At Transform Bariatrics and Aesthetics, GLP-1 injections provide an innovative, medically guided approach to weight management. These FDA-approved medications work with your body’s natural hormones to help regulate appetite, improve satiety, and support sustainable weight loss. GLP-1 therapy is ideal for patients struggling with excess weight despite diet and exercise, or for those with metabolic concerns such as prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
What Are GLP-1 Injections?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) injections mimic a hormone naturally produced in the gut that helps control appetite and blood sugar levels. Administered via a simple subcutaneous injection, GLP-1 medications help reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and promote gradual, sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.
How GLP-1 Injections Work
- GLP-1 activates receptors in the brain to reduce appetite and increase satiety.
- It slows stomach emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer.
- Supports improved insulin response and blood sugar regulation.
- Works alongside diet and exercise for optimal weight management results.
