each week to avoid overusing any one area

Results

Patients will begin to notice the effects of their weight loss program after just a few weeks of starting their medication, with most patients experiencing fewer cravings and reduced appetite by this point. Weight loss is gradual, with patients being able to see reductions in their physical weight after several months of adhering to their medication routine. Some patients have been reported to lose an average of 15.2% of their total body weight.

After achieving their weight loss goals, patients can decide if they would like to continue receiving their weekly injections. It is important to keep in mind that, if the medication is discontinued, patients are likely to experience an increase in appetite and may regain their previously lost weight.

How long will it take to see the results of my GLP-1 medication?

Results can vary between individuals, but many patients start experiencing noticeable changes within the first few months of treatment.
