Weight Loss Services We Offer
Semaglutide Injections
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved injectable medication that mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) to help regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. Slowing digestion and increasing feelings of fullness allow patients to reduce calorie intake more naturally. When paired with a nutritious diet and regular physical activity, Semaglutide supports steady, long-term weight loss while also helping regulate blood sugar and improve overall health. At Gentle Wellness Center, semaglutide injections are administered weekly under medical supervision to ensure safe, effective results.
Tirzepatide Injections
Tirzepatide is a prescription-based medication that acts on two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), making it a powerful option for managing appetite and metabolism. This dual action helps patients reduce cravings, improve insulin sensitivity, and achieve meaningful weight loss. Administered once weekly under physician guidance, tirzepatide has been shown to promote consistent results while supporting overall metabolic health. Our providers personalize dosing and monitoring to guarantee that your care is secure, efficient, and customized to meet your objectives.

Weight loss FAQs
What is Semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a medication that falls under the class of GLP-1 receptor agonists. It imitates the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate insulin production and signals satiety in the brain. This can contribute to managing appetite and promoting weight loss when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
What are the side effects of Semaglutide?
Side effects are typically minor and can involve sensations of dizziness, fatigue, constipation, bloating, nausea, or diarrhea. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication, and starting at a lower dose can help minimize discomfort.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that mimics two natural hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, to regulate appetite and blood sugar more effectively.
How is Tirzepatide different from Semaglutide?
While Semaglutide works on GLP-1 receptors, Tirzepatide acts on both GLP-1 and GIP, which can make it more potent in reducing weight for certain individuals. Both choices are great, depending on what you’re looking for.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary, but research shows that patients may lose up to 20% of their total body weight within a year when treatments are paired with healthy lifestyle changes.
Who should avoid Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?
These medications are not recommended for people who have a background of medullary thyroid cancer or are affected by multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2), pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How much does treatment cost?
The cost of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide treatments depends on factors such as dosage, treatment length, and whether medications are included in your plan. During your consultation, our team will review options and provide a clear, personalized breakdown of pricing.
