Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a prescription medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes but now used for medical weight loss. Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain and gut, it signals that you’re full sooner and reduces hunger between meals.

This dual-action approach not only helps control your appetite but also slows the emptying of your stomach, so you stay fuller for longer after eating. The result is a natural reduction in food intake, leading to steady and sustained weight loss over time. Semaglutide can be a powerful, safe, and effective tool for achieving and maintaining long-term weight loss.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a cutting-edge injectable that aids in weight loss by mimicking two key hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play a crucial role in regulating appetite, insulin levels, and the way your body processes food. By activating both receptors, tirzepatide works more effectively than medications that target only one hormone.

This dual-action mechanism reduces hunger, slows the rate of stomach emptying, and helps you feel satisfied with less food. At Invigue, we use tirzepatide as part of a personalized medical weight loss program to help you lose weight in a safe, consistent, and sustainable way. It’s especially effective when paired with healthy lifestyle changes and professional support.

Medical Weight Loss FAQs

How is medical weight loss different from regular dieting?

Medical weight loss goes beyond typical diet plans by using clinically approved medications and expert medical supervision to support weight loss. At Invigue, we tailor your treatment to your unique health profile, monitor your progress regularly, and adjust it as needed to achieve safe and sustainable results. Unlike generic diets, medical weight loss is designed to help you lose fat effectively while preserving muscle and promoting overall wellness.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Results vary, but many patients lose 1 to 2 pounds per week on average. Clinical studies have shown that patients using semaglutide can lose 15% or more of their body weight, while those using tirzepatide may experience weight loss of up to 20% of their weight. Your exact results will depend on your starting point, commitment, and how your body responds to the program.

How quickly will I see results?

While individual results may vary, many patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of starting treatment. Most people experience steady, consistent results over time. Our goal is to help you lose weight at a healthy pace and maintain those results long-term without resorting to crash diets or unsafe methods.
