Weight loss injections are a breakthrough in medical weight management, offering patients with a BMI of 27 and greater a non-surgical approach to achieving significant weight loss. These FDA-approved medications mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and slow gastric emptying, helping patients feel full longer and reduce food cravings. The injections are administered weekly and target areas in the brain that control appetite and food intake.

Most patients experience a gradual, sustainable weight loss of 15-20% of their total body weight over the course of treatment. These medications are particularly effective for patients who have struggled with traditional diet and exercise, and they can also help improve associated conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure while providing a less invasive alternative to bariatric surgery.
