At Orchidia Medical Group in Naples, FL, we offer weight loss injections to provide a safe and efficient way for patients to reach their goal weight. Our treatment options include tirzepatide and semaglutide injections, both of which can enhance weight loss by suppressing the appetite and balancing blood sugar levels.
What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are FDA-approved medications in an injectable form that, when administered to the body, promote weight loss so that patients can achieve their results quicker than they would with traditional methods like diet and exercise alone. At Orchidia Medical Group, we offer two injectable treatment options to help patients lose weight: tirzepatide and semaglutide injections.
Both of these injections can accelerate weight loss, assist the body in regulating blood sugar levels, and reduce the appetite so that you can stay the course, avoid unhealthy food choices, and get one step closer to your ideal weight.
Semaglutide Injections
Semaglutide is a medication that can treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity and help patients lose weight. It mimics one of the body’s natural hormones, GLP-1, which is responsible for regulating appetite and promoting feelings of fullness after eating. Semaglutide also balances blood sugar levels to promote healthy and accelerated weight loss.
Tirzepatide Injections
Tirzepatide injections are similar to semaglutide injections in that they promote accelerated weight loss by working alongside traditional methods like dietary changes and an exercise regimen to help patients achieve their goal weight faster than they would without them. Like semaglutide, tirzepatide regulates blood sugar and treats Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
It mimics the natural hormone GLP-1 to reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and stimulate glucagon receptors. The primary difference between tirzepatide and semaglutide injections is that semaglutide stimulates the GLP-1 hormone, while tirzepatide stimulates both GLP-1 and GIP hormones.
What Are the Benefits of Undergoing a Weight Loss Treatment Plan With Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Patients who want to lose weight quickly and safely and aren’t seeing the results they’d like from traditional diet and exercise weight loss methods can benefit from a semaglutide or tirzepatide injection treatment plan. Some of the treatment benefits include the following:
- Both regulate and reduce appetite to promote weight loss
- Both help patients feel fuller for longer
- Both may prevent emotional eating and succumbing to cravings
- By treating obesity, these injections reduce the risk of patients developing obesity-related health conditions
- Both are safe and FDA-approved for use
- Both can help patients lose a few pounds or a significant amount of weight
How Does the Treatment Process Work?
Both semaglutide and tirzepatide must be administered once weekly for optimal results. We will administer these injectables with a small, fine needle into the fatty tissue below the skin’s surface. The injection itself is quick and virtually painless, and once it’s over, you can go about your day.
When Will I See the Results?
The best results are evident within several weeks of beginning treatment. One way to monitor your progress is to record your weight at the beginning of your treatment and weigh yourself weekly. At your initial consultation, we will learn more about your treatment goals, determine your starting weight, and then tell you what you can expect from the treatment process.
