Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

📌 How soon will I see results?
Most patients start noticing reduced appetite within the first few weeks. Significant weight loss can occur within 3-6 months, depending on adherence to the treatment plan.

📌 Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include nausea, mild digestive discomfort, and fatigue, which usually subside as your body adjusts. Our medical team will closely monitor your progress to help minimize any discomfort and make dosage adjustments if necessary.

📌 Do I have to follow a specific diet?
While no strict diet is required, healthy eating habits enhance results. We provide nutritional counseling to help you optimize your plan and ensure long-term success.

📌 Is GLP-1 therapy safe for me?
These medications are FDA-approved and safe for most individuals, but they may not be recommended for those with a history of certain endocrine or gastrointestinal conditions. A medical evaluation will determine your eligibility.

Concerns About Self-Injection? We’ve Got You Covered!

We understand that the thought of self-injecting a medication can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before. Rest assured—GLP-1 injections are designed to be simple, painless, and easy to administer. Here’s what you need to know:

📌 Does the injection hurt?
Not at all! The injections use a tiny, thin needle similar to those used for insulin. Most patients describe it as a small pinch or barely feeling it at all.

📌 How do I inject the medication?
Your medication comes in a prefilled, easy-to-use pen. Our medical team will provide a step-by-step demonstration and personalized guidance to ensure you feel completely comfortable before administering it on your own.

📌 Where do I inject it?
GLP-1 medications are subcutaneous injections, meaning they are injected just under the skin in areas like:
✔ The abdomen (stomach)
✔ The thigh
✔ The upper arm

You can rotate injection sites each time to avoid irritation.

📌 How often do I need to inject?
Both Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) are administered just once a week—making them a simple and convenient option for weight loss.

📌 What if I’m afraid of needles?
You’re not alone! Many people are nervous at first, but with proper guidance and practice, most find it much easier than expected. Our team will help you build confidence, provide support, and even offer alternative techniques to make the process as stress-free as possible.

📌 Can I have someone else administer it for me?
Absolutely! If you prefer, a family member, friend, or caregiver can be trained to help with your weekly injection. You can also return to our clinic for assistance if needed.
