Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide Shots in Cranston, RI

How GLP-1 Works

GLP-1 medications mimic a naturally occurring hormone in the body that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. These medications slow gastric emptying, increase feelings of fullness, and reduce hunger signals. As a result, patients often eat less without feeling deprived.

When used as part of a structured program, GLP-1 weight loss therapy helps create healthier eating patterns and more consistent calorie control. Medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide are commonly used due to their effectiveness and predictable outcomes when monitored by a provider.

Benefits vs. Risks

Benefits

  • Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
  • Improved portion control
  • Steady and sustainable weight reduction
  • Support for metabolic health
  • Can enhance results from Body Contouring treatments

Many clients also notice improved energy levels and better control over emotional or stress-related eating.

Potential Risks

  • Nausea or digestive discomfort, especially early in treatment
  • Temporary fatigue
  • Changes in bowel habits

These side effects are usually mild and improve as the body adjusts. Our providers monitor your progress closely and adjust dosing as needed to ensure safety and comfort.

Eligibility for GLP-1 Weight Loss

This program is designed for adults who have struggled to lose weight through traditional methods. Candidates often include individuals with excess weight, insulin resistance, or metabolic challenges.

A medical consultation is required before starting GLP-1 weight loss therapy. During this visit, we review health history, medications, and goals to determine whether semaglutide or another option is appropriate. This service may also be recommended alongside Hormone Replacement when hormonal imbalance contributes to weight gain.

Timeline of Results

Results develop gradually and consistently. Many patients notice changes in appetite within the first few weeks. Weight loss typically becomes more noticeable after the first month, with continued progress over several months.

Because this is a medical approach, outcomes depend on adherence, dosing, and lifestyle support. When paired with nutrition guidance and wellness care, GLP-1 weight loss programs often lead to sustainable, long-term results rather than rebound weight gain.

Before and After Expectations

Before-and-after results vary by individual, but most clients experience steady weight loss rather than a dramatic overnight change. Improvements often include reduced waist circumference, better energy, and improved confidence.

If before-and-after images are available and appropriate, your provider will review expectations during your consultation.
