At Arizona Medical Medspa in Scottsdale, we offer Semaglutide and Tirzepatide weight loss injections, two of the most effective, medically supervised treatments available today. These advanced medications are designed to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss, improve metabolic health, and regain confidence — all under the care of a licensed, board-certified provider.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved injectable medications originally developed for type 2 diabetes management. They have since gained recognition for their ability to promote significant, long-term weight loss when combined with healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes.

• Semaglutide (GLP-1 agonist): Mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) that regulates appetite, slows digestion, and signals fullness to the brain.
   
• Tirzepatide (dual GLP-1/GIP agonist): Works on two hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP) for even greater appetite suppression, blood sugar regulation, and enhanced weight loss results.
   

Both medications target the gut-brain connection to influence appetite, digestion, and metabolism:

1. Appetite Regulation – Signals to the brain that you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer.
    
2. Slowed Digestion – Slows stomach emptying, reducing cravings and preventing overeating.
    
3. Improved Insulin Sensitivity – Helps the body regulate blood sugar more effectively, reducing spikes and crashes.
    
4. Sustainable Weight Loss – By curbing appetite and stabilizing metabolism, patients are able to lose weight steadily over time.
    

Clinical trials show that patients using Semaglutide or Tirzepatide under medical supervision can lose a significant percentage of body weight — often more than with diet and exercise alone.

Patients at Arizona Medical Medspa choose these treatments because they:

• Promote steady, sustainable weight loss
   
• Reduce appetite and cravings
   
• Improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
   
• Lower the risk of weight-related conditions (like diabetes and heart disease)
   
• Support long-term weight management when combined with lifestyle changes
   

How often are injections given?
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are typically administered once a week under medical supervision.

Are results permanent?
Results are long-lasting when combined with a healthy lifestyle. However, weight can return if treatments are discontinued and lifestyle changes are not maintained.

What are the side effects?
The most common side effects include mild nausea, digestive changes, or fatigue, which often improve as the body adjusts.

Which is better: Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Both are highly effective. Semaglutide works powerfully on appetite regulation, while Tirzepatide works on two hormone pathways and may result in greater weight loss for some patients. Your provider will help determine the best option for your needs.

Am I a candidate?
Patients with a BMI over 27 with weight-related health concerns, or a BMI over 30, may be excellent candidates. A consultation is required to determine eligibility.
