Compound Semaglutide
To truly understand why Semaglutide is so effective for weight loss and blood sugar management, you first need to know what happens inside your body every time you eat carbohydrates and sugar.
Your body runs on three main sources of energy: proteins (which build and repair muscle), fats (which store energy), and carbohydrates (your body’s quickest source of fuel, including sugars). A balanced intake helps keep blood sugar steady, maintains muscle mass, and encourages the body to burn fat efficiently.
However, when you consume more carbs and sugars than your body can process, the excess gets stored as fat. Over time, this leads to weight gain and metabolic challenges like prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, where the body’s insulin production or response becomes impaired.
Semaglutide helps address these issues at the root. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it mimics the natural hormone GLP-1, encouraging the body to produce more insulin after meals, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
But Semaglutide’s benefits don’t stop there. It also slows digestion, which helps you feel full longer, and acts on the brain’s appetite centers to reduce hunger and cravings. These combined effects make it a powerful tool for both blood sugar control and healthy, sustainable weight loss.
At Vivrant Aesthetics Health & Wellness MedSpa, we take a comprehensive approach that includes clinical guidance, education, and advanced therapies tailored specifically to you.
Let’s walk through the most popular options: GLP-1 Peptides, and how they can support your wellness journey.
What Are GLP-1 Peptides?
GLP-1 peptides, like Semaglutide (Ozempic) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), are FDA-approved medications originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. They’ve also been found to be highly effective for medical weight loss. These medications mimic a natural hormone in the body, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and reduce appetite.
At Vivrant Medspa, our GLP-1 Peptide therapy is combined with a unique blend of essential vitamins designed to work similarly to the original formulation, delivering the same weight loss results. This special compounded version requires customized dosing to ensure appropriate clinical response and individual tolerance. It is sterilely crafted by certified and accredited compounding pharmacies for patient-specific use.
How Do GLP-1 Peptides Work in the Body?
Medical weight loss injections with GLP-1 peptides support your body in several powerful ways:
-
Slow down stomach emptying to keep you fuller, longer
-
Reduce cravings by acting on hunger-regulating receptors in the brain
-
Improve insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar
-
Support consistent calorie reduction without intense hunger
When paired with healthy eating habits and movement, this therapy can help create sustainable, gradual weight loss, without the yo-yo effect.
Are There Side Effects?
Like any medication, GLP-1 peptide therapy may have side effects, especially when starting treatment. Very minimal to no side effects reported by customers. However, the most common include:
-
Nausea
-
Diarrhea
-
Constipation
-
Stomach discomfort
That’s why at Vivrant Medspa, we monitor you closely and adjust your treatment plan based on how your body responds.
How Are the Injections Given?
GLP-1 peptides are administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection using a very fine needle. It’s simple, quick, and easy to do at home after proper training. The once-weekly schedule offers steady, long-lasting appetite support without the highs and lows associated with other weight loss medications.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
Results vary from person to person. However, many individuals experience consistent and meaningful weight loss when the therapy is used alongside proper nutrition and physical activity. We’ll work with you to set realistic goals based on:
-
Your starting weight
-
Your commitment to lifestyle changes with nutrition and exercise
-
Your overall health and metabolism
Do I Have to Be Diabetic?
No, you don’t have to be diabetic to use GLP-1 peptides. Although originally developed for diabetes management, these medications are FDA-approved for weight loss in individuals without diabetes who meet certain medical criteria. Many of my non-diabetic patients have seen transformational results.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a candidate if you:
-
Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or
-
Have a BMI over 27 with related conditions like high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or high cholesterol
We’ll conduct a thorough health assessment, lab work, and personalized evaluation before initiating any treatment.
Who Should Not Use These Treatments?
GLP-1 peptides may not be appropriate for people with:
-
A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
-
MEN 2 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome)
-
Pancreatitis
-
Severe kidney or gallbladder issues
Are There Other Benefits?
Yes! GLP-1 Peptide therapy can improve much more than just your waistline:
-
Enhanced energy
-
Improved fertility and hormonal balance
-
Reduction in PCOS symptoms
-
Better metabolic health overall
