How GLP-1 Works
If you’re interested in the weight loss industry, then you’ve likely heard of some popular GLP-1 injections, like semaglutide or tirzepatide. But although these injections have helped countless people achieve their weight loss goals, most people aren’t sure how they actually work.
GLP-1 injections work by mimicking your body’s natural response to consuming calories. When you need food, your brain sends out a signal to the body to let you know it’s time to eat.
After you’ve finished eating, your intestinal cells produce the GLP-1 hormone, which tells the brain it’s time to stop producing a hunger response. GLP-1 injections parrot this natural response, so you don’t feel random urges to eat or snack throughout the day.
The Health Benefits of GLP-1
There are many benefits to taking injections of GLP-1 in Denville, such as improving your profile and appearance. GLP-1 is an excellent choice for patients looking to lose belly fat and reduce facial fat.
At Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, our team members want to help patients feel comfortable in their own bodies. These injections can finally give you the body confidence you’ve been trying to find.
But aesthetic concerns aren’t the only reasons someone might be interested in GLP-1 injections. There are a number of health benefits associated with losing weight.
Obesity can result in a number of serious, potentially life-threatening health concerns. Obese patients may be at a higher risk of developing conditions like:
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Strokes
- Type 2 diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Osteoarthritis
Obesity may also increase a patient’s risk of developing certain cancers, like breast, thyroid, liver, kidney, or colon cancer.
Other side effects of overweightness and obesity include sexual dysfunction and even the onset of mental health disorders.
While GLP-1 in Denville won’t address these problems directly, it can treat your obesity, which in turn may lower your risk of these serious health concerns.
Preparing for Your GLP-1 Injections
Unlike many of our treatments, weight loss injections don’t require extensive preparation, but there are some things you should consider before talking to our team about trying GLP-1 in Denville.
For instance, it’s a good idea to start developing healthy diet and exercise habits, even before you begin the injection process. GLP-1 injections don’t magically remove all your fat. Instead, they simply cut down on cravings and “food noise.”
If you don’t exercise or eat healthy as you take GLP-1 injections, you may not see the results you’re hoping for. Establishing healthier habits in the lead-up to your injections can make the weight loss process simpler.
Consulting With the Weight Loss Experts
Before you receive your first injection of GLP-1 in Denville, you first need to sit down with our team members to confirm that this is the right treatment for your specific needs.
At Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, our wellness experts have worked with countless patients just like you, so we know what to look out for, and which patients could see the best results from weight loss injections.
During your consultation, our team members examine your condition for ourselves. We also ask you about your lifestyle habits, medical history, and expectations for treatment. After we get to know you on a deeper level, we can find the right weight loss resource for you.
Body Composition Testing
For patients interested in a weight loss treatment from our team at Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, we may recommend body composition testing. This full-body scan gives us more data than a regular scale and helps us better understand your needs.
In the past, a provider may have used the body mass index (BMI) to determine your ideal weight loss treatment, but experts believe this method is outdated. Weight alone isn’t enough to analyze your health.
The Styku Body Analysis machine uses infra-red technology and sensors to determine your body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone mass percentage, waist circumference, and more. Once we have the complete picture of your health, we can develop your personal weight loss treatment.
Administering the Injections
Another reason so many people love GLP-1 in Denville is because patients can administer the injections themselves at home.
For the best weight loss results, people traditionally need one injection every week. But we know how busy you are—you don’t have the time to travel to our clinic on a weekly basis just so you can receive a simple injection.
Fortunately, we can advise you on how to safely make the injections on your own. If you’ve never administered an injection before—not to worry, the GLP-1 injection process is quite simple.
We’ll walk you through the process, as well as how to safely store the medication in between doses. For the best results, please maintain the recommended injection schedule.
Seeing Results With GLP-1 Injections
Traditionally, patients begin to experience a reduction in their cravings and “food noise” after a couple of weeks. Everyone responds to GLP-1 injections differently, so the results timeline may vary from patient to patient. Some patients notice a change in just a week.
As your appetite changes, and you continue to maintain healthy nutritional and dietary habits you can begin to experience noticeable weight loss. Many people reach their ideal weight after about 6 months of consistent use, but this isn’t the case for everyone.
Some people may reach their goals sooner or later, depending on how their body reacts to the medication, as well as how much weight they want to lose.
Maintaining Your Results
Following your initial round of injections, you may wish to wean off GLP-1 in Denville.
Depending on your body composition, metabolic function, and body fat percentage, this may be your best option. That said, GLP-1 injections were meant for long-term use, so some patients benefit from staying on them indefinitely.
In such cases, we usually recommend the Exhibit Medical Aesthetics maintenance program. This program includes quarterly check-ins and body composition analyses. It also reduces the frequency of your doses. We may reduce the frequency of your injections to every 2 weeks.
The maintenance program allows our experts to analyze your progress and make any recommendations as you work to preserve your results.
Boosting Your Weight Loss Results
GLP-1 in Denville can provide noticeable weight loss results for our patients, but they can work even more effectively when paired with other treatments.
Vitamin Injections
The body requires 13 vitamins to operate at maximum functionality, but most of us don’t receive the necessary nutrients in our everyday diets.
As you work to maintain a caloric deficit, your vitamin balance may worsen, resulting in symptoms like mood swings, nausea, and chronic fatigue. To combat these concerns, we recommend intramuscular vitamin injections.
These injections can boost energy levels and mental clarity, which makes them an effective supplement to the medical weight loss process.
You can also balance your vitamin levels with intravenous infusions. We do not include IV infusions as a part of our program, but patients can receive them at a member-exclusive reduced rate.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Your hormones play an important role in many of your body’s everyday functions. Hormones affect your mood, your hair, your libido, your muscle mass, and your weight.
If you’ve found it difficult to lose weight, even when you’re making healthy choices, the cause may be a hormonal imbalance. Our providers can pair injections of GLP-1 with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help you achieve your ideal results.
At Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, we examine the whole picture, so you can achieve the results you’re looking for.
