Medical Weight Loss
You’ve probably learned this the hard way already, but weight loss can be a complex effort. Millions of us rededicate ourselves to weight loss each year with maybe (at best) a few pounds to show for it. But at Redefine Med Spa we can help you work smarter and shoulder some of the difficulty to bring you across the finish line.
Personalized Medical Weight Loss
At Redefine Med Spa we offer several approaches to medically-assisted weight loss—each suited to your unique needs and specific challenges. By combining one or more of the following treatment options with your disciplined dietary and exercise routine, you can make a lasting difference.
What Are Medical Weight Loss Injections?
Originally developed to help manage Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications were later discovered to support significant and sustained weight loss. This breakthrough led to extensive research and eventual FDA approval for use in obesity and weight management. The two most commonly prescribed options in this category contain semaglutide and tirzepatide, both of which are proven to enhance metabolism and help regulate appetite.
These medications are typically administered as small, easy subcutaneous injections placed just beneath the skin. Once absorbed, they work with natural receptors in the pancreas, digestive system, and brain to improve blood sugar control, slow stomach emptying, and create a lasting feeling of fullness. By reducing cravings and promoting balanced hunger signals, they can help patients overcome stress-eating and improve long-term success with lifestyle changes. Extensive studies show that GLP-1 therapies provide health benefits beyond weight loss, including improved metabolic function and reduced cardiovascular risk in individuals who are overweight or obese.
At Redefine Med Spa, our medical weight loss program combines science-backed medication support with personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching to help you reach and sustain your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does medical weight loss with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by mimicking the body’s natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone helps regulate appetite, slows digestion, and enhances the feeling of fullness after meals. These medications also act on key areas of the brain to help reduce cravings—particularly for comfort or high-calorie foods that can contribute to weight gain.
At Redefine Med Spa, we recognize that weight management is complex, often influenced by stress, hormones, fatigue, and emotional factors. Our program combines medical support with guidance on nutrition, movement, and mindset to help you achieve long-term, sustainable results.
Which is more effective for weight loss—Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Clinical studies show that both medications are highly effective for weight loss, with Tirzepatide demonstrating slightly greater average weight reduction over comparable time periods. However, the best option depends on your body, lifestyle, and goals. During your consultation, our medical team will help determine which therapy aligns best with your unique needs.
Where are the injections given?
Injections are placed into areas of the body with a soft, fatty layer—most commonly the abdomen, upper thigh, or back of the arm. The process is quick, comfortable, and easy to self-administer after proper instruction from your provider.
Will I regain weight after stopping the medication?
Many individuals experience some weight regain once they stop GLP-1 therapy. That’s why at Redefine, our focus goes beyond the medication itself—we help you build a strong foundation of healthy habits, mindful nutrition, and stress management to maintain your results long-term.
Current research suggests that GLP-1 therapy is safe for ongoing use under medical supervision, and some patients choose to continue treatment for long-term metabolic health.
Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide safe for long-term use?
Current studies indicate that both medications are safe and effective for long-term use when monitored by a licensed medical professional. Regular check-ins with our team help ensure safety, assess progress, and personalize your plan as your body changes.
Do I need to follow a specific diet or exercise plan?
There’s no strict diet required, but balanced nutrition and consistent movement play an important role in maintaining your results. Our Redefine team provides science-based guidance to help you fuel your body, support metabolism, and feel your best throughout your journey.
