Weight Loss Injections

The medical weight loss landscape has been transformed by GLP-1 receptor agonist medications — specifically semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound). These medications work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. They slow gastric emptying so you feel full longer, reduce hunger signals to the brain, improve insulin sensitivity, and help reduce cravings — particularly for high-calorie and high-sugar foods.

At Lodi MedSpa, our medically supervised weight loss program goes beyond just prescribing medication. We begin with a comprehensive health assessment including your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals. If you are a good candidate, we start at a low dose and gradually increase (titrate) over several weeks to minimize side effects, particularly nausea. You will have monthly check-ins with your provider to monitor progress, adjust dosing, and ensure you are losing weight safely and sustainably.

Clinical trials have demonstrated remarkable results: average weight loss of 15-17% of body weight with semaglutide and up to 20-22% with tirzepatide over 12-18 months. Beyond the scale, patients frequently report improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, joint pain, energy levels, sleep quality, and overall confidence. Our program also includes nutritional guidance and lifestyle coaching to help you develop sustainable habits that maintain your results long-term.
