Weight Loss Injections
Weight Loss Treatments
Wegovy (semaglutide) and Zepbound (tirzepatide) are prescription medications that mimic gut hormones to regulate appetite and enhance glucose metabolism. They are self‐administered once weekly with a pen device and are titrated from a low dose to a target dose over several weeks. In clinical trials, adults taking Wegovy lost an average of 15 % of their body weight after 68 weeks, while those on the highest dose of Zepbound lost about 18 % after 72 weeks. Our providers support you every step, combining medication with nutrition and lifestyle coaching for sustainable results.
