How GLP-1 Based Weight Loss Works
We understand that every client who comes to our medspa is unique, which is why our approach to weight loss treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Our experienced teams of medical professionals take your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss objectives into consideration as we determine the next best steps for you. Here at SM Drip Med Spa, our weight loss treatment is GLP-1-based. But how does it work?
GLP-1-based weight loss treatment works by using medications that mimic the action of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This GLP-1 hormone regulates your appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. There are currently 3 GLP-1 based weight loss agents which work on various receptors. These medications assist in slowing down gastric emptying, which can help you feel fuller for longer and reduce feelings of hunger. They also influence your brain's appetite centers, which can help decrease cravings and encourage the development of healthier eating habits in the long term. When you choose SM Drip Med Spa to administer these medication with medical supervision, you will find that this treatment is safe, effective, and offers sustainable weight loss, specifically when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle changes. We offer competitive pricing (starting as little as $350/month), as well as a patient-specific dosing and weight loss plan run by professionals. Our clients have had excellent success losing and keeping weight off.

GLP-1 agonists are an FDA-approved type of medication specifically designed for adult weight management. There are various brands of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1 that the body naturally produces. The breakthrough weight loss solution lowers blood sugar levels after meals. It regulates blood sugar by stimulating glucose-dependent insulin secretion.
GLP-1 slows down the release of sugar into your blood, so your body burns more fat. It also delays stomach emptying, leaving you feeling fuller longer and limiting your overall calorie consumption.
Several clinical studies show that weekly GLP-1 injections are highly effective at promoting weight loss. In one study, individuals treated lost an average of 9-13 percent of their body weight over the course of a year without making any changes to their diet and exercise habits.
-
Most common side effects are nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, diarrhea, tiredness, dizziness, or constipation. Initial side effects usually lessen as you continue to use GLP-1s.
-
It’s crucial to know that results don’t manifest right away. Having realistic expectations and attending all your treatment sessions will increase your chances of satisfactory results. Men and women who eat well, exercise, and stick to their treatment plans observe a stunning transformation.
One way to stay motivated and observe your progress is by taking before and after photos. Session after session, you’ll see how your body is reacting to the treatment.
GLP-1 is a promising option for those looking to lose weight. Its ability to suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and increase fullness can lead to faster weight loss. Those with Type-2 diabetes especially benefit from an extra perk—improved blood sugar control.
-
GLP-1 medications are ideal for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater or adults with a BMI of 27 and at least one complication related to body weight, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or heart disease.
-
Most patients will begin to see weight loss after their initial dose has increased one to two times, typically within a month.
-
GLP-1 medications are injected just under the skin (subcutaneously), typically in your abdomen.
-
Despite GLP-1s being a good weight loss tool for many people, it's not for everyone. Certain people shouldn't take it:
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
People with a history of pancreatitis
People with Type-1 diabetes
People with an allergy to any GLP-1 agonist (or any of their ingredients).
People with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
Always consult a medical professional before taking GLP-1s. Be open and honest about any pre-existing conditions and allergies, so we can make sure it's a good fit before beginning treatment.
