Weight loss injections can help people shed pounds as part of an overall weight loss program. Some people report that our treatments are the missing ingredient that they’ve been looking for, as they may have already been trying to eat right and exercise more, but results weren’t happening for them. Taken together, a healthy diet, more activity, and weight loss injections can help many people who haven’t been able to lose weight before.
Here, we’ll tell you what to expect with weight loss injection treatment. You can then schedule a personalized consultation with Pele Aesthetics to learn more. We are a medical spa located just north of Atlanta, in Marietta, GA.
Our weight loss injection treatments target pathways that control hunger and energy metabolism. They prompt insulin to be released, which helps control blood sugar levels and makes you feel fuller. They also slow down the emptying of the stomach, which makes you feel full for longer after a meal. Our treatments have been shown to lower hunger and food cravings by working on parts of the brain that control signals for hunger and fullness. Many people who have tried these treatments and updated their lifestyle with reduced calorie diets and increased exercise, were able to lose weight and keep it off.
Our treatments are administered as a weekly injection in what is called a phased or stepped dosage treatment schedule. Thanks to their ability to slow down the digestive process and make the patient feel full on less food, our treatments can be part of a comprehensive weight management program that will include close monitoring by our medical team, so you have the best opportunity to lose weight and maintain your goal weight.
Our medical weight loss professionals at Pele Aesthetics in Marietta, GA, will review the benefits of our treatments with you. These are typically approved for use in adults with weight issues, or weight loss issues and one or more health problems.
You can potentially lose between 6-10% of your body weight. Most patients lose 8 pounds in their first month of treatment.
You will slowly work your way up to the target dose, at which time you will see the most weight loss. It is essential to remember that weight loss can take time, and you’ll see the best results when you are combining this treatment with a healthy diet and exercise.
If you feel the medication is not working for you or that you will not be able to tolerate the total dose due to side effects, your practitioner will provide additional options or change the protocol to suit your individual needs better.
We recommend that while using our weight loss injection treatments, you start exercising and eating healthy so that when the time comes to wean off the medication, you maintain healthy habits to keep your ideal weight.
Our weight loss injection treatments help minimize cravings and hunger by reducing appetite and slowing digestion. The medication makes it possible to adhere to a low-calorie diet. After weeks to months of using the injections, you will note gradual weight loss.
The injections help minimize body fat by eliminating abdominal fat and increasing lean body mass. Our weight loss medication efficiently increases metabolism and ensures you burn calories faster. In the long run, you will be able to lose weight healthily.
Our weight loss injections are well-tolerated and safe for most patients. They are an effective treatment that helps promote weight loss and prevent weight regain. They also help you potentially avoid the effects of chronic diseases such as obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and varicose veins.
Your treatment will be customized to your needs. Our nurse will ask for your complete medical history and ask for your most recent lab results to share with our doctor; after analyzing, we will order the medication. If you don’t have a recent lab result (within the last six months to one year), we can refer you to the Quest diagnostics lab closest to you.
We will work that out with you at your consultation; it is usually several hundred dollars in the first month. The price increases after two months due to the rise in the dosage of medication.
The medicine is injected subcutaneously and has long-term effects. Our specialists review your weight management journey and increase the doses as needed.
You may have tried many other ways to lose weight and didn’t succeed. It can be hard to do it on your own. We can introduce you to what our weight loss injection treatments can potentially do for you. By combining our treatments with a sensible diet and regular exercise, you have an opportunity to lose weight and keep it off.
