Effective, Physician-Guided Support for Weight Loss
Injectable GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) treatments are a cutting-edge option to support weight loss by helping regulate appetite, improve metabolism, and enhance blood sugar control. At Avesta Aesthetics, we offer personalized GLP-1 injection programs designed to help you achieve lasting results safely and comfortably.
What Are Injectable GLP-1 Treatments?
GLP-1 is a hormone that helps regulate appetite and glucose metabolism. Injectable GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone’s effects, promoting fullness, reducing hunger, and slowing digestion to help you eat less and lose weight effectively under medical supervision.
What Conditions Can GLP-1 Injections Help With?
- Overweight and obesity management
- Difficulty with appetite control and portion regulation
- Pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes management (as prescribed)
- Support for sustainable, healthy weight loss
- Improving metabolic health
How Do They Work?
GLP-1 injections work by activating receptors in the brain that regulate appetite, helping you feel full longer and reducing cravings. They also slow stomach emptying, which stabilizes blood sugar levels and reduces hunger signals. These treatments are administered as once-daily or once-weekly injections depending on the medication prescribed.
