Semaglutide, recognized as a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy®, which is FDA-approved for long-term weight management.
Tirzepatide is an innovative dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist with the same active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound™, which is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight.
Our wellness program with semaglutide and tirzepatide is perfect for individuals who are:
● Overweight (BMI >25) or obese (BMI >30)
● Committed to a healthier lifestyle with a healthy diet and regular exercise
● Do not have Diabetes
Part of your personal assessment will include discussing your medical history and any medications you’re taking. Before we begin your injections, we’ll need to know if you have any of the following conditions:
● Endocrine tumors
● Personal or family history of thyroid cancer
● Pancreatitis
● Diabetic Retinopathy
● Kidney disease
● Gallbladder disease
● Eye disease or vision problems
● Stomach problems
● Pregnancy (if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding)
● Increase your energy
● Enhance your quality of life and boost your self-confidence
● Improve your sleep
● Improve your overall health
● Lose unwanted pounds
● Provide you a feeling of being in control of your body
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are administered once weekly as subcutaneous injections (under the skin). During your appointment, we’ll show you how to properly perform the injections so you can easily administer them at home. You’ll want to inject the medication into the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh.
Some of the side effects of semaglutide and tirzepatide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. We will work with you to adjust dosage and frequency based on your results and how you are feeling and doing.
Both GLP-1 medications begin to work within the first week, with full effects taking about eight weeks or more.
Semaglutide – $400 per month
Terzepatide – $600 per month
B-12 injection add-ons – $25 per month
Why GLP-1 Wellness Program with Dermatology + Plastic Surgery
At Dermatology + Plastic Surgery, Kristen Roff, APRN has been safely guiding patients along their wellness journey for over seven years with GLP-1 wellness & weight loss programs.
Our goal is to help you reduce weight carefully with health and aesthetic goals in mind.
From a plastic surgery perspective, a healthy BMI is a must before and after surgery, and there is data that there is a role for GLP-1 in certain cases. This option may not be for everyone, but it can work wonders for the right candidates. The goal is to see mild side effects with careful dosing adjustments and avoid pushing the dose too high for rapid weight loss, which is bad for the skin (and muscle).
Additionally, a number of dermatology diseases improve when obesity/metabolic health improves, and GLP1 medications, when done properly, are safer than many of our immunosuppressive medication choices.
