LOURE Aesthetics in Waunakee answers your questions about the GLP-1 Revolution.
GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss. With all of that buzz comes plenty of questions. We sat down with the team at LOURE Aesthetics to get the facts and to learn more about how GLP-1 works.
What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they work?
GLP-1 medications are powerful, once-a-week injections that reduce cravings, help you feel full fast and reduce appetite. They are designed to help you lose weight while also preventing other risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Who’s a good candidate for GLP-1 medications?
Most people benefit from these medications, especially those that want to lose 20 pounds or more. Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women see success with these medications as well as men who want to lose stubborn belly fat. We treat patients over the age of 18 who do not have diabetes and meet our medical criteria.
What results can someone expect, and how quickly?
With semaglutide, patients typically lose 1-2 pounds per week — up to 15% of their body weight. With tirzepatide, patients typically lose 2-3 pounds per week — up to 25% of their body weight. Patients lose weight in their first month of treatment with us.
What are the side effects or risks?
The most common side effects are nausea, constipation and heartburn. GLP-1 medications are also not for people who have had thyroid cancer.
What wellbeing support does LOURE Aesthetics offer beyond GLP-1 medications?
We also offer nutrition counseling, oral medications, B12 injections, hormone health counseling, an infrared sauna, LED phototherapy and IV hydration.
