What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss (GLP-1) at Skin Envy Cosmetic and Laser Center in Bay Ridge, BK, leverages the power of semaglutide and tirzepatide to aid in weight reduction. Semaglutide acts as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, enhancing the body’s natural ability to control appetite and calorie consumption. Tirzepatide takes it a step further by combining GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) to improve blood sugar regulation and body weight control. Both medications work by targeting the brain’s appetite centers, effectively reducing hunger and promoting feelings of fullness. These medications are administered via subcutaneous injections and are particularly effective for those struggling with obesity or excessive weight.
At Skin Envy Cosmetic and Laser Center, medical weight loss (GLP-1) is designed for individuals who have found diet and exercise alone insufficient for achieving their weight loss goals. Initial results are typically noticeable within a few weeks, with substantial sustainable weight loss becoming evident over several months. If you’re ready to explore this innovative treatment, schedule your consultation with Skin Envy Cosmetic and Laser Center in Bay Ridge, BK, today.

FAQ
About Medical Weight Loss
Medical weight loss (GLP-1) employs medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide to mimic hormones that regulate hunger and fullness, reducing appetite and enhancing satisfaction from smaller meals.
Semaglutide focuses on GLP-1 receptor activity to manage appetite. Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP actions for improved blood sugar control and enhanced weight loss.
This treatment is ideal for adults who struggle with significant weight loss through traditional methods and seek a medically supervised, non-surgical solution. We offer a quick, convenient online self-assessment for prospective patients to guage vaibility.
Results are typically visible within weeks, with substantial weight loss occurring over several months. The timeline depends on individual metabolic responses and adherence to the treatment plan.
Results from GLP-1 medications can be sustained for as long as the treatment is continued, typically showing significant weight loss within 3–6 months of use. If the medication is discontinued, studies indicate that partial weight regain may occur within 3–12 months, depending on individual factors and adherence to healthy lifestyle habits.
Medical weight loss (GLP-1) uses medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide to mimic incretin hormones, which regulate appetite and blood sugar. These medications enhance insulin secretion, suppress glucagon, slow gastric emptying, and act on the brain’s appetite centers to reduce hunger and increase fullness. This combination promotes weight loss and stabilizes glucose levels, providing an effective and clinically proven approach to managing obesity and metabolic health.
