What is Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Wilson MD Aesthetics + Wellness
  • WHAT ARE SEMAGLUTIDE & TIRZEPATIDE

    Semaglutide is a modified molecule called a peptide that mimics a peptide our body naturally produces, called a GLP-analog.


    Tirzepatide is a combination of the same GLP-analog with the addition of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor.


    Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide simulate the gastric inhibitory polypeptides made by our bodies. Functionally, they stimulate insulin release from the pancreas which leads to a reduction of hyperglycemia. In addition,Tirzepatide also increases the levels of adiponectin. Its dual agonism ability leads to a more significant reduction of hyperglycemia than GLP-1 agonist agents alone and lowers the users appetite.


    Both work by increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon secretion. They also target areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.


    Semaglutide and Tirzepatide last weeks in our bodies, while the peptide that our bodies produce is gone in minutes. Both are subcutaneous injections administered by our trained staff. Participants in this program will be expected to come into Wilson MD Aesthetics once a week, be weighed, have any symptoms evaluated, and given an injection. 

  • HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE & TIRZEPATIDE WORK?

    Semaglutide & Tirzepatide act in the following ways:

    • Cause a delay in how quickly our stomachs digest food, leading to a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meal sizes.
    • Slow intestinal motility so you will feel fuller longer after meals.
    • Lower blood sugars, in part by reducing the production of sugar in the liver.
    • Stimulate insulin secretion by the pancreas.
  • SIDE EFFECTS/CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Side Effects/Contraindications


    The most common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, and/or constipation. The most common side effect of Tirzepatide is body aches for one day post-injection. Cleaning up the diet and trying to eat unprocessed foods is highly recommended, especially when receiving Semaglutide & Tirzepatide. Try and stay away from greasy and processed foods. A small amount of B12 is added to the Semaglutide to reduce nausea but we highly encourage a separate Super B Complex injection, that we call SuperMic, with every Semaglutide injection as this has reduced nausea more successfully. Patients also report acid reflux, stomach pain, and vomiting. The risk of serious side effects increases in patients with hypoglycemia, kidney problems, and/or a history of allergic reactions.


    **This medication is not insulin and should not be used if you have type 1 diabetes or if you develop diabetic ketoacidosis. Semaglutide & Tirzepatide should not be used withany other GLP-1 medications.


    RISK OF THYROID C-CELL TUMORS. If you or any family members have been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 or Medullary thyroid cancer you should not take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. If you have ever had pancreatitis consult with your medical provider as using Semaglutide & Tirzepatide can increase the risk of developing pancreatitis.

  • WEIGHT LOSS DRUGS REDUCE CANCER RISK BY 39%:

    We offer the popular weight loss drugs Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in our Aesthetics office for women who find it difficult or impossible to lose weight on their own. These GLP-1 agonists make weight loss possible for many women who are frustrated with the myriad of other methods they have tried. Our program involves once a week injections of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.This weekly visit involves a weigh-in and dosing decisions by our experienced and qualified staff as well as a review of any side effects of the drug.


    Semaglutide and Tirzepatide act on the brain to regulate the body's hormones, slow digestion, and tamp down hunger. These drugs represent an enormous breakthrough in the fight against the obesity epidemic we are experiencing here in the US.


    These weight loss drugs not only work to encourage the body to burn fat, but recent research indicates that they help to stave off cancers including breast, colon, liver, and ovarian- all known to be driven by obesity and excess weight.


    One study indicates that the reduction in cancer risk among people taking GLP medications is a whopping 39%.


    We do not write prescriptions for these drugs. Self-management of these drugs can result in significant and sometimes life-threatening side effects. We feel that it is important to have experienced staff, in partnership with the patient, make decisions about dosing.


    If you are interested in our program, you will need to have standard bloodwork drawn, which can be drawn in our office. Your provider will review your bloodwork and approve you for the program.


    The next step is to simply call and make an appointment - and you are on your way to a healthier body!

  • WHO CANNOT USE SEMAGLUTIDE & TIRZEPAT:

    Patients with a history of pancreatitis, uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid tumors, thyroid cancer, or family history of thyroid cancers/tumors should not take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. 


    A thorough lab work up is required prior to starting weight loss injections.

Understanding GLP Medications and Their Role in Weight Loss


GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed the landscape of weight management. These medications mimic naturally occurring hormones in the body that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. By slowing digestion, reducing hunger, and improving insulin sensitivity, GLP-1 treatments make it easier for patients to adopt healthier eating patterns and sustain them long-term.


For patients seeking GLP in Scottsdale, AZ, Wilson MD Aesthetics + Wellness offers trusted medical guidance and personalized treatment planning. Our team ensures that each patient understands how these therapies work, what results to expect, and how to integrate them into their overall wellness journey. We take the time to answer questions, address concerns, and create a supportive environment where patients feel confident in their path forward.


Benefits of GLP in Scottsdale, AZ and Beyond

  • Consistent weight loss: Many patients experience gradual, steady weight reduction over several months.
  • Reduced cravings: By influencing appetite-regulating hormones, GLP treatments help patients avoid overeating.
  • Improved blood sugar balance: These medications can help reduce insulin resistance and lower blood sugar levels.

Personalized Plans for Every Patient


At Wilson MD Aesthetics + Wellness, we know that weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. That’s why our providers create individualized plans that address more than just the number on the scale. Your lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals all play a role in shaping your treatment plan. Some patients may respond best to GLP-1 therapies alone, while others may see optimal results when combining medication with nutrition coaching, fitness guidance, or additional wellness services.


The Importance of Medical Supervision


While weight loss medications can be highly effective, they work best when paired with professional monitoring and support. Attempting weight loss without guidance can lead to frustration or even health risks. That’s why choosing a medical team experienced in GLP in Scottsdale, AZ is so important. At Wilson MD Aesthetics + Wellness, we carefully track your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and provide ongoing encouragement to help you succeed safely.


What to Expect During Treatment


Starting your weight loss journey with GLP therapy begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we’ll review your medical history, evaluate your weight loss goals, and discuss whether GLP-1 medications are the right fit for you.


If you’re a candidate, treatment typically involves small, routine injections administered under medical supervision. Most patients find the process simple and relatively comfortable. Over time, you’ll likely notice reduced hunger, smaller portion sizes, and a gradual, steady decline in weight. Our team will be with you every step of the way, ensuring that your experience is positive and your progress is sustainable.


Lifestyle Support for Lasting Success


While medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are powerful tools, they are even more effective when paired with healthy lifestyle choices.
