Medical Weight Management FAQs

1. What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a powerful tool in the journey towards weight loss. This once-weekly injection is designed for adults who are obese or overweight and have struggled to shed pounds through diet and exercise alone. At Balanced Essence Medical Wellness, we offer Semaglutide to help you achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and effective manner.

2. How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and makes you feel fuller after eating by increasing levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released when you eat that signals to your brain that you’re full. By enhancing this natural process, Semaglutide helps you eat less and lose weight more effectively.

3. What Results Can You Expect?

Studies show that Semaglutide can lead to significant weight loss. Many people see results within three months, although individual progress depends on factors like diet, exercise, and personal goals. Our team at Balanced Essence is here to support you, making it easier to stick to your weight loss plan and avoid binge eating.

4. What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is another tool in our weight loss arsenal, primarily used to control blood sugar levels in diabetic patients but also effective for weight loss. This GLP-1 receptor agonist, administered via injection, helps reduce hunger and support your diet efforts.

5. How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide increases hormones that signal fullness and satiety to the brain, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing hunger pangs. It also slows down digestion, so you don’t feel the need to snack frequently. By suppressing appetite and slowing digestion, Tirzepatide can help you stick to your weight loss plan more easily.

6. What Results Can You Expect?

With consistent use, Tirzepatide can help you lose between 5% and 22.5% of your total body weight within a few months, depending on your diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Our weight loss experts at Balanced Essence will create a personalized plan to maximize your results.
