Most of us feel like we could stand to lose a few pounds to help us look our best. However, excess weight is far more than just an aesthetic concern. With My Doctors Live MediSpa in Lakeland, Florida, weight loss has never been easier. Through our dedication to excellent aesthetic care, we offer three injectable treatment options that can offer benefits ranging from general weight loss to targeted removal of unwanted weight.
Symptoms Addressed by Weight Loss Injections
- Difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone
- Plateauing weight loss efforts
- Slow metabolism
- Increased appetite or cravings
- Need for additional support in a weight loss journey
Why Weight Loss Injections are Needed
Weight Loss Injections are beneficial for individuals seeking additional support in their weight loss journey. These injections can help boost metabolism, reduce appetite, and aid in the body’s ability to burn fat, complementing diet and exercise efforts.
Our Selection of Weight Loss Treatments
Whether you’re striving to lose weight for your health or to improve your appearance, we’re here for you. We’re dedicated to providing effective treatments that can help you overcome the many challenges faced by those trying to drop a few pounds. Under the care of Mara Gomez, APRN, these options are quick and easy, offering options for both short-term weight loss and long-term maintenance:
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a modified version of a protein our bodies naturally produce that decreases blood sugar and appetite. When used as a medication, semaglutide has been found to be effective at lowering blood sugar and blood pressure levels as well as suppressing appetite.
Originally used to treat Type 2 Diabetes, the FDA has approved semaglutide as a weight-loss aid when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise.
Semaglutide acts as an appetite suppressant by mimicking existing hormones that interact with our digestive system. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist, a type of hormone that limits how quickly your stomach empties food. By increasing these hormone levels, semaglutide keeps you feeling fuller, longer. This can help you limit your overall calorie consumption, aiding in weight loss.
Tirzapatide (Generic Mounjaro™)
Tirzepatide is an FDA approved once weekly injection for weight loss. Known for its beneficial treatment of type II diabetes, it works as a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor and a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). Tirzepatide works by helping the patient decrease their food intake. It also works to improve glucose levels. Tirzepatide is also compounded with a B-12 complex that aids in suppressing any side effects of nausea and heartburn.
Lipo-Mino
Also known as lipotropic injections. It contains a lipotropic blend to help turn fats, carbohydrates, and sugars, into energy and B-vitamins to help further facilitate fat loss. It also helps decrease your appetite and increase metabolism. The carnitine in this injection will help reduce recovery time and promote muscle growth.
Lipo-Mino also breaks down the fat stored in your liver. These injections make an excellent complement to a healthy lifestyle combining balanced nutrition and exercise. The action of Lipo-Mino injections will help you achieve your goal weight, while ongoing treatments will help you stay there. Lipo-Mino is available from our clinic for $35 a treatment.
PCDC Lipolysis (Generic KYBELLA®)
PCDC or generic KYBELLA® uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. The compound is injected to break down the fat. Fat eliminated during the treatment is processed through your body’s natural metabolism.
FDA approved medications such as KYBELLA® or Phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate (PCDC) micro-injections which are injected locally into the targeted treatment areas. The fat cells absorb the PCDC and become slightly inflamed and then harden. The hardened fat cells break down within a few weeks and are eliminated via the body’s natural processes.
