What Are Weight Loss Injections?

A powerful weight loss treatment, Weight Loss Injections, such as GLP-1 medications, function much like the GLP-1 hormones naturally occurring in your body to regulate digestion and appetite. The hormones in this class of drugs signal the brain to suppress your appetite, so you eat less and feel full longer.

Dosage

You or your doctor can administer our weight loss injections via a pre-filled dosing pin or a syringe. Typical injections are made in the abdomen with tiny insulin-type needles. However, injection sites may also include the upper thigh or upper arm. Dr. Burgdorf will determine the correct dosage based on your body type and medical history.

Safety Precautions

Weight Loss Injections offer a safe weight loss method as long as it is supervised by a qualified professional. The most commonly reported adverse effects happen due to increased dosage intake, so it is recommended that the dosage be increased gradually. In the rare event that you should experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, let Dr. Burgdorf know right away.
