This clinically proven powerful weight loss aid is the active ingredient in popular weight loss medications promoting substantial weight reduction.
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are a class of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to lower blood sugar levels. They work by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone naturally produced in the body that helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon secretion (which helps lower blood sugar), slowing gastric emptying, and promoting feelings of fullness after eating.
Common examples of GLP-1 medications include: Dulaglutide (Trulicity®), Semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®), Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®). With a short supply of these prescription GLP-1 medications, the same active ingredients, compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are available at Galena Aesthetics. Our experienced Providers are ready to discuss which medication is right for you.
At Galena Aesthetics, your journey to weight management starts with a complimentary consultation with our experienced Providers. They will review your information through careful screening, discuss your weight loss goals and confirm your candidacy for a GLP-1 medication.
A medical weight loss program is typically a comprehensive approach to weight management. Our program at Galena Aesthetics aims to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight through a combination of medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and behavioral strategies.
A thorough medical evaluation is conducted at Galena Aesthetics to assess overall health, identify any underlying medical conditions that may affect weight loss, and determine individual weight loss goals. This assessment include measurements such as weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, and laboratory tests.
Our Providers at Galena Aesthetics will also provide guidance on healthy eating habits, portion control, meal planning, and dietary modifications to support weight loss and overall health. They will also offer education on reading food labels, making healthier food choices, and managing eating triggers.
Personalized exercise programs help individuals increase physical activity levels, improve fitness, and enhance calorie expenditure. Recommendations may include aerobic exercises, strength training, flexibility exercises, and lifestyle modifications to promote regular physical activity. Additionally, regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.
Through careful screening during your initial consultation at Galena Aesthetics, your Provider will only prescribe you a treatment if it is safe and appropriate.

Losing a substantial amount of weight can bring about various physical, emotional, and psychological changes, and the experience can vary greatly from person to person. Here are some common feelings and experiences that our clients at Galena Aesthetics have encountered during their weight loss journey.
“....Okay, I can’t believe how much energy I have! I am finally feeling alive!....”
Many people report feeling more energetic and vibrant as they shed excess weight. With reduced body fat and improved fitness levels, daily activities may become easier, and individuals may find themselves more motivated to engage in physical activity and pursue new interests.
“....I’m finally able to wear a bathing suit without feeling so self-conscious about it! I have my pre-mom body back!....”
Losing weight can boost self-esteem and confidence, especially as individuals notice positive changes in their appearance, clothing fit, and overall well-being. Achieving weight loss goals often brings a sense of accomplishment and pride in one's achievements.
“...I’m able to keep up with my kids activities and participate in soccer with them!...”
Carrying excess weight can restrict movement and mobility, leading to discomfort and limitations in daily activities. As weight is lost, individuals may experience improved mobility, flexibility, and range of motion, allowing them to move more freely and participate in activities they enjoy with their family and friends.
“...I’m so happy to see that my blood sugars and cholesterol levels are back to normal! Bringing my health back slowly but surely….”
Weight loss can lead to significant improvements in various health markers, such as blood pressure, blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, and joint pain. Individuals may experience relief from obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and joint problems.
“...I finally made time for ME and I am finally happy. This is just the jumpstart I needed to regain control of my life…”
Losing weight often leads to improvements in overall quality of life, including better physical health, mental well-being, and social functioning. Individuals may feel happier, more fulfilled, and more engaged in life as they achieve their weight loss goals and regain control over their health.
Overall, losing a substantial amount of weight can be a transformative and empowering experience, but it also involves navigating various physical, emotional, and behavioral changes. At Galena Aesthetics, we strive in building a supportive environment and focusing on overall health and well-being. We find this is what helps our clients navigate the weight loss journey successfully and sustainably.
