Health and wellness encompasses a significant portion of the comprehensive services available at Mariposa Medical Aesthetics. Through our diligently crafted program, we provide our clients with access to cutting-edge medical treatments designed to boost their health journey. For instance, with the recent integration of our Semaglutide and Tirzepatide program, we are guiding clients toward healthier version of themselves. Looking beyond numerical weight, our mission is to support across all dimensions of health, acknowledging the multifaceted nature of well-being.
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are peptides that impact how our bodies handle food. These medications mimic a natural hormone that regulates our response to food intake, kickstarting a series of processes to make better use of the energy from that food. Changes in our body’s ability to efficiently process food can result from unhealthy habits, genetics, or the environment. These peptides boost our natural response to a more effective level. Importantly, stopping these supplements doesn’t mean your body becomes dependent on them forever. Once weight is lost and the underlying factors contributing to inefficient metabolism are addressed, patients can usually stop taking these peptides. Some individuals may need a low dose for an extended period, but this depends on their overall health, not a prolonged effect of the medication.
The primary advantage of these medications lies in their capacity to induce a prolonged feeling of fullness, resulting in a notable reduction in overall food intake. Furthermore, many individuals experience a decrease in “food noise” – that persistent mental chatter urging us to consume something we may not truly desire but can’t seem to shake off. This reduction in unwanted cravings has emerged as a particularly gratifying aspect of our program. Patients are witnessing tangible results without the perception of being on a restrictive “diet” or feeling deprived.
On a cellular level, these medications operate by intensifying the metabolism of glucose. Despite its recent introduction to the realm of weight loss, it’s noteworthy that this medication has been in use for over a decade as a treatment for diabetes, showcasing its established efficacy in modulating glucose metabolism.
Mariposa relies on the services of Olympia Pharmacy in Florida, an FDA-approved establishment renowned for its secure and reliable production of the medications integral to our programs. Administered through weekly injections, our clients have the flexibility to receive these treatments either in our office or in the comfort of their homes. For added convenience, we extend the option of remote prescribing, ensuring the medications are conveniently dispatched directly to you.
As our valued client, you undergo a comprehensive health intake process, culminating in a tailored prescription for the prescribed medications. Our commitment to your success extends beyond mere prescription; we provide ongoing support that encompasses detailed instructions on self-injection techniques, effective management of potential side effects, and additional supportive measures crucial to your journey toward achieving success in your health objectives.
The potential side effects associated with these medications are generally mild and can be easily managed with the dedicated support of our team. During your initial consultation, we will delve into a comprehensive discussion of these potential side effects. Moreover, we will thoroughly review your medical history to identify any individual factors that might pose risks in taking the medication. Our aim is to ensure a thorough understanding of the medication’s effects, address any concerns, and tailor our approach to your specific health profile, fostering a safe and effective journey towards your health goals.
