GLP-1 Peptide Therapy for Weight Management
Struggling with weight loss? At Mountcastle Laser and Aesthetics in Lillington, NC, we offer compounded peptide-based medications that work similarly to popular GLP-1 drugs to help regulate appetite and promote healthy, lasting weight loss.
How It Works:
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which works by mimicking a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. It helps reduce hunger and increases feelings of fullness, making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan. The medication is administered via a weekly injection, and most patients experience gradual, sustainable weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide works by targeting specific areas of the brain that control appetite and food intake, making it easier to lose weight without feeling deprived.
We Also Offer Tirzepatide
Like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 medication, given as a once-weekly injection that works for weight loss by decreasing appetite and slowing the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine. It is thought to promote weight loss by causing individuals to eat fewer calories. Clinical trials have found it effective in reducing hemoglobin A1C levels and assisting with weight loss.
Tirzepatide works by decreasing appetite and slowing down the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, which helps you feel fuller for longer and eat less. This dual-action approach helps to reduce overall calorie intake, which is key for successful weight loss. In addition to its appetite-suppressing effects, clinical studies have demonstrated that Tirzepatide can significantly reduce hemoglobin A1C levels, making it an effective treatment for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar more effectively.
Clinical trials have shown that Tirzepatide is not only effective in promoting weight loss but also well-tolerated by patients. Most individuals can expect gradual, sustainable weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle. At Mountcastle Laser and Aesthetics, our medically supervised weight loss program ensures that you receive personalized care and support throughout your weight loss journey. Our experienced team will work closely with you to determine if Tirzepatide is the right option for you and create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
