Tirzepatide is a type of GLP-1 agonist, a type of medication that is used to treat both diabetes and obesity. GLP-1 agonists like Tirzepatide mimic the effects of the hormone GLP-1, a hormone produced by the body in response to eating. Tirzepatide can help balance your blood sugar levels, reduce your appetite, and boost your metabolism. Tirzepatide is administered via injection. You can talk to a Uptown clinician to decide whether or not Tirzepatide can help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Tirzepatide can be a powerful tool in your weight loss journey. Here at Uptown Medical Wellness & Anti-Aging Center, we love Tirzepatide because of its many awesome benefits:
Tirzepatide is a great option for weight loss, but it isn’t right for everyone. In general, Tirzepatide is only recommended for those with a high enough body mass index as well as at least one weight-related health condition.
Tirzepatide is similar to the treatment Semaglutide, also known as Ozempic. The primary difference comes down to the fact that Tirzepatide can only be taken via injection, while Semaglutide can come in pill form. There are also differences in dosing. You can talk to a med spa clinician to decide what form of GLP-1 agonist is right for you.
To see significant results from Tirzepatide, you will need to use the treatment consistently for several months. With consistent use, you can expect to lose weight and experience a reduction in appetite. You may begin to see signs of weight loss within a month of starting treatment.
Tirzepatide is associated with some common side effects, including nausea, constipation, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. However, these effects should fade over time. You can talk to your med spa clinician to learn more about what to expect from treatment.
