Weight Loss Injections At New Visage

  • The New Visage Difference

    At New Visage, we are committed to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals through the most advanced and effective treatments available. Under the expert care of Nurse Practitioner Candace Moore, we offer Tirzepatide, a groundbreaking medication that has demonstrated remarkable potential in promoting significant weight loss.
    We begin with a thorough assessment of your health and blood labs, lifestyle, and weight loss goals to determine if Tirzepatide is the right option for you.

  • What is Tirzepatide?


    Tirzepatide is once-weekly medication that is used to help with chronic weight management. It works best when used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise. It works by impacting your body’s insulin levels, blood sugar production, and hunger hormones.
    Tirzepatide combines the actions of two incretin hormones, Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), to offer a comprehensive approach to weight management.

  • How Does Tirzepatide Work?

    Tirzepatide stands out as the first medication to combine two classes of drugs: a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. As such, Tirzepatide is known as a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. GLP-1 and GIP are incretin hormones released after eating.
    Tirzepatide works by mimicking the effects of these hormones, including: Stimulating the pancreas to release insulin after meals Signaling the liver to reduce glucose production These actions help you feel full, slow down digestion, lower blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and promote weight loss.

Benefits of Tirzepatide for Weight Loss

What are the Benefits of Using Tirzepatide?

 

Tirzepatide at New Visage offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to shed extra pounds. Here are some of the key advantages of tirzepatide:

Improved Glycemic Control

Tirzepatide has shown superior efficacy in reducing HbA1c levels, a measure of long-term blood sugar control, compared to other diabetes medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and insulin therapies. By stimulating the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon secretion, helping to regulate blood glucose levels effectively.

Weight Loss

Clinical trials have demonstrated significant weight loss effects with tirzepatide. It has shown superior weight reduction compared to other diabetes medications, including other GLP-1 receptor agonists. The weight loss associated with tirzepatide is attributed to its effects on appetite regulation and slowed gastric emptying.

Cardiovascular Benefits

Clinical studies suggest potential cardiovascular benefits of tirzepatide. It has been associated with reductions in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and markers of inflammation, which are all risk factors for cardiovascular disease. These findings indicate that tirzepatide may offer additional advantages beyond glucose control.

Convenience of Administration

Tirzepatide is administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection. This dosing schedule offers convenience and may enhance adherence compared to daily or multiple daily injections.

When you come in for your consultation, our team at New Visage will discuss these benefits with you in further detail, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident about using tirzepatide for weight loss.
