Does it Hurt? Does it work?
These are the two questions we most often get from prospective patients.
Does it Hurt?
When you see the needle you will use for your injections, it is much less intimidating than you are imagining. Please note: *this is not the actual medication*
You may or may not feel the injection, however because this is a subcutaneous injection and not an intramuscular injection, it is very gentle and does not even feel like a “pinch.”. Subcutaneous injections tend to be far less painful than intramuscular injections because the needles are smaller and do not have to push through as much tissue. This is most certainly not going to be as painful as a flu shot.
Ultimately everyone has different thresholds for pain, but 99 out of 100 people typically say “Wow that was pretty easy!” after their first injection.
Does it work?
Yes, without any hubris at all, it does work! You can read more about how and why GLP-1 drugs work here and we have been thrilled with the results that we’ve seen patients have on our weight wellness program. Notably we helped MirandainCharlotte lose over 27% of her body weight, and on the same note, we help patients every day get closer and closer to their goals with an average internal loss around 24% of body weight lost.
