Weight Loss Injections
At Advanced Medical Spa and Laser Center, Dr. Sinha offers FDA-approved weight loss injections to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
Her internal medicine and gastroenterology board certification allows her to provide safe and effective GLP-1 weight-loss medications in Flemington and Hillsborough, NJ. This prescription treatment is designed to support those struggling with excess weight.
What Are GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications?
GLP-1 agonists are a type of medical weight loss injection that mimics naturally occurring hormones in the body. These medications help regulate blood sugar levels, promote a feeling of fullness, and reduce cravings. They are FDA-approved and prescribed for individuals who need support with weight management.
How Do GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications Work?
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by:
- Enhancing insulin production to regulate blood sugar levels
- Slowing down digestion, so you feel full longer
- Reducing hunger and food cravings
Many patients see significant weight loss results by combining GLP-1 weight loss medication with a healthy diet and increased physical activity.
Am I a Good Candidate for GLP-1 Treatment?
Medical weight loss shots may be an option for adults with a BMI of 25 or higher. This non-surgical weight loss treatment also helps manage weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. In addition to injections, procedures like Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty offer an effective alternative for individuals seeking significant, long-term weight loss without surgery.
Candidates must be committed to making healthy lifestyle changes. GLP-1 medications are not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of pancreatitis, or have certain medical conditions such as medullary thyroid cancer or MEN syndrome.
What to Expect During GLP-1 Therapy
After a consultation at Advanced Medical Spa and Laser Center, our team will determine the appropriate prescription weight loss injections for you.
The injections are self-administered once a week. Our medical team will provide special instructions on proper dosage and administration.
Expect regular check-ins to track if you’re responding well to the treatment.
Is There Any Downtime After GLP-1?
One of the benefits of medical weight loss treatments is that there is no downtime. You can continue your daily routine without interruption. Some patients experience mild nausea, which usually improves as the body adjusts to the medication.
Top Benefits of GLP-1 Injections
Many patients find GLP-1 weight loss medication helpful for sustained weight loss, better appetite control, and improved blood sugar levels.
Patients often lose 10-15% of their initial body weight. You’ll feel full longer and experience fewer cravings. The treatment is also beneficial for those with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatment Cost
The cost of medical weight loss injections varies based on insurance coverage. Some plans cover FDA-approved options, but if not, we offer affordable alternatives through compounding pharmacies. Advanced Medical Spa and Laser Center is one of the few facilities providing these weight loss treatments without insurance, offering flexible self-pay options.
