Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, Once Weekly Weight Loss Injection Now Available!

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro.Elevation Medical is now offering tirzepatide in our weight loss clinics. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro, a FDA-approved medication for the treatment of diabetes. Tirzepatide is a peptide that is used off-label as a weekly diet injection until it is expected to receive FDA approval for weight loss later in 2023 or 2024.  Phase III clinical studies demonstrate a 50% increase in bodyweight reduction in tirzepatide vs. semaglutide in a 52-week period, with similar side effects.  

  • As the first to be a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist, tirzepatide is stronger in controlling blood sugar levels and acts as a potent appetite suppressant by reducing feelings of hunger while increasing satiety even with reduced food intake.  
  • Phase III studies seeking FDA approval for weight loss demonstrate a tirzepatide 22.5% reduction in body weight compared to a 15% bodyweight reduction by that of semaglutide, with comparable side effects.
  • Patients can choose to receive tirzepatide for only 1 week tirzepatide 2.5mg as a trial for $130. Please be advised that tirzepatide is dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose may be, up to 15mg/week, the more effective tirzepatide can be. However, most patients tend to stay at or below 10mg.
    Tirzepetide Weekly Peptide Diet Shots
    Tirzepetide weekly peptide diet injection should be kept in the refrigerator. Please be advised that tirzepatide is
    dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose will be with a max dose of
    15 mg a week. Therefore, the price will increase as your dose is adjusted and increased by a licensed medical
    professional. If you miss 14 consecutive days, without an injection, you will need to restart at the starting dose (2.5 mg).

    Starting Dose:
    One week trial (7 days) 2.5 mg: $130
    First month (4 weeks) 2.5 mg: $450
    Step-Up Dosing:
    For your second month, you can increase your weekly dose to 5 mg (4 weeks): $450

We can’t thank our patients enough for their support and for their encouraging weight loss stories since we opened back in June 2016! These stories are why we do what we do and we love being with you every step of the way!

Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) Once Weekly Weight Loss Injection Now Available!

Elevation Medical is implementing a new program in our weight loss facilities. We will be offering semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy.  Wegovy is the brand name drug that is FDA-approved for once-weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) weight loss injection.  Semaglutide is also known as Wegovy or Ozempic by its brand name.

Semaglutide has been around for many years to help diabetic patients control their blood sugar levels. This injection was also found to reduce weight.  Since diabetic patients started losing weight on semaglutide, it was studied to be used as a weight-loss injectable medication. Since June 2021, semaglutide under the brand name Wegovy was FDA approved for long-term weight loss.

Semaglutide is 94% similar to natural human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which decreases blood sugar levels in a glucose-dependent manner by enhancing the secretion of insulin. GLP-1 acts as a physiological regulator of appetite and thereby reducing food intake by reducing feelings of hunger and increasing feelings of fullness/satiety.

Patients can choose to receive semaglutide for only 1 week as a trial for $90. Please be advised that semaglutide is dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose will be and up to 2.4mg/week.

Semaglutide Peptide Diet Shots Service Fees

  • 0.25 mg (7 days) $90

1 week of semaglutide 0.25 mg  FDA-approved peptide diet shot

  • 1 mg or 1.7 mg (30 days) $365

1 month of semaglutide 1 mg or 1.7 mg  FDA-approved peptide diet shot

  • 0.25 or 0.5 mg (30 days) $265

1 month of semaglutide 0.25 or 0.5 mg  FDA-approved peptide diet shot

  • 2.4 mg (30 days) $450

1 month of semaglutide 2.4 mg  FDA-approved peptide diet shot

Patients who have a history or diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN II) are not eligible to receive semaglutide.

Semaglutide can be used in conjunction with HCG, phentermine, and or sermorelin for the best results.

Maria’s Weight Loss Journey

maria weight loss.jpg

I am first a mom. I was running a rat race of working, transporting kids, organizing at home, running a household, completing my workload; life. I’d forgotten about me. I looked in the full-length mirror one day and realized I needed a change. A big change… I wanted to resume a life that included ME… positivity for myself. I wanted to change the way I looked and I knew with that, I’d be empowered to know that I deserved that change. When I discovered Elevation Weight Loss, I was at the end of my personal confidence….it was all up from there!

I am now thinner and happier. I’m energized and evoked to stay the course. The course is easy to continue as the results are evident! Every day I am positive in my continued journey. With my weight loss, energy level, and continued confidence; I simply don’t waver. I have a goal in my life and the apparent accomplishment of it continues to hearten and fuel me on a daily basis.

Thank you, Elevation! I don’t like cliches and I’ve never believed in them until now; but I am new, changed, fresh, and WORTHY. With my personal goal achieved, I know I can do anything.

Go out there and grab your brass ring, you’ll be so proud of yourself. I am proud for the first time in a long time. The number on the scale is smaller, but my confidence is exponentially larger!

This program was truly the catalyst I needed to change physically; and, in turn; change internally. I am forever grateful.

-Maria
