Weight Loss Program

West End Salon and Medspa weight loss program uses semaglutide or Tirzepatide and Retatrutide. The program begins with an initial consultation with the nurse practitioner, and labs are drawn to ensure all organs are working properly. Medications and supplies are included.

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist. It mimics the action of the incretin GL-1 by increasing the production of insulin. Semaglutide for weight suppresses your appetite and works in the brain’s areas that regulate appetite and food intake. In addition to using Semaglutide, an exercise program and reduced caloric intake will aid in weight loss goals and long-term management.

We also use Tirzepatide in our weight loss program. Tirzepatide, known as Mounjaro, was approved by the FDA in 2022 to treat type 2 diabetes. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing appetite, and slowing digestion, offering benefits such as improved blood sugar control, reduced cardiovascular risk factors, and significant weight loss—often averaging 15–20% of total body weight in clinical trials, especially when paired with healthy lifestyle habits.

We also use Retatrutide. has shown promising results in helping people lose significant weight, with studies suggesting an average loss of 15-20% of body weight. It works by targeting hormones that control hunger and metabolism, potentially improving heart health, lowering cholesterol, and boosting energy levels. Retatrutide may also help reduce visceral fat, lower cholesterol levels, and improve overall cardiovascular health, potentially offering a multi-faceted approach to managing obesity and metabolic disorders.
