As we enter a new year, many are setting resolutions and goals, with weight loss often topping the list.
While countless diet and weight loss plans, workout routines, and supplements are available, one emerging trend in the health and fitness industry is the use of specific injectable medications for weight management. Despite their growing popularity, weight management injections remain a topic often shrouded in mystery for many individuals.
In this article, we will demystify these injections and explore how they can help you achieve your weight goals in the New Year.
If you are curious about this cutting-edge and multifaceted approach, join us as we dive into the world of weight management injections.
Weight Management Injections
Most weight management injections on the market are medications originally created for other uses. Specifically, they were made to help control blood sugar and manage diabetes.
This phenomenon happens often in the world of medicine and is one of the great aspects of new and emerging science.
While some are still prescribed for their intended use, many providers have begun safely (and effectively!) prescribing these injections for weight loss.
Duluth Med Spa Injections
Duluth Med Spa offers three different injections to help our patients achieve their weight loss goals. Our providers will work with you to help you decide which option may be right for your needs.
Semaglutide:
Arguably the most popular weight management option, Semaglutide belongs to a class of drugs known as glucagon-like Protein-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.
It is used to stimulate insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion, and lower blood sugar. In simpler terms? It reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings.
Tirzepatide:
A newer weight loss option, Tirzepatide is a glucagon-like Protein-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and antidiabetic medication.
Working similarly to Semaglutide, research has shown that Tirzepatide may be more effective.
