Tirzepatide is a medication that acts as both a GIP (Glucose-Dependent Polypeptide) and GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) receptor agonist. When administered via injection, it is works to control appetite and modify food intake. In combination with a balanced diet, Tirzepatide once weekly injections aid in body fat reduction. This occurs by the induction of gastroparesis which slows the rate your stomach empties and also increases insulin production, which drives sugar from the blood into the cells, thereby reducing blood sugar. Tirzepatide was originally used as a Type 2 diabetic medication, however its pronounced weight loss features broadened its larger appeal. This is an excellent option for those who prefer a weight loss medication which curbs appetite, without the need for oral daily pills. Here at Sakura Aesthetics, we always do a personalized consultationwith every patient going over comprehensive medical history, personal goals and lifestyle habits to determine if Tirzepatide is safe and effective option for you.
