Weight Management

See if you’re a qualified candidate for medical weight loss and start your journey to more sustainable weight management.

For those struggling to lose weight, peptide therapy is a fantastic tool for effective and sustainable weight management. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are FDA-approved drugs that can help people lose weight and improve their overall health and longevity. This treatment is often prescribed to individuals who have had difficulty losing weight and with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27 or higher.

Both medications work by mimicking hormones through increased insulin production, decreased glucagon synthesis, delayed gastric emptying, and suppressed hunger. They essentially signal your brain that you are full so you can lose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself.

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide injections through Evolve Aesthetics* offer many benefits to qualified candidates through just one treatment per week, including:

  • Significantly reduce weight (average 1-2 lbs per week)
  • Reduce appetite
  • Feel fuller for longer periods of time
  • Regulate blood sugar
  • Decrease food cravings or “food noise”
*Only available in Vancouver.

Who is qualified for medical weight loss?

You might be eligible for treatment if you:

  • Have excess weight and need to lose up to 30 pounds
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Are obese
  • Have a BMI of 27 or higher
  • Do not have a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or a history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
  • Do not have a history of pancreatitis
  • Are not Type 1 diabetic
  • Are not allergic to Semaglutide or Tirzepatide

What does the treatment period look like?

Once qualified for treatment by our professionals, most patients will be on the treatment for 6-12 months or longer, depending on each individual’s goal weight.

Injections are administered once a week from the comfort of your home into your abdomen, inner thigh, or upper-inner arm.

While results do vary, many patients can expect to lose up to 15-20% of their initial weight.

Are there any potential side effects?

The potential side effects include fatigue, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, changes in mood, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn, among others. More severe side effects are rare but can include allergic reactions, kidney damage, gallstones, pancreatitis, and more.

We will discuss the potential side effects and risks with you in detail before beginning treatment and ways to minimize them.

What you can expect from your initial consultation

During your visit, we will conduct a thorough health history, perform a comprehensive body composition analysis, and review your labs to determine if you are a candidate for peptide treatment. We will also answer any questions you might have about the treatment.

If you are found to be eligible for medical weight loss, we will order your medication and provide you with instructions and supplies for doing your injections at home. Once you begin treatment, it’s crucial that you also implement consistent exercise and a healthy diet into your day-to-day, as peptide therapy is most effective when paired with these lifestyle changes.
