WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS?

Extreme diet and exercise plans can lead to nutrient deficiencies and other health issues, while conventional methods of weight loss often fail to provide long-term results. We offer a number of medical weight loss plans designed to provide a safe and effective way for patients to achieve their ideal weight. Additional benefits include:

• Better overall physical and mental wellbeing
• Increased energy levels
• Improved quality of sleep
• Reduced risk of developing chronic health conditions

*Long-term results with continued maintenance

HOW DOES MEDICAL WEIGHT LOSS WORK?

You will first start by consulting with Dr. Lynch here at Beauty Elements Med Spa. He will talk to you about your current health, weight loss goals, and concerns and then work with you to create a plan that fits your needs. This plan may include semaglutide or tirzepatide (mounjaro) injections that can boost the results of a healthy low-calorie diet and exercise program.

Semaglutide was approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in 2021 to help patients with obesity manage their weight. Given weekly, these injections work to regulate appetite and the sensation of feeling full. This helps patients stick with a healthy low-calorie diet while maintaining their normal energy levels. Studies found that patients taking semaglutide injections lost up to 15 – 20% of their starting weight during their treatment regimen. Semaglutide is not a drug, is non-habit forming, and is safe and effective for most patients who want to lose weight.

Tirzepatide, on the other hand, is a type of medication known as a GLP-1 agonist. This means it is able to mimic naturally-occurring hormones called peptides, which impacts hormone receptors that cause you to feel hunger and fullness. The effect of this is a decreased sense of hunger in the patient and a faster sense of feeling “full” when eating.

During your consultation, Dr. Lynch will review your medical history to ensure you can enjoy the weight loss benefits that semaglutide or tirzepatide injections offer.
