FAQ
What are GLP-1s or "weight loss shots" and Why Is It Effective for Weight Loss?
GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a type of medication that has been gaining attention for its effectiveness in weight management. Originally used to treat type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels, making them effective weight loss medications. By slowing down gastric emptying and enhancing the feeling of fullness, GLP-1 medications make it easier to control portion sizes and reduce overall calorie intake.
GLP-1 Benefits:
• Appetite Control: GLP-1 medications help reduce cravings and make you feel full sooner, so you eat less without feeling deprived, which is crucial for effective weight loss services.
• Blood Sugar Regulation: These medications also help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of spikes and crashes that can lead to overeating.
• Sustained Weight Loss: Clinical studies have shown that GLP-1 medications can result in significant, sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
• Safe and FDA-Approved: GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity and have been extensively studied for their safety and effectiveness.
Does Salt Aesthetics work with my insurance provider?
Salt Aesthetics is a private pay practice and we do not work with insurance companies for reimbursements. Our difference is our concierge approach to managing your health, and by staying a private pay practice, we can keep our patient panel small.
Differences Between Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro) are both injectable medications used for weight management and type 2 diabetes, but they work differently. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking the hormone that regulates appetite and improves insulin secretion. Wegovy is approved for obesity, while Ozempic is for type 2 diabetes, with weight loss as a secondary benefit. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, targeting two pathways to enhance insulin secretion and reduce appetite.
What is medical weight loss, and how does it differ from other weight loss programs?
Medical weight loss is a provider-supervised program that combines medical treatments with lifestyle changes to help individuals lose weight safely and effectively. Unlike commercial weight loss programs, medical weight loss is tailored to your specific needs and is designed to address any underlying medical conditions that may be affecting your ability to lose weight.
How do GLP-1 medications work for weight loss?
GLP-1 medications work by mimicking a natural hormone in the body that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. By slowing down the rate at which your stomach empties and increasing the feeling of fullness, GLP-1 medications help you eat less and reduce cravings, leading to weight loss as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Are GLP-1 medications safe?
Yes, GLP-1 medications are FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity and have been extensively studied for their safety and effectiveness in both weight loss and diabetes management. Our medical professionals will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed to ensure your safety.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results vary depending on individual factors such as starting weight, adherence to the program, and overall health, particularly in those who are overweight or obese. However, many clients experience significant weight loss within the first few months of starting the medically supervised program. Our focus is on helping you achieve sustainable results that you can maintain long-term.
Will I need to follow a strict diet?
While dietary changes are an important approach to weight loss in our program, we don’t believe in restrictive diets. Instead, we’ll work with you to develop healthy eating habits that are balanced and sustainable. Our goal is to help you enjoy your food while making choices that support your weight loss goals.
Can I continue the program after reaching my weight loss goal?
Absolutely! Maintaining your weight loss is just as important as achieving it. We offer ongoing support and follow-up care to help you stay on track and continue living a healthy lifestyle.
