Weight Loss Injections Poway

Weight loss injections are a minimally invasive treatment that serve to boost a patient’s weight loss journey. This type of procedure takes minutes to complete, and can ultimately work to reduce appetite, control hunger, kickstart the metabolism, and help burn fat. People are constantly trying to lose weight through a cycle of crash diets, vigorous exercises, and more. However, the scale may refuse to budge. This is where Poway weight loss injections can help!

Weight loss injections have been deemed effective for weight loss through countless studies. One study found that patients using GLP-1 for a period of 6 months were able to lose up to 10.9% of their body weight between that period. This translated to about 12.3 kg (27 pounds) for patients in the study’s cohort. This can be extremely beneficial for many patients of all ages, especially if they’re dealing with conditions associated with obesity.

How can you tell when it’s time to consider weight loss injections? At The Studio Med Spa, we provide patients with a consultation to learn more about our weight loss injection treatments. This also lets our certified physician providers take a look at medical history, weight goals, lifestyle, and other factors. If you find yourself with: 

• A BMI of 27 or higher along with one weight-related condition (diabetes, high blood cholesterol, etc.)
• A BMI of 30 or higher
• Excessive weight or being placed in the obese weight category
• A plateau in your weight loss journey

This may be the perfect opportunity to look into weight loss injections!

There are a few weight loss injections on the market. However, only a few can truly provide the most beneficial results for patients. At The Studio Med Spa in Poway, we provide two specific weight loss injection treatments. These include:

GLP-1 injections are incredibly beneficial when it comes to weight loss. These injections work by providing GLP-1 agonists to the body, which mimic the effects of the GLP-1 hormone that naturally develops within the body. This results in a reduction of cravings, slower digestion, and of course, a reduced intake of calories. GLP-1 can also help lower the risk of heart disease, lower insulin sensitivity, and more.

MIC-B12 injections are developed with a powerful blend of lipotropic agents and B vitamins. These natural ingredients can help jumpstart the metabolism, lead to higher fat burning, help with toxins in the liver, and also help increase energy production. MIC-B12 shots have also been shown to help with mood swings and symptoms of depression. You’ll be able to nourish both the body and mind with this injection treatment.

Weight loss injection treatments take minutes to complete. These injections are administered using fine needles in areas of subcutaneous fat, including the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. There is minimal downtime required for these injections. This means patients are in and out of the clinic that same day, ready to go about their usual routines!

This can ultimately depend on your weight loss goals, as well as the injection type. Most weight loss injection treatments are done on a weekly basis. Maintenance injection treatments may be spaced out even further, such as once every two weeks or similar. Speaking with a provider at The Studio Med Spa can help you learn more!

Such as with any injection treatment, there may be some mild side effects that accompany weight loss injections. Fortunately, these side effects are temporary and usually clear up after a few days. The most common mild side effects of weight loss injections include fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and stomach pain.
