We have exciting news for anyone looking to give their weight loss efforts an extra boost! At NM Aesthetics, we're now offering Tirzepatide treatments as part of our medical weight management program in Arlington, Virginia.
You may have already heard of Ozempic (semaglutide), the game-changing medication that has helped so many of our patients shed pounds and keep weight off. Tirzepatide (brand names Mounjaro and Zepbound) works in a similar way, but offers enhanced benefits by activating two key mechanisms in the body.
What is Tirzepatide? Like semaglutide, Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics hormones called incretins. However, Tirzepatide is what's known as a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist.
By activating both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, Tirzepatide provides a powerful one-two punch. It helps regulate blood sugar, and makes you feel fuller by delaying gastric emptying (it slows digestion after meals).
In clinical trials, Tirzepatide dramatically outperformed other weight loss medications when combined with diet and exercise. Participants lost up to 24% of their body weight on the highest dose!
Who is a Candidate? At NM Aesthetics, we're recommending Tirzepatide for patients who have maxed out semaglutide dosages but still have significant weight loss goals. It can help break through plateaus and reignite progress.
Tirzepatide may also be suitable for those just starting a medical weight loss program, depending on your unique needs and health profile. During a consultation, we'll determine if you're an ideal candidate.
