GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are changing the weight loss conversation, offering medically supervised, sustainable results without extreme dieting or guesswork. At Illume Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, we offer a comprehensive Weight Loss & Wellness Program tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking for long-term support, here’s what to expect when starting a GLP-1 weight loss treatment at Illume.
What Are GLP-1 and GIP Medications?
GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) help regulate appetite, improve insulin response, and increase feelings of fullness. At Illume, we offer two injectable medications under medical supervision:
A trusted and widely studied GLP-1 medication, semaglutide slows digestion, reduces hunger, and supports consistent weight loss with weekly injections.
Tirzepatide
The next generation in weight loss medications, tirzepatide is both a GLP-1 and a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). It works more efficiently than semaglutide alone, helping to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce cravings, and support greater long-term weight loss with fewer side effects.
✨ Illume Insight: Tirzepatide is associated with an average weight loss of up to 26.6% body weight over 84 weeks, when paired with healthy lifestyle choices.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your weight loss journey at Illume begins with a thorough consultation. Our licensed providers create a fully personalized plan, which may include:
- Weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide injections
- Ongoing check-ins and progress evaluations
- Nutrition and wellness guidance
- Optional vitamin injections to support energy and immunity
You’ll start at a lower dose that gradually increases for comfort and safety.
Common Early Changes:
- Decreased appetite and portion sizes
- Reduced cravings and snacking
- Mild, temporary side effects such as nausea or fatigue
- Initial weight loss of 1–2 pounds per week with semaglutide
- Even greater results with tirzepatide, plus reduced nausea compared to GLP-1-only options
How Much Does It Cost?
Illume offers transparent, all-inclusive pricing for both of its medically supervised weight loss programs:
- Semaglutide:
$1,799 total if paid in full, or $650/month if paid monthly for the initial 12-week program
- Tirzepatide:
$2,500 total if paid in full, or $950/month if paid monthly for the initial 12-week program
Both plans include all injections, medical supervision, and progress check-ins to ensure safe, effective weight loss support from start to finish.
Tips for Long-Term Success
GLP-1 and GIP medications are most effective when combined with supportive habits:
- Drink plenty of water and prioritize protein-rich meals
- Avoid skipping meals even if you’re less hungry
- Stay active with regular walks or light strength training
- Follow all dosage and check-in recommendations from your provider
✨ Wellness Tip: Tirzepatide allows for easier exercise integration with fewer side effects, making it easier to build lasting habits.
