Work with Your Body—Not Against It

Weight loss shouldn’t be about restriction, punishment, or chasing perfection. It should be about living fully and feeling like yourself again. At Saving Face, our expert-led weight loss program is grounded in clinical evidence and personalized care. We use advanced GLP-1-based injections—medically supervised and tailored to your body’s unique biology—to help regulate hunger, improve metabolic function, and support sustainable fat loss. Our approach blends the latest in medical science with our deep understanding of functional wellness.

What Are GLP-1 Weight Loss Shots?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is an incretin hormone naturally produced in the gut in response to food intake. It signals the brain to encourage feelings of fullness, slow gastric emptying, enhance insulin release, and reduce glucagon production. However, this hormonal pathway may be less active or dysregulated in individuals who have difficulty with weight loss, metabolic dysfunction, or insulin resistance. That’s where weight loss shots come in. These prescription-based injectable treatments mimic the function of your body’s own GLP-1, helping to restore balance to metabolic signals. Unlike stimulants or crash diets, GLP-1 injections support your body’s natural physiology to promote gradual, sustainable fat loss while reducing cardiovascular risk factors and supporting long-term wellness.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Weight loss shots work best when part of a holistic plan tailored to your individual health profile. Ideal candidates may include those who:

  • Struggle with appetite regulation, sugar cravings, or emotional eating
  • Experience weight plateaus despite consistent diet and exercise efforts
  • Have been diagnosed with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or Type 2 diabetes
  • Are navigating PCOS, metabolic syndrome, or other hormone-related imbalances
  • Are undergoing perimenopausal or menopausal transitions with related weight gain
  • Have a BMI of 27 or higher with associated health risks, or a BMI ≥30 or higher

Saving Face takes your health seriously. Before starting any therapy, our team performs a complete medical assessment, including biomarker testing and metabolic screening, to ensure this approach is appropriate for you. If you're not a fit for GLP-1 therapy, we'll work with you to find an alternative that supports your goals safely and effectively.

Weight Loss Shots FAQ

How quickly will I start seeing results with GLP-1 weight loss shots?

Can I combine GLP-1 shots with other treatments or supplements?

What happens if I stop taking the injections?

Are there any common side effects?

Will this affect my thyroid, liver, or kidneys?

Can men use this treatment too?

How quickly will I start seeing results with GLP-1 weight loss shots?

Most clients notice subtle changes, such as reduced cravings and better portion control, within a few weeks. Visible fat loss usually starts after 4 to 8 weeks, with optimal results developing over several months. Consistency is key in this gentle, hormone-supported process.

Can I combine GLP-1 shots with other treatments or supplements?

Absolutely. In fact, we encourage a layered, functional approach. Depending on your goals, your provider may recommend pairing GLP-1 therapy with hormone optimization, nutrition support, EON body contouring, or our in-house longevity services.

What happens if I stop taking the injections?

GLP-1 therapy is designed to help reprogram your metabolic patterns, not create dependency. That said, weight regain is possible if lifestyle and nutrition changes haven’t been integrated alongside the treatment.

Are there any common side effects?

Some clients experience mild nausea, constipation, or bloating early on, especially as their appetite naturally decreases. These effects are typically short-lived and manageable. We take a low-and-slow dosing approach to minimize discomfort and will adjust your protocol as needed to keep you feeling your best.

Will this affect my thyroid, liver, or kidneys?

GLP-1 medications have been studied extensively and are generally considered safe for long-term use under medical supervision. However, we always perform baseline labs and monitor thyroid function, liver enzymes, and kidney markers throughout treatment, because your whole-body wellness is our priority.

Can men use this treatment too?

Absolutely. Metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and stubborn weight gain affect men too, especially as testosterone declines with age. GLP-1 therapy, combined with hormone optimization and strategic lifestyle support, can be incredibly effective for male patients.
