Semaglutide is available as an easy once-a-week injection. Oral alternatives are available as well. We will begin with a low dose and gradually increase it over the course of 16-20 weeks. This is a longer program and not a quick fix. It requires a commitment for at least 3 months to see the best results.
Our programs also incorporate weekly Vitamin Injections such as B12 and MIC injections (methionine, inositol, and choline) that help with energy and weight loss. We also have an option of body contouring using our ideal light therapy.
We pride ourselves in regularly consulting, coaching, motivating, and working with the patient to make sure that you are staying the course and on track to achieve your weight loss goals. Regular monitoring keeps patients on track and allows us to intervene if dietary or lifestyle changes are affecting efficiency in your weight loss.
We also offer a wide variety of reduced-calorie meal plans that are designed to help you lose weight and keep the weight off!!!
The precise cost of Semaglutide weight loss injections can vary depending on patients’ goals and desired amount of weight loss. Cost typically can run from $550 -$850 per month, depending on weight loss goals and needs. A higher starting weight may require additional treatments and services.
Obtain a personalized estimate for Semaglutide and your weight loss goals by scheduling a consultation with us. After discussing your weight loss goals and assessing your current health, a specialist can let you know exactly how much your treatment plan will cost.
At Waters Edge Medical Clinic and Spa, we also offer another injectable weight loss medication called Tirzepatide, commonly sold under the brand name Mounjaro by Eli Lilly. Originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, it has gained attention for its effectiveness in promoting significant weight loss.
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. These two hormones, known as incretins, help regulate insulin levels and are naturally released in response to food intake. By mimicking the action of GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), tirzepatide:
The way that Tirzepatide is administered is just like Semaglutide. The medication is prescribed as a weekly injection in the upper arm, thigh, buttocks or abdomen.
If you’re obese or overweight with a weight-related health condition, Tirzepatide can offer you some or all of the following benefits:
The results of Tirzepatide can vary depending on the patient, their lifestyle habits, and the dosage of medication. Studies have shown that patients taking Tirzepatide weekly for 72 weeks can expect to lose between 15% and 22.5% of their body weight.
Although some patients see results sooner, you can typically expect to notice significant weight loss after taking Tirzepatide for approximately 8 to 12 weeks.
Although they are usually mild, Tirzepatide has been shown to cause certain side effects in some patients. The most common side effects include the following:
While tirzepatide can be highly effective, it is typically prescribed when lifestyle changes alone haven’t achieved desired weight loss results. It’s best to have a free consultation at Waters Edge Medical Clinic to see if Tirzepatide is right for you.
Tirzepatide is a medication originally developed to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, but it has shown significant weight loss effects. It works by mimicking gut hormones that regulate appetite and glucose metabolism, which can help reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
Clinical trials have shown that Tirzepatide can lead to substantial weight loss, often exceeding 15-20% of body weight, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Results may vary depending on individual factors and adherence to lifestyle changes.
Many people begin to see some weight loss within the first few weeks, but noticeable, sustained results typically develop over several months. Doctors usually recommend a gradual increase in dosage, which can also affect how quickly results are observed.
Tirzepatide is generally prescribed for individuals with obesity or overweight with other health-related risks. However, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider to determine if it’s suitable based on medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Some people may experience vomiting or constipation. These side effects often lessen over time, but it’s best to consult with a doctor if they persist or worsen.
Tirzepatideis usually given as a subcutaneous injection once a week. The dosage is often gradually increased over a few months to minimize side effects and improve effectiveness.
It’s essential to consult a healthcare provider before combining Tirzepatide with other weight loss medications. Combining treatments could lead to side effects or interfere with effectiveness, so professional guidance is recommended.
For best results, Tirzepatide should be used with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and behavioral changes to support a healthy lifestyle. These changes can help enhance weight loss results and make them more sustainable.
Coverage varies based on the insurance provider and the individual’s policy. Many insurers currently cover Tirzepatide for diabetes management, but coverage for weight loss alone may be more limited.
The duration of Tirzepatide treatment varies by individual goals and medical advice. Long-term use may be recommended for some to maintain weight loss, but this should be assessed regularly by a healthcare provider.
Trizepatide is more expensive then Semaglutide. Cost can vary and range from $800 or more depending on packages, and programs.
