Weight Loss

Safe, Effective, Clinically Proven

For many people struggling with weight loss, targeted medical treatments like semaglutide and tirzepatide offer a promising approach.

These medications, initially developed for type 2 diabetes, are now increasingly used for weight management. Acting on natural hormones to regulate appetite and glucose, they help individuals lose weight in a safe, medically-supervised way.

At ARCmd in Weston, our experts work with you to create a customized weight-loss plan using these advanced options.

What Are

Medical Weight Loss

Treatments?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are prescription medications that help manage weight by mimicking hormones that impact appetite and metabolism. Semaglutide, found in drugs like Wegovy, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that encourages insulin production and sends signals of fullness to the brain.

Tirzepatide, known as Mounjaro, has dual action as both a GLP-1 and GIP agonist, making it even more potent for weight loss. This dual mechanism contributes to tirzepatide’s unique effectiveness, as studies have shown it may result in greater weight loss compared to semaglutide.
