What Is Liraglutide?
Liraglutide is a medication classified as a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. In some studies, it has been used to help support blood sugar control and aid in weight loss for certain populations. However, at The Gallery Of Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a compounded version of Liraglutide. Because it is compounded, it is not FDA-approved, and results can vary from the FDA-approved medication. Still, many patients find that compounded Liraglutide can provide supportive benefits on their weight loss journey when used as part of a medically supervised program. [2]
Important Note: Compounded medications like Liraglutide are not FDA-approved.
How Does Liraglutide Assist with Fat Loss?
Liraglutide works by replicating the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1, which influences hunger and food intake in several ways:
- Appetite and Calorie Control: By acting on the areas of the brain that regulate hunger, Liraglutide may help you feel satiated sooner and more consistently.[3]
- Slowed Gastric Emptying: Liraglutide can delay the rate at which the stomach empties, helping you feel full longer after meals.[4]
- Balanced Insulin Levels: Because of its impact on insulin and blood sugar regulation, Liraglutide may benefit those with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, offering both weight management and potential metabolic advantages.[5]
It’s essential to remember that, while Liraglutide may help reduce cravings and support a balanced appetite, it should not be considered a standalone solution for weight loss. Our team recommends a multifaceted approach that combines liraglutide with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and ongoing medical supervision.
What Results Can You Expect with Liraglutide?
Studies of Liraglutide show an average weight loss of about 8% of total body weight over 56 weeks of consistent use when combined with lifestyle modifications. It’s essential to remember that Liraglutide is most effective when combined with ongoing healthy habits, such as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and periodic medical supervision. [6]
Note: Results with compounded Liraglutide may not be the same, as specific data for compounded forms have not been extensively evaluated in clinical trials.
Why Choose Liraglutide for Your Weight Loss Goals?
Liraglutide offers several advantages for those struggling with weight loss:
- Reduces Persistent Cravings: By influencing the body’s hunger signals, Liraglutide can help you resist unhealthy snacking.[7]
- Enhances Blood Sugar Control: If you struggle with maintaining stable blood sugar levels, Liraglutide may provide additional metabolic support.
- Enhances Diet & Exercise Results: Pairing your nutrition and workout routine with Liraglutide may help you see more meaningful progress. [8]
Is There Any Downtime?
One of the advantages of Liraglutide is that there is generally no formal downtime required. You can typically continue your usual daily routine without significant interruptions. However, as with any medication, there is a possibility of side effects, including Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These symptoms usually improve over time. Always discuss persistent or severe symptoms with your healthcare provider.
Is Liraglutide Right for You?
Liraglutide may be suitable for adults who struggle to achieve significant weight loss despite making consistent lifestyle changes. Ideal candidates often include individuals experiencing weight-related health concerns, such as elevated blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Additionally, patients looking to enhance their overall wellness before or after cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures may also benefit from incorporating Liraglutide into their treatment plan. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess your personal health goals to determine if this option aligns with your needs.
