What is GLP-1 Weight Loss?

GLP-1 weight loss utilizes a GLP-1 medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body responsible for regulating appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. GLP-1 helps signal to your brain when you’re full and slows gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your stomach longer—helping you feel fuller for longer periods.

At Apex Skin Aesthetics, this medically supervised program includes advanced injectable treatments, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, tailored to your individual needs. Your provider will determine which option is best based on your goals and medical history.

These medications help curb hunger, leading to reduced calorie intake and supporting sustainable, long-term results. Your treatment plan is medically guided and personalized to ensure safe, effective progress. This approach makes semaglutide weight loss and similar treatments more effective and easier to maintain over time.

Enhancing Your Results

At Apex Skin Aesthetics, many patients who begin their journey with our medical weight loss program are motivated to take their transformation even further.

In addition to your program benefits, we offer customized aesthetic treatments designed to complement your results and support overall body confidence.

Muscle Building with EmSculpt NEO®

This innovative treatment goes beyond fat reduction by simultaneously building muscle and sculpting the body, delivering visible results that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve.

Facial Rejuvenation with Emface®

By combining radiofrequency and HIFES technology, Emface® lifts and tightens facial skin while also toning the muscles underneath, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance.

Facial Volume Balancing with Fillers

Customized dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles, providing immediate results in facial contouring and skin revitalization for a balanced and rejuvenated look.

What to Expect

1

Initial Consultation

You’ll meet with one of our experienced providers for a thorough evaluation of your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. We’ll also discuss how treatment works, potential side effects, and how it fits into your overall plan.
2

Bloodwork

Bloodwork is included in your program at no additional cost and is conducted by a licensed medical professional during your consultation. This is a fasting test, so you’ll need to refrain from eating or drinking beforehand. Results are processed at a certified lab and reviewed by your Apex Skin provider—no additional visits required.
3

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your consultation and lab results, a customized treatment plan will be created for you. This may include guidance on nutrition, activity, and lifestyle habits to support your results.
4

Weekly Injections

Your treatment is administered once weekly through a simple injection, typical of most weight loss injections. This can be done in-office, or you may be given instructions for safe at-home administration, depending on your preferences.
5

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular monthly follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress, manage any side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as needed to keep you on track.
Or call us to discuss further.

Important Note

The injection itself is minimally painful, and most patients experience only mild gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea or constipation, which typically subside as the body adapts. Read our Side Effects guide for more information!

Recovery & Results

Most patients can return to normal activities immediately following their appointment, as there is no downtime required.

You may experience mild side effects such as nausea or bloating, but these symptoms typically improve as your body adjusts to treatment.

You can expect gradual, sustained weight loss over several weeks or months, with more noticeable results developing around 3–6 months into treatment. Long-term success is supported by combining treatment with healthy lifestyle habits, which our providers will help guide you through.
