Unveiling GLP-1: What is it?

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are a class of medications that stimulate insulin production and suppress glucagon secretion. GLP-1 receptor agonists help the pancreas release enough insulin, which can result in more insulin being available to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. These drugs mimic natural hormones released in the digestive system during digestion to regulate blood sugar and appetite. Additionally, GLP-1 is effective for weight loss, with the ability to help individuals lose a noticeable amount of their body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

GLP-1 Weight Loss: How does it work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are a type of medication used to help people lose weight safely and effectively. These injections work by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which plays an important role in regulating appetite and digestion. Simply put, GLP-1 tells your brain that you are full and satisfied after eating, which helps reduce cravings and prevent overeating.

In addition to curbing appetite, GLP-1 slows down how quickly your stomach empties, meaning food stays in your stomach longer. This helps you feel fuller for longer periods and reduces the urge to snack between meals. By eating less and feeling satisfied sooner, your overall calorie intake decreases, which supports steady and sustainable weight loss.

The amount of weight loss a patient experiences can vary depending on the dose of GLP-1 medication, lifestyle habits, and individual response. Common side effects are usually mild and may include nausea, bloating, or temporary digestive changes, which often improve as your body adjusts to the treatment.

At SkinMD, our medical providers work closely with each patient to determine the right GLP-1 therapy plan, tailoring the dosage and support to help you reach your weight loss goals safely while promoting long-term success.

Safety and Weight Loss Injections

Before starting any weight loss medication, including compounded versions, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider. Your provider can help you develop a safe and effective treatment plan tailored to your personal or family history, current health conditions, and weight management goals. They can also monitor for the most common side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and upset stomach, and adjust your treatment as needed.

In addition to medication, lifestyle changes such as a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise are essential for long-term weight management. Your healthcare provider can help you create a comprehensive treatment plan that combines medication, diet, and exercise to help you lose weight safely and effectively.

For the best results and to protect your overall health, use only FDA-approved medications under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, and follow a treatment plan that includes healthy lifestyle changes. This approach will help you achieve your weight loss goals while minimizing risks and supporting your long-term well-being.

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.
