A: Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that uses prescription medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, combined with nutrition counseling and lifestyle guidance, to help patients lose weight safely. Unlike fad diets, medical weight loss focuses on treating the root causes of weight gain and provides long-term, sustainable results under professional care.

A: Both medications are GLP-1 receptor agonists, with Tirzepatide also activating GIP receptors. They work by:

• Reducing appetite and cravings
  
• Slowing digestion so you feel full longer
• Regulating blood sugar and metabolism

Clinical studies show patients can lose 10–20% of their body weight with these treatments.

A: You may be a candidate if you:

• Have a BMI of 27+ with weight-related health issues or a BMI of 30+
  
• Struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
• Are looking for a safe, non-surgical solution for long-term weight management

A consultation with our medical team will determine if Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is right for you.

A: Yes. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are considered safe when prescribed and administered under proper medical supervision. At Perizia Aesthetics in Jupiter, FL, our team carefully monitors your progress, adjusts your dosage as needed, and manages any potential side effects to help ensure your safety throughout treatment.

A: Most patients experience steady weight reduction over several months. Results may include:

• 10–20% total body weight loss
  
• Improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels
  
• Reduced risk of chronic diseases
  
• Increased energy, mobility, and confidence

A: Many patients begin noticing changes within the first 4–6 weeks, including reduced appetite, improved portion control, and gradual weight loss. Maximum results are typically achieved after several months of consistent treatment.

A: Your consultation includes a full medical history review, weight and body composition analysis, and goal setting. We’ll discuss your options, explain how Semaglutide and Tirzepatide programs work, and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

A: No extreme diets are required. Instead, our team provides realistic nutrition counseling designed to fit your lifestyle. By combining balanced eating with medication, patients see better and more sustainable results than with dieting alone.

A: Common side effects may include mild nausea, digestive changes, or fatigue, especially when starting treatment. These symptoms usually improve as your body adjusts. Our providers carefully monitor each patient to minimize discomfort and ensure safety.

A: Most patients remain on treatment for several months to a year, depending on their weight loss goals. After achieving results, we help transition patients into a maintenance phase to support long-term success.

A: Yes. In addition to weight loss, GLP-1 medications have been shown to improve or reduce the risk of:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Cardiovascular disease

Patients often report improved energy, sleep, and overall quality of life.

A: Coverage varies by insurance provider and plan. While some insurers may cover weight loss medications or related services, others may not. During your consultation, our team can provide guidance on cost factors and payment options.
