Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1
Now offering Semaglutide & Tirzepatide for safe, medically supervised weight loss.
Medical weight loss using GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications has transformed how physicians help adults with obesity or excess weight achieve real, sustainable results. These therapies work with your body’s natural metabolism to reduce hunger, support healthy eating habits, and improve metabolic health — beyond traditional diet and exercise alone.
At My Skin, we are proud to offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide — advanced, evidence-based weight loss medications — as part of our Medical Weight Loss Program tailored to your needs.
What Is Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications that mimic a hormone your body naturally produces after eating. This hormone helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion, making GLP-1 therapies powerful support for weight reduction when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
Two key medications we offer:
Semaglutide – A GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and supports weight loss through appetite control and prolonged fullness.
Tirzepatide – A dual-acting therapy that targets both GLP-1 and GIP pathways, showing highly effective weight reduction in clinical studies.
How Does GLP-1 Weight Loss Work?
GLP-1 medications help your body:
Reduce hunger and cravings by signaling fullness more effectively.
Slow gastric emptying, so you feel satisfied sooner and longer after meals.
Improve blood sugar control, which supports metabolic health.
The result is a gradual and sustainable weight loss journey. Medical supervision is crucial to ensure safety and effectiveness.
