We provide comprehensive information about the groundbreaking medications known as GLP-1’s. These innovative pharmaceutical compounds have garnered significant attention in the medical community for its remarkable potential in managing certain health conditions. GLP-1 receptor agonists are specifically designed to enhance the body’s natural production of insulin.
These compounds have demonstrated promising results in the management of various health conditions, including weight loss. This class of medication has extensively been studied for its efficacy at controlling blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, helping them achieve better glycemic control, stimulating insulin secretion, reducing glucagon production, and delaying gastric emptying, resulting in improved blood sugar regulation.
Moreover, GLP-1’s have also shown promise in weight management. Research indicates that these medications can lead to significant and sustainable weight loss in individuals with obesity, which can positively impact their overall health and well-being. By targeting the brain’s appetite control center, GLP-1’s help to reduce food cravings and increase satiety, thereby supporting long-term weight management goals. We offer a variety of GLP-1 medications at Timeless Med Spa. Come in for a complimentary consultation to talk with our weight loss counselors and provider about which option would be best for you.
GLP-1’s are weekly injections that target areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. They will slow your gastric emptying, helping you to feel full quicker and stay full longer. They also enhance the body’s natural production of insulin and regulate blood sugar, to help reduce cravings.
You can expect to self administer your injections after the first dose. We will teach you how to properly administer your medication and manage your dose. You will have follow up appointments with a nutritionist every 4 weeks and use the InBody body analysis to track your progress. While using the injections, your appetite will be supported by the GLP-1’s in a variety of ways. Appetite varies depending upon dose and individual metabolism. There are side effects and contraindications with using the GLP-1 weight loss injections. Schedule a free consultation to learn if you are a candidate.

Timeless Medical Spa understands that there is no successful one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss. Research has found that when patients are allowed to discontinue their drug use after one year, some patients regain the weight they lost. This shows a potential need for maintenance doses for long-term success. To help our guests maintain their weight loss, we highly recommend joining our weight loss maintenance program.
