Semaglutide is a leading option for weight management, mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to regulate hunger and promote weight loss. Administered subcutaneously by our trained professionals, it’s a key component of the Genesis Lifestyle Medicine program, helping patients achieve lasting weight control. Similarly, Tirzepatide is a non-invasive, once-weekly injectable that aids in weight loss and blood sugar control, originally used for type 2 diabetes. This treatment, which has been shown to reduce hemoglobin A1C levels and support weight reduction, works best alongside dietary, exercise, and lifestyle improvements, guided by our expert team.

How it Works
your experience
Step 1
Your Consultation
Whatever brings you into Alazzo Med Spa, your visit is going to start with a thorough consultation. We discuss your medical history and your goals to determine whether weight loss with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is right for you.
Step 2
The Treatment
If we determine that either Semaglutide or Tirzepatide is suitable to help you achieve your goals, we can move forward with scheduling your treatments. For Tirzepatide, the initial recommended dose is typically 2.5 mg, and after the first four weeks, it may be increased in 2.5 mg increments, as tolerated, up to a maximum of 15 mg. Semaglutide, on the other hand, starts with a low dose of 0.25 mg per week to minimize side effects and allow the body to adjust, with increases to 0.5 mg after four weeks and potentially higher doses depending on your response. Both treatments are administered as once-weekly injections, and our healthcare professionals will set and monitor the doses, adjusting them as needed to help you achieve your goals for blood sugar control, weight reduction, and metabolic health.
Step 3
Aftercare and Follow-up
Your provider will ensure you have a thorough understanding of every aspect of the aftercare for your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide treatment. To maintain the best results, a healthy diet and regular exercise are crucial. Many patients schedule regular follow-up sessions every few months, with initial treatments administered once a week. Your healthcare provider will guide you through dosage adjustments as needed to ensure you achieve your health and weight loss goals effectively.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide FAQs
Tirzepatide and Semaglutide both work by mimicking key hormones that regulate blood sugar and appetite. Tirzepatide is unique in that it targets two incretin hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—providing a dual action that may offer a slight advantage in blood sugar control and weight loss. Semaglutide, administered once weekly, raises GLP-1 levels to suppress appetite, slow stomach emptying, and increase feelings of fullness. Both treatments work best when combined with a consistent exercise routine, nutritional support, and healthy eating practices. After an initial consultation, ongoing medication support is provided to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
In one of the most effective studies on Semaglutide, participants with an average starting weight of 231 pounds and a BMI of 38 lost an average of 14.9% of their initial weight, about 33 pounds, over a 68-week period. Similarly, clinical trials of Tirzepatide have shown an average weight loss of up to 21% of initial body weight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. While these treatments provide significant, scientifically proven results, individual experiences may vary, with each patient reaching different stages of weight loss at different times.
