I recently visited Steph ness aesthetics for a facial peel I have to say it was a fantastic experience. Having never had a facial like this before, Stephanie explained everything brilliantly I felt comfortable and confident in her skills. I also had a couple of calcium spots on my cheek, these had always had them and never been able to get rid of them. Steph was able to remove them with a quick painless way to say I am pleased with the outcome of both treatments I’ve had is an understatement and would highly recommend Stephanie.

Our Weight Loss Injections
WeGovy
Approved by the FDA, Wegovy offers a new approach to weight management that combines medical innovation with the body’s natural mechanisms. Below, we explore what Wegovy is, how it works, and what potential users might expect from this treatment.
What is WeGovy?
Wegovy is a brand name for semaglutide, a medication administered via injection and approved for chronic weight management in adults. It is specifically designed for individuals who have obesity (with a body mass index, BMI, of 30 or greater) or are overweight (BMI of 27 or greater) and also have at least one weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
How Does WeGovy Work?
Wegovy operates through mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. By enhancing the actions of GLP-1, Wegovy can significantly reduce hunger, promote feelings of fullness, and thereby, decrease overall calorie intake.
The treatment involves a once-weekly injection under the skin (subcutaneous). It’s often started with a lower dose that is gradually increased over time to the maintenance dose. This gradual increase helps mitigate side effects and allows the body to adjust to the medication.
What Are The Benefits?
Clinical trials have shown that patients using Wegovy, in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, experience significant weight loss compared to those not on the medication. On average, individuals can expect a weight reduction of around 10% to 15% of their body weight, though outcomes can vary based on individual factors including diet, exercise, and adherence to the treatment regimen.
Mounjaro
Mounjaro is engineered to assist with supporting weight loss by mimicking incretin hormones, it enhances insulin secretion and curbs appetite, leading to lower blood glucose levels and reduced calorie intake. This makes it a valuable resource for effective weight management and overall health.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro, known generically as tirzepatide, is a groundbreaking injection developed for weight loss and the management of type 2 diabetes. It functions as a dual agonist, targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to enhance insulin secretion and reduce appetite. Clinical studies have demonstrated significant weight loss among participants using Mounjaro, with many experiencing a reduction in body mass index and improved metabolic health. As with any medication, it is important for individuals considering Mounjaro to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss potential benefits and side effects, ensuring it is an appropriate option for their weight loss journey.
How Does Mounjaro Work?
Mounjaro works by mimicking the action of two hormones, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory peptide), that play crucial roles in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. When administered, it stimulates the release of insulin in response to meals, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Additionally, Mounjaro helps reduce appetite by affecting brain signals related to hunger, leading to decreased calorie intake. This dual mechanism not only aids in blood sugar management for individuals with type 2 diabetes but also promotes weight loss by encouraging healthier eating habits and weight control strategies.
What Are The Benefits?
Mounjaro offers several key benefits for individuals managing type 2 diabetes and those seeking weight loss. Firstly, its dual-action mechanism not only aids in effective blood sugar control but also actively suppresses appetite, leading to significant reductions in calorie intake. This can result in substantial weight loss, which is beneficial for metabolic health and overall well-being. Additionally, users of Mounjaro often report increased energy levels and improved mood, likely due to more stable blood glucose levels and healthier eating patterns. Furthermore, by fostering better dietary habits and encouraging regular physical activity, Mounjaro supports long-term weight management and enhances the quality of life for those with type 2 diabetes. Lastly, clinical evidence suggests that using Mounjaro can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, making it an appealing option for those navigating this chronic condition.
Ozempic
Ozempic’s ability to aid in significant weight loss has garnered attention from both the medical community and individuals striving for a healthier weight. It belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists that work by mimicking the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone in the body, which is involved in blood sugar regulation.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic, scientifically known as semaglutide, is a medication approved by the FDA primarily to treat Type 2 diabetes. It’s administered through weekly injections and works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.
How Does Ozempic Work?
The mechanism of Ozempic’s action plays a significant role in its effectiveness for weight loss:
- Appetite Suppression: By mimicking GLP-1, Ozempic slows gastric emptying, the process by which food leaves your stomach. This action can make you feel fuller for longer periods, reducing overall calorie intake.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: For those with Type 2 diabetes, Ozempic helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can reduce cravings and abrupt hunger pangs associated with blood sugar spikes.
- Impact on Brain Regulation: Ozempic acts on brain centers that regulate appetite, thereby decreasing hunger.
What Are The Benefits?
While your healthcare provider can offer the most personalized advice, here are some general benefits associated with Ozempic injections:
1. Improved Blood Sugar Control
Ozempic helps lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, thereby aiding in the management of the condition. It does this by stimulating insulin release when blood sugar levels are high, slowing down sugar production in the liver, and delaying gastric emptying to prevent blood sugar spikes after meals.
2. Weight Loss
Many users of Ozempic report weight loss as a significant benefit. Though not a weight-loss medication, the way Ozempic works can lead to reduced appetite and calorie intake, which may result in weight loss. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes who are also looking to manage their weight.
3. Reduced Risk of Major Cardiovascular Events
For some people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, Ozempic has been shown to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death from a cardiovascular cause. This makes it a valuable option for individuals looking for a diabetes treatment that also supports heart health.
4. Convenient Dosage Schedule
Ozempic is administered once weekly, which may be more convenient than medications requiring daily dosing. This once-weekly schedule can make it easier for some people to stick to their treatment plan.
5. May Improve Other Health Markers
In addition to its primary benefits, Ozempic may also contribute to improvements in other health markers, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure, when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.
