Spa & Wellness FAQ – Eden Med Spa, Naples FL

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that helps regulate appetite, improve blood sugar control, reduce cravings, and increase fullness. Most patients experience steady monthly weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 + GIP medication that targets appetite, metabolism, and blood sugar. It is often faster and more effective than Semaglutide for patients needing more aggressive weight loss results.

Results vary, but most patients see:

• Semaglutide: 10–20% body weight reduction

• Tirzepatide: 15–25% body weight reduction

Typical weekly progress: 1–3 lbs per week, depending on dosage and lifestyle.

Many patients begin noticing decreased cravings and appetite within the first 5–10 days. Visible weight loss typically starts within 2–4 weeks.

Side effects are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts. The most common include:

• Nausea

• Bloating

Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are once-weekly injections administered in the belly, arm, or thigh. Many patients self-inject at home after instruction.

• Have a BMI over 25

• Experience slow metabolism or insulin resistance
