What it is
Our Metabolic Weight Management Program offers medical support for clients seeking help with weight loss that goes beyond diet attempts alone. Using GLP-1 medications such as tirzepatide, we create a safe, structured path toward weight reduction. While the medication helps regulate appetite and reduce cravings, lasting success also comes from pairing treatment with thoughtful nutritional choices and movement that fit your lifestyle.
How it works
GLP-1 medications mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. By slowing digestion and improving how the body uses insulin, they reduce cravings and help you feel satisfied with less food. Tirzepatide also acts on GIP receptors, offering an added metabolic benefit. At SkinAve, our role is to evaluate whether you’re a candidate, prescribe the right medication, and monitor your progress with ongoing adjustments to keep you safe and on track
Safety, Side Effects & Monitoring
GLP-1 and GIP medications such as tirzepatide and semaglutide are highly effective, but they can cause digestive changes — most often mild nausea, fullness, or constipation in the early weeks. At SkinAve, we design your dosing plan with both results and comfort in mind, increasing gradually so your body has time to adapt. For many clients, side effects improve quickly — and some experience little to no side effects at all. We monitor closely at each step and adjust as needed to keep the program safe, comfortable, and effective for you.
What to expect
-
Your first visit is a detailed consultation to review your health history, medications, and weight-related concerns. We’ll confirm that a GLP-1/GIP medication such as tirzepatide is a safe and appropriate option for you.
-
If treatment is a good fit, we can often begin at your first visit. Most programs involve weekly injections of tirzepatide, either self-administered at home or given in-clinic if you prefer. SkinAve provides clear instructions, dosing guidance, and ongoing support whichever option you choose.
-
Most clients notice appetite changes within the first few weeks, followed by gradual weight loss over months. Regular check-ins allow us to track progress, adjust dosing, and help you stay comfortable as your body adapts. The medication is a strong tool, but results are maximized when paired with consistent effort in daily habits — from balanced eating to regular physical activity.
Frequently asked questions
-
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Mounjaro® contains tirzepatide. These medications belong to the same family but may be recommended differently based on your health profile and goals.
-
Results vary. Some clients notice appetite changes within the first month, while others progress more gradually. The focus is steady, sustainable weight reduction — not rapid drops. Your progress also depends on how consistently you pair treatment with balanced nutrition and activity, since the medication works best as a tool, not the whole plan.
-
Not necessarily. Many clients continue for 6–12 months or longer, depending on goals. The aim is to use the medication to reset appetite signals and support healthier habits that you can sustain long term. Our check-ins help decide when it’s time to continue, pause, or taper.
-
Regain is possible if old habits return, since the medication is no longer there to support appetite control. Clients who do best after stopping are those who’ve built consistent patterns with nutrition, movement, and daily choices while on the program. That’s why our role is to support you in making changes that last beyond the medication itself.
-
The most common are mild nausea, fullness, or digestive changes, especially in the first few weeks. These often improve as your body adjusts — and some people experience little to no side effects at all.
