RX: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
​
Recently approved by the FDA, Semaglutide, also known as Ozempic or Wegovy, is a weekly weight loss injection obtained by prescription. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist and has several different ways it works for weight loss. Semaglutide is similar to Tirzepatide, also known as Mounjaro or Zepbound. Tirzepatide in addition to being a GLP-1 receptor agonist like Semaglutide, it also is a GIP receptor agonist and increases energy expenditure resulting in weight loss. Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide provide excellent weight loss success for those using it for weight loss.
To use these prescription drugs:
-
You must meet with one of our medical providers and go over your medical history & weight loss goals.
-
Not be pregnant or nursing. Not have personal history of pancreatitis or medullary thyroid cancer.

During trials most participants lost an average of 15% of their body weight and some lost up to 20% of their body weight on Semaglutide and 18-22% of their body weight using Tirzepatide.

Another popular weight loss choice are MIC Plus injections. MIC Plus injections are a compounded formula of vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients that shrink fat, help your body naturally create and boost your energy. MIC stands for Methionine, Inositol, and Choline. The M stands for Methionine which helps break down fat and detox the liver. The I stands for Inositol, a vitamin-like substance that helps convert fats into other forms of energy and helps reduce insulin resistance. The C stands for Choline, an essential nutrient for humans that helps control cholesterol levels and weight gain. MIC Plus injections contain Vitamin B12 as well.

MIC Plus Injections-
​
The Treatment
Here at Health & Vitality, a medical professional will instruct you on where and how to inject MIC Plus. Subsequent injections are usually sent home with the patients and are to be injected 1-2 times a week for a couple of months or more. Your provider will determine a treatment plan that is best suited to your needs.
​
The Results
The MIC Plus injections enhance the body’s fat-burning capacity. Results are not immediate, but may be felt in a short period of time. Increased energy and weight loss are the most common results. Every person responds to the treatment a little differently so individual results will vary. We recommend that you continue exercising and follow a healthy diet in addition to getting MIC Plus injections. MIC Plus injections, often nicknamed "skinny shots", are also often used simultaneously with other weight loss programs. When used jointly with a weight loss program (like a diet), patients can lose 1-2 pounds extra a week. It's a safe way to give your diet an extra boost by providing your body with needed vitamin B12 and amino acids that help target and get rid of fat faster. MIC Plus is a great addition to your weight loss goals when using semaglutide or tirzepatide as well.

What is Lumecca?Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) wich is used to target pigmented brown and red spots and treat vascular skin lesions. The Lumecca program improves the appearance of age spots, sun damage, vascular lesions, rosacea, and freckles. An improved skin appearance can be seen after the first session and multiple sessions deliver even better results. A strong sapphire-cooling tip provides a safe and painless procedure for clients.
-
What areas can be treated with Lumecca?The most common areas are those that are regularly exposed to the sun. These often include the face, neck, Décolletage, legs, hands, and arms.
-
How to prepare & what to expect during & after a Lumecca treatment?Avoiding direct, excessive sun exposure or excessive tanning one month prior to treatment is recommended. During treatment there will be a bright flash of light from the Lumecca that feels like a light elastic sensation. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subsides within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours you may see a darkening of pigmented spots. In the week afterwards the pigmented lesions flake off leading to an evening out of skin tone. After treating vascular lesions you may see the veins blanch and disappear or a color change in the vessel which dissipates after a few days. Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction usually resolves within a few hours. Patients may find they are sensitive to sunlight immediately after treatment. It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning for 2-3 weeks.
-
How many sessions are required & how quickly will I see results?In just 1-2 sessions Lumecca improves the appearance of problem skin on all areas of the body. Treatment regime's depend on the severity of skin damage, type of treatment (vascular vs. sun damage) and energy settings. Sun damage and skin complexion results can be seen a few days after the 1st session. The skin will continue to look younger and more brilliant over time with most visible results after 1-2 weeks. For vascular treatments such as spider or leg veins, results can be seen immediately and up to two weeks.
-
What kind of post procedure care is required?Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day to reduce their future risk of skin cancer, reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
