GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
Worcester, MA
The new Skinny Shots that everyone from celebrities to everyday people are using to lose weight belong to a class of weight loss medications called GLP-1 (“glucagon-like peptide-1”). GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in your body that regulates appetite, slows digestion, and stimulates insulin release after you eat. These powerful new Skinny Shots mimic the body’s GLP-1 hormone to lower blood sugar levels, regulate insulin production, reduce appetite, and slow the rate at which the stomach empties. The result is improved blood sugar control – and dramatic weight loss!
If you haven’t been able to lose weight with diet and exercise, it isn’t your fault. Where the fat is deposited on your body is largely due to heredity. That’s the reason why dieting and working out are simply not enough to get rid of stubborn fat in areas like the belly. But GLP-1 weight loss shots offer remarkable results for weight loss through a combination of decreased appetite and preventing insulin resistance!
Clinical studies have shown that patients can lose 15% to 25% of their body weight with GLP-1 shots over a one-year period, with the majority of the weight-loss happening earlier (within the first 6 months). And when coupled with healthy eating and exercise, patients weight loss can often be even higher.
GLP-1 weight loss medication is available by prescription only from licensed medical providers like those at Bellisimo Med Spa in Worcester, MA. It is typically taken as a once-weekly at home, using a relatively painless injection. During your appointment we will show you how to inject it and provide instructions on how to inject it yourself at home.

Personalized GLP-1 Skinny Shots
Which Weight Loss Medication is Right for Me?
There are currently three “classes” of GLP-1 weight loss medications: Semaglutides (including Ozempic & Wegovy), Tirzepatides (including Monjaro & Zepbound), and new Retatrutide. All three Skinny Shot formulas mimic the body’s GLP-1 hormone to lower blood sugar, regulate insulin, reduce appetite, and slow the rate at which the stomach empties. The result is improved blood sugar control – and significant weight loss!
But while the newer classes of GLP-1 Skinny Shots are more powerful for weight loss, they also are more likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, diarrhea, constipation or vomiting. That is why medical guidance and monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during any GLP-1 weight loss journey. The best GLP-1 formula and dosage for your body – as well as the amount and timing of gradual dose increases – should be prescribed and supervised by a medical professional.
Every person’s age, metabolism, health issues, and weight loss goals are unique. And different GLP1 formulas may have different effect on weight loss and blood sugar control in different people. The choice between these medications, and how well a patient responds to treatment, depends on their individual factors – which is why medical management is so important.
At Bellisimo Med Spa our medical weight loss experts are with you every step of the way to ensure the most effective and safest weight loss program – with the fewest side effects. During your first consultation we will evaluate your health, blood sugar control, age, weight loss goals and other unique factors to prescribe a customized GLP-1 weight loss program just for you.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications
What is Semaglutide?
(Ozempic & Wegovy)
There are many “classes” of GLP-1 weight loss medications. And new ones are continuing to be developed. The original “class” of GLP-1 weight loss medications to be FDA approved were “semaglutides” – including Ozempic & Wegovy. Semaglutide drugs, including Ozempic, were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. The FDA then approved Wegovy semaglutide as a weight loss drug for adults with obesity or excess weight, who have at least one of these weight-related conditions: high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
But the amazing and rapid weight loss benefits of Ozempic, Wegovy, and other semaglutide medications quickly took Hollywood by storm. Nearly every overweight celebrity – from Oprah, to Sharon Osborne, to Tracy Morgan – has lost large amounts of weight with Ozempic, Wegovy, or other semaglutide shots. Today semaglutide is widely prescribed to actors, A-listers, and everyday people as the fastest, most effective, and safest weight loss drug available.
Recent clinical research has shown that semaglutide can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke in many overweight people, by facilitating weight loss and improving body composition. Losing weight can also improve skin health and reduce the risk of skin conditions like acne and eczema. And, weight loss can also help improve digestion and reduce the risk of digestive problems like acid reflux and constipation. For individuals who are trying to conceive, losing weight can improve fertility in both women and men – increasing their chances of getting pregnant.

What is Trizepatide?
(Mounjaro & Zepbound)
The second class of GLP-1 weight loss medications to be developed were tirzepatide drugs. These include Mounjaro and Zepbound, and were also originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. Trizepatides are called “dual-agonist” drugs because they activate two receptors in the brain. In May of 2022 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Mounjaro (tirzepatide) to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Mounjaro was found to be effective at improving blood sugar and was determined to be even more effective than other type 2 diabetes therapies with which it was compared in clinical trials.
For most patients, tirzepatide is more effective for weight loss and glycemic control than semaglutide. Patients taking tirzepatide lose an average of 15% – 21% of their body weight, compared to 15% with semaglutide. But because tirzepatide is more potent, some patients report slightly more intense gastrointestinal side effects when starting or increasing trizepatide dosages. Today tirzepatide is widely prescribed to as one of the fastest, most effective, and safest weight loss drug available.
Being overweight can undermine your self-esteem and destroy your confidence – but it is much more than just a cosmetic issue. Excess body fat – especially belly fat around the abdominal organs – contributes to heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, cancer, fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 shots can help reduce your risk of many of these dangerous diseases. And weight loss can also help improve digestion and reduce the risk of digestive problems like acid reflux and constipation.

What is Retatrutide?
(Eli Lilly’s Newest GLP-1)
Retatrutide, is the newest type of GLP-1 weight loss drug. It is a “triple-agonist,” meaning it targets three different receptors in the brain and throughout the body. The dramatic amount of weight that study volunteers lost on this new class of GLP-1 exceeds the percentage of weight most people lose when they use Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound or Mounjaro. In manufacturer Eli Lilly’s trials, patients lost an average of 70 pounds – or about 30% of their body weight – over 80 weeks.
In fact, the amount of weight people lost with new retatrutide shots matches or exceeds the amount of weight people lose when they have bariatric weight loss surgery. And, in addition to helping patients lose weight, researchers also found that retatrutide reduced pain for people with knee arthritis by up to 73%. And people who had moderate to severe sleep apnea experienced about 60% fewer events.
However, for some patients, stronger is not always better. In their announcement about the retatrutide study, Eli Lilly said that about 11% of study volunteers who received the highest dose of the drug stopped taking it and dropped out of the study due to unpleasant side effects.
As with any GLP-1 weight loss Skinny Shot, patients do best and experience fewer side effects if they gradually increase their doses of all diabetes and weight-loss drugs. That is why medical guidance and monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential during any GLP-1 weight loss journey. The best formula and dosage for your body – as well as gradual dose increases – should be prescribed by a medical professional for the most effective and safest weight loss program – with the fewest side effects.
