Achieve sustainable weight loss with our medical weight loss program at Beach Body Medspa. We offer GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, to help curb appetite, improve metabolism, and support long-term health under expert medical supervision.
Achieve and Maintain Your Ideal Weight
Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised program that helps individuals lose weight safely and effectively through personalized treatment plans. At Beach Body Medspa, our program includes GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, which reduce appetite, improve blood sugar control, and enhance metabolism. Unlike fad diets, medical weight loss focuses on long-term success, combining expert guidance, lifestyle modifications, and advanced treatments to help patients achieve and maintain their ideal weight.
How Do GLP-1 Medications Work?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. They slow down how quickly your stomach empties, helping you feel full longer and reducing hunger. These medications also signal the brain to curb cravings and promote satiety, making it easier to eat less. Together, these effects allow you to stick to low-calorie diets over extended periods more comfortably. They support sustainable weight loss by reducing calorie intake and improving metabolism.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the body’s natural hormone responsible for controlling appetite and blood sugar levels. It slows stomach emptying, which helps you feel full longer after eating, making it easier to reduce calorie intake. Semaglutide also targets the brain’s hunger centers, decreasing cravings and promoting satiety. Additionally, it improves how your body uses insulin, stabilizing blood sugar levels for weight loss and overall health.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. By stimulating these two pathways, tirzepatide enhances feelings of fullness, reduces appetite, and slows digestion. Its dual mechanism also improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation more effectively. This comprehensive approach helps curb cravings, reduce calorie consumption, and promote sustainable weight loss.

How Are GLP-1 Medications Administered?
GLP-1 medications, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, are administered through a simple, once-weekly injection. You’ll use a small, pre-filled pen to inject the medication just under your skin—usually in your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
The process is quick, virtually painless, and easy to do at home after a brief demonstration from our medical team. Regular follow-ups ensure your treatment is effective and tailored to your needs.

Are There Any Side Effects of GLP-1 Medications?
Like any medication, GLP-1 treatments may cause side effects. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and mild stomach discomfort. These usually lessen as your body adjusts to the medication. Starting at a lower dose and gradually increasing it can help minimize side effects. Our medical team will closely monitor your progress and provide strategies to manage any symptoms that arise.
How Long Does It Take To See the Results?
Most patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of starting GLP-1 medications. However, results vary depending on factors like diet, exercise, metabolism, and adherence to the treatment plan. Significant weight loss typically occurs over several months with consistent use and lifestyle changes. Our team at Beach Body Medspa monitors your progress and adjusts your plan to maximize results safely and effectively.
How Much Weight Loss Can Be Expected?
Weight loss results vary depending on individual factors such as starting weight, metabolism, lifestyle habits, and adherence to the treatment plan. On average, patients using semaglutide can expect to lose 10-15% of their body weight over several months. Those using tirzepatide often experience even greater results, with average weight loss ranging from 15-20% of their body weight. Our team at Beach Body Medspa can help maximize and sustain these results.
