Benefits of GLP-1 Weight Loss Medications

Liver Health
75-80% improvement in fatty liver disease (NASH) and potential reversal of liver damage.
Blood Sugar Control
Originally developed for diabetes management, GLP-1 medications can help control blood sugar long term.
Long-Term Maintenance
Low maintenance doses for life can help maintain these health benefits beyond weight loss.
Enhanced Results
GLP-1s work synergistically with testosterone therapy and NAD peptide therapy for optimal results.
“We take a holistic approach to weight loss treatment. While some providers will simply prescribe medication without comprehensive evaluation, that may not address all of the underlying factors affecting our patients’ success.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Weight Loss
What happens when I stop taking weight loss medication?
The key to sustainable medical weight loss is lifestyle maintenance. If you return to your previous eating and exercise habits, you will likely regain weight. In addition, we do not recommend stopping your medication completely. Instead, we transition patients to microdosing or maintenance schedules to preserve results while maintaining health benefits.
How quickly will I lose weight with GLP-1 injections?
With semaglutide or tirzepatide injections in Columbus and Cincinnati, most patients lose 1–2 pounds per week, or around 15–30 pounds in three months. Losing weight too rapidly can lead to muscle loss or other health issues, which is why we closely monitor your progress and adjust your plan to keep results safe and sustainable.
What are the most common side effects of weight loss medication in Columbus and Cincinnati?
The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and constipation, but the medications are generally well tolerated. BB Aesthetic & Wellness provides guidance on managing these symptoms with dietary adjustments, hydration, and supplements.
Who is a good candidate for weight loss injections?
Ideal candidates have a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with conditions like high blood pressure or high cholesterol. We also consider the family history of cardiovascular disease and individual health factors during your initial consultation for GLP-1 in Columbus and Cincinnati.

While most insurance plans do not cover weight loss medications, BB Aesthetic & Wellness accepts HSA and FSA payments for all treatments.
