About Medical Weight Loss

More than 70% of adults are overweight or obese and need help in getting to and maintaining their ideal weight. ⁽¹⁾ The latest advancement in weight loss tools is Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is a highly effective FDA-approved weight loss drug.

GLP-1 injections work by helping you feel full sooner, reducing your appetite, and promoting weight loss over time. While individual results may vary, many patients begin to notice positive changes in their appetite and weight within a few weeks of starting the treatment.

Alongside GLP-1 injections, we provide comprehensive lifestyle support to enhance your weight management efforts. Custom treatment plans often pair GLP-1 medications with MIC injections to amplify the weight loss effects. Our team will offer guidance on healthy eating, exercise, and other lifestyle modifications to optimize your results.

GLP-1s for Weight Loss

GLP-1 weight loss medications have proven results in assisting in fat loss and are typically administered as a once-a-week injection. GLP-1 medications are well studied and FDA-approved for weight management. FDA approval was granted after the comprehensive STEP (GLP-1 Treatment Effect in People with Obesity) clinical trial, including four clinical studies involving approximately 4,500 patients, demonstrated that patients taking GLP-1 achieved an average weight loss of 14.9% of body weight at 68 weeks. ⁽²⁾

​GLP-1 is naturally produced by the human gut. It is a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels while inhibiting glucagon secretion. GLP-1 medications mimic the body’s natural hormones and signals to slow down the release of sugar into the blood to burn more fat, reduce food intake by lowering appetite, and delay digestion in the stomach, making you feel fuller longer.

Azad Plastic Surgery offers a GLP-1 weight loss medication and will provide expert guidance on which course of treatment will best suit your needs. ​The weight loss medication is sent directly to your home for convenient self-administration. Side effects are generally mild and decrease over time. These may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.

MIC Injections

MIC injections have been used successfully in combination with weight loss programs for more than 30 years. MIC injections safely give energy and nutrients when reducing caloric intake and are often used in wellness plans to enhance weight loss results.

MIC injections are individually compounded in a custom formulation to best support your body’s unique needs and boost your metabolism. The nutrients included are a class of agents that play important roles in the body’s use of fat. These compounds enhance the liver and gallbladder’s role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up the metabolism of fat and its removal. The addition of B12 generates an energy boost.

MIC injections are not a standalone weight loss solution, but when combined, they amplify the weight loss results of GLP-1s and support improvements in diet and exercise. MIC injections once or twice weekly while dieting allow the patient to lose an additional 1-2 pounds per week.

What Makes Up A MIC Injection?

MIC injections consist of a custom-formulated combination of “B” Essential vitamins (B-1,2,3,5,6 & B12), essential amino acids, and nutrients which are not readily available from the food we eat or are not being produced by our body.

Methionine

Methionine supports the digestive system by helping to remove heavy metals within the body while breaking down fat deposits, reducing the possible build-up of fat in arteries. Methionine can also be converted to cytosine, the precursor of glutathione, which is essential in the detoxification of the liver.

Inositol

Inositol supports the transfer of nutrients at the cellular level and helps maintain proper electrical energy across the cell membrane. In addition, inositol converts fats into other useful forms of energy and assists in establishing healthy cell membranes thus facilitating nerve impulses.

Choline

Choline assists in controlling cholesterol levels in the blood and in controlling weight gain by maintaining healthy cell membranes. Choline has been linked to and directly associated with the maintenance of the nervous system, assisting memory, and is critical for normal cell membrane structure and function.

L-Carnitine

L-Carnitine supports transporting fatty acids into the cells’ mitochondria which break down and burn the fat to create usable energy. L-Carnitine has beneficial effects on blood glucose levels and may help improve muscle recovery after exercise.

B-Complex Vitamins

Benefits

The benefits of weight loss with GLP-1 medications go beyond the number on the scale and include:

Candidates

Weight loss medications are an effective tool for most people who are struggling to lose weight. As part of a complete wellness program, GLP-1s and weight loss medications can boost weight loss beyond the effects of diet and exercise alone.

Candidates who see the best results are overweight or obese, have realistic expectations, and are willing to make lifestyle changes to support the weight loss long-term.
