Weight loss injections represent the cutting edge of medical weight management technology. These FDA-approved peptides work with your body’s natural systems to regulate appetite, metabolism, and fat storage.
By targeting specific hormonal pathways, these revolutionary treatments help you achieve sustainable weight loss while preserving muscle mass.
Through precise weekly injections of peptides like semaglutide (Wegovy®), tirzepatide (Zepbound®), and liraglutide (Saxenda®) our medical weight loss program helps you achieve lasting results by addressing the root causes of weight gain.
As glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, peptides like semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide work with your body’s natural systems to regulate hunger and satiety, helping you feel satisfied with smaller portions.
By optimizing your body’s natural fat-burning processes, these injections help maintain healthy blood sugar levels while promoting efficient metabolism and fat loss.
Multiple clinical trials have shown these U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved medications to be effective for long-term weight management when combined with lifestyle changes.
Unlike crash diets or quick fixes, weight loss injections work gradually to help you develop healthy eating habits while losing weight steadily and safely.
Our comprehensive program combines weight loss peptides with guidance on nutrition and physical activity for optimal results. The prescription peptides offer an alternative to bariatric surgery for many patients seeking obesity treatment as well as anyone looking to shed a little excess weight.
Unlike basic weight loss programs, our advanced diagnostic testing reveals your unique metabolic rate, thyroid function, and body composition.
Access to breakthrough treatments like semaglutide and tirzepatide when appropriate for your weight loss goals.
Board-certified physicians customize and monitor every aspect of your weight management program.
Comprehensive follow-up care including nutritional guidance, meal replacement options, and lifestyle coaching.
With evidence-based protocols and board-certified expertise, VYVE delivers the most advanced non-surgical body contouring procedures available today – a true alternative to traditional plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.
Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. This helps reduce hunger, control cravings, and promote steady weight loss through:
– Decreased appetite and food intake
– Slowed gastric emptying
– Improved insulin sensitivity
– Enhanced metabolic function
Clinical studies show that patients using weight loss injections typically lose 15-20% of their body weight over 12-18 months when combined with lifestyle changes. However, individual results vary based on:
– Starting weight and health status
– Adherence to the program
– Dietary and lifestyle changes
– Individual response to medication
While most common side effects are mild and temporary, it’s important to understand both common and serious side effects.
Most common side effects include:
– Nausea or constipation
– Changes in appetite
– Injection site reactions
– Temporary fatigue
More serious side effects requiring immediate attention:
– Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
– Gallbladder problems
– Allergic reactions
– Hypoglycemia (in diabetes patients)
Our medical team carefully screens for conditions like thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia, kidney disease, and other medical problems before starting treatment.
Weight loss injections are typically administered once weekly. Our program includes:
– Initial consultation and medical evaluation
– Supervised dose titration period
