Semaglutide Injections
Benefits
Weight Loss: Semaglutide is a medication approved by the FDA for weight management. It works by mimicking the activity of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. Semaglutide injections have been shown to significantly reduce body weight in clinical trials.
Appetite Control: Semaglutide helps control appetite by delaying gastric emptying, leading to a feeling of fullness and satiety. This can result in reduced food cravings and decreased calorie intake.
Improved Metabolic Health: In addition to promoting weight loss, semaglutide injections can improve metabolic parameters such as blood sugar levels, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profile. This makes it a valuable treatment option for individuals with obesity and related comorbidities like type 2 diabetes.
Convenience: Semaglutide injections are administered once weekly, offering a convenient dosing schedule for patients.
Side Effects
Gastrointestinal Symptoms: The most common side effects of semaglutide injections include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms usually occur at the beginning of treatment and may improve over time.
Hypoglycemia: Semaglutide can lower blood sugar levels, particularly in individuals with diabetes or those taking other medications that affect blood sugar. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may occur and requires monitoring, especially in combination with insulin or sulfonylureas.
Pancreatitis: There have been rare reports of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) with the use of semaglutide. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention if they experience persistent severe abdominal pain.

How Semaglutide Injections Work
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means it mimics the activity of the natural hormone GLP-1 in the body. GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and food intake by signaling to the brain to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
When administered as an injection, Semaglutide acts on GLP-1 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. It slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps control appetite and reduce food cravings. Additionally, Semaglutide may stimulate insulin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity, leading to better blood sugar control.
By targeting multiple pathways involved in weight regulation, our Semaglutide injections can promote significant weight loss in individuals with obesity or overweight, particularly when combined with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.
Lipo Injections
Benefits
Fat Metabolism: Lipo injections typically contain a combination of lipotropic agents, vitamins, and amino acids that aid in the breakdown and metabolism of fat. These injections can target stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.
Energy Boost: Some formulations of lipo injections contain B vitamins and other nutrients that can enhance energy levels and metabolism, helping patients feel more energized and motivated for physical activity.
Muscle Preservation: Lipo injections may help preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss, which is important for maintaining metabolic rate and overall body composition.
Improved Appearance: By targeting localized fat deposits, lipo injections can lead to improved body contouring and a more sculpted appearance, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
Side Effects
Injection Site Reactions: Common side effects of lipo injections include pain, swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary.
Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, individuals may experience allergic reactions to components of lipo injection formulations, leading to itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. Patients with a history of allergies should exercise caution and consult with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Infection: As with any injection, there is a risk of infection at the injection site if proper sterile techniques are not followed. Patients should ensure that injections are administered by trained healthcare professionals in a clean environment.
Interactions: Some ingredients in lipo injections, such as vitamin B12, may interact with certain medications or medical conditions. Patients should disclose all medications and medical history to their healthcare provider before receiving lipo injections.
Lipo Injections at Total Vitality
Total Vitality offers lipo injections as part of our comprehensive weight management approach. Our healthcare professionals will customize a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals and needs.
How Lipo Injections Work
Lipo injections typically contain a combination of lipotropic agents, vitamins, and amino acids that work synergistically to promote fat metabolism and weight loss. These injections are usually administered directly into areas of stubborn fat deposits, such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
The lipotropic agents in lipo injections, such as methionine, inositol, and choline, help break down fat cells by enhancing the liver’s ability to metabolize fats. This process, known as lipolysis, results in the release of stored fat into the bloodstream, where it can be utilized for energy or eliminated from the body.
In addition to lipotropic agents, lipo injections often contain B vitamins such as vitamin B12, which play essential roles in energy metabolism and can help boost energy levels and enhance overall well-being.
Overall, our lipo injections target localized fat deposits, promote fat breakdown and metabolism and may help improve body contouring and aesthetic appearance when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
