GLP-1's are weekly injections that activates the GIP and/or GLP-1 receptors in the body. These receptors regulate appetite, insulin, and glucagon levels as well as satiety and gastric emptying. GLP-1 injections are given over a 16-20 week time period and the dose of the medication is titrated up as you go. GLP-1 medications are a weight-loss alternative and patients should expect to be committed for at least 3 months. GLP-1 patients can expect to lose anywhere from 12-22% of body weight.
Can reduce body weight up to 22%
Delayed gastric emptying to feel full longer
Suppress hunger signals in the brain
Enhance insulin secretion and sensitivity
Decrease food intake and glucagon levels
Hormonal imbalance can occur during any stage of life and has a huge impact on weight management. The most common treatment for hormonal weight gain is done by balancing your hormones with hormone replacement therapy. Here at Aesthetica we offer our patients BioTE hormone pellet therapy. BioTE pellets are naturally derived and they resemble the hormones naturally produced in our own bodies. Call Aesthetica today to schedule your BioTE consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners.

Medical weight loss isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey, so there isn’t a best overall option for everybody. During your consultation at Aesthetica, one of our experienced Nurse Practitioners will go over your lifestyle, expectations, medical history and labs and decide with you which option(s) will work best for you.
Patients with:
BioTE pellet therapy and GLP-1 injection prices vary because our medical weight loss treatment plans are personalized to cater each patient's individual needs.
No, neither treatment is covered through insurance, so we cannot run BioTE nor GLP-1 medications through any insurance plan.
Each patient will respond differently to both BioTE and GLP-1 medications. There is no definite time set for when patients can expect to see results. Ask your Aesthetica Nurse Practitioner during the consultation about what might be a realistic expectation for you.
