Medical Weight Loss
Medically managed weight loss, at ReLux Medical Spa in Akron, Ohio, we offer the latest treatments utilizing compounded peptides such as semaglutide for weight management. The mechanism of action of compounded semaglutide is similar to that of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body, which regulates food intake. This medication can be used to treat obesity and overweight individuals who have high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Results from this treatment are typically noticeable within a few weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism and adherence to the treatment plan. The effects of compounded semaglutide can be long-lasting when combined with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.
Compounded Semaglutide is a peptide used for obesity and related conditions mimics the action of the hormone GLP-1, aiding weight loss and improving metabolic health.
Tirzepatide
Compounded Tirzepatide is a peptide used for managing obesity and type 2 diabetes. It targets multiple glucose and energy metabolism pathways, leading to reduced food intake and improved glycemic control. Through its unique mechanism of action, it helps individuals achieve weight loss, lower blood pressure, and enhance insulin sensitivity.
