What is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a clinically guided, prescription-based approach to shedding excess weight and improving metabolic health. Unlike DIY diets or trendy supplements, this program is designed around your individual biology, using safe and effective medications to help regulate appetite, stabilize blood sugar, and reset your body’s natural rhythm — under expert supervision.

What are the benefits of Medical Weight Loss?

  • Suppresses appetite and reduces cravings
  • Increases satiety so you feel full longer
  • Slows gastric emptying for better portion control
  • Supports blood sugar and insulin regulation
  • Helps reduce visceral fat — the most harmful kind
  • Boosts confidence and energy levels over time

Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide: What’s the Difference?

Both medications belong to the GLP-1 family and offer exceptional weight loss results — but they aren’t identical.

  • Semaglutide: GLP-1 only, with a well-documented history of safe, effective weight loss
  • Tirzepatide: GLP-1 + GIP dual agonist, often associated with faster or slightly greater fat loss in some individuals

Your provider will help choose the best fit for your metabolism and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

In clinical trials lasting 56 to 68 weeks, non-diabetic participants with obesity or overweight who used GLP-1 medications alongside diet and exercise lost an average up to 15% of their body weight. Comparatively, those who only followed a diet and exercise plan achieved weight loss of 3.5% to 2.4%.

The most common side effects may include:

  1. Gastrointestinal issues: Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain are quite common, especially when starting the medication or after a dose increase.
  2. Reduced appetite: Many people experience a decrease in hunger, which can contribute to weight loss.
  3. Hypoglycemia: In some cases, especially when used with other glucose-lowering medications, tirzepatide can cause low blood sugar levels.
  4. Injection site reactions: Redness, itching, or swelling at the site of injection may occur.
  5. Fatigue: Some individuals might feel unusually tired.

It’s important to monitor for these side effects and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider, who can provide guidance on managing them or adjust the treatment plan if necessary.

Accelerated Aesthetics works with compounding pharmacies that are licensed at the state level to create compounded semaglutide. Compounding is regulated by both FDA and state boards of pharmacy. A licensed compounding pharmacy must comply with both federal and state laws, which include administrative requirements and quality standards.

When using weight loss injections for the treatment of weight loss, it’s essential to be aware of some important safety information to ensure its safe and effective use:

  • Hypoglycemia: Tirzepatide and semaglutide may lower blood sugar levels, especially when combined with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. Monitor your blood glucose regularly and be aware of the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
  • Gastrointestinal issues: Common side effects of tirzepatide and semaglutide include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These effects are generally mild to moderate and often decrease over time. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
  • Allergic reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to tirzepatide and semaglutide are possible. If you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Kidney function: In some cases, tirzepatide and semaglutide may affect kidney function. If you have a history of kidney disease or notice any signs of kidney problems (e.g., changes in urine output, swelling in your legs or feet), inform your healthcare provider.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of tirzepatide and semaglutide during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not well-established. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
  • Drug interactions: Tirzepatide, and semaglutide, may interact with other medications, affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements.
  • Contraindications: Do not use semaglutide if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you are allergic to semaglutide or any of its components.
  • Pancreatitis: Semaglutide may increase the risk of pancreatitis. If you experience severe abdominal pain, with or without vomiting, consult your healthcare professional immediately.

This list is not exhaustive, and it’s crucial to discuss any medical conditions or concerns with your healthcare provider before starting tirzepatide. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for using the medication and promptly report any side effects or concerns.
