Weight Loss Injections Q&A

What are weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections are injectable medications that aid weight loss, primarily by regulating hunger and blood sugar and boosting your metabolism.

Your provider can discuss the full suite of weight loss solutions available at Rinnova Skin & Body and tailor their recommendations to suit your needs, goals, and medical history. They offer some of the highest-quality treatment options available, including weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.

Are tirzepatide and semaglutide the same weight loss injection?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide aid weight loss in slightly different ways.

Semaglutide is found in Wegovy® and Ozempic®. Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone in the body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps control appetite and makes you feel more satisfied with smaller amounts of food. Because it’s also proven to regulate blood sugar levels, semaglutide is a great tool for managing Type 2 diabetes.

On the other hand, Tirzepatide (found in Zepbound® and Mounjaro®) is a newer medication that targets two different hormones: GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Tirzepatide effectively curbs appetite and jumpstarts your metabolism for improved fat loss.

Both help you feel fuller and support weight loss, and your Rinnova Skin & Body provider can recommend a good fit.

Will I have any side effects with weight loss injections?

As your body adjusts to the medication, you may temporarily experience:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea

Having more serious side effects is unusual, but keep your provider updated. The team at Rinnova Skin & Body aims to keep you comfortable and ensure your treatment is safe and effective every step of the way.

Am I a good candidate for weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections are most effective if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher or 27, with associated weight-related health issues. If you’re pregnant, your provider can discuss other methods for managing your weight for now.

How often will I need weight loss injections?

Typically, you’ll have a weight loss injection once a week. The process is quick and fits neatly into most schedules. After reviewing your goals and medical history, your provider can discuss available treatments and establish a personalized care plan.
