Most patients find Semaglutide and Tirzepatide treatments to be very tolerable. Both medications are delivered through a quick, subcutaneous injection, using a fine needle that causes only minimal discomfort. Some individuals may notice mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, but these effects resolve within a few hours.

The number of appointments depends on your personalized weight loss plan. For most patients, an initial consultation and baseline lab work are followed by regular monthly check-ins with the CraftMD team. These visits enable us to monitor your progress, adjust your medication dosage as needed, and provide ongoing guidance to support you. Some patients may also choose to add MIC shots or nutritional counseling, which can require more frequent visits depending on the plan. Because both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are designed for long-term, consistent use, you can expect to remain in regular contact with our office to ensure safe and sustainable results.

With the consistent use of Semaglutide or other GLP-1 agonists, patients can experience significant weight loss over time. Alongside the reduction in body weight, improvements in blood sugar control and other related health parameters are often observed.

Patients who incorporate MIC shots into their weight loss regimen often notice enhanced fat loss, increased energy levels, and improved overall well-being. These injections can complement a healthy diet and exercise routine, helping individuals achieve their weight loss goals more effectively.

At CraftMD, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are often paired with MIC shots, which boost metabolism and energy while supporting fat breakdown. They can also be integrated into a broader treatment plan alongside body contouring procedures, skin tightening, or a “mommy makeover” once patients have achieved their target weight. Dr. Craft will help you decide which treatments complement each other safely, ensuring that your plan is both medically sound and aligned with your long-term goals.

Like any medical treatment, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide come with potential risks, though serious complications are uncommon when an experienced physician monitors therapy. The most common side effects include mild nausea, digestive upset, constipation, or diarrhea, particularly when first starting treatment. These effects often lessen as your body adjusts to the medication. In rare cases, patients may experience more significant issues such as gallbladder problems, pancreatitis, or changes in blood sugar levels, which is why careful medical supervision and regular follow-ups are so important. The CraftMD team will review your health history, provide ongoing monitoring, and adjust your dosage as needed to minimize risks and maximize your results.
