A Beginner’s Guide to GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections and Results
Let’s face it: losing weight is hard. If you’ve tried everything, diets, workouts, and wellness plans, but nothing seems to stick, it’s time to consider a medical option. Enter: GLP-1 weight loss injections.
Backed by science and prescribed under medical supervision, these injections, using compounds like semaglutide and tirzepatide, are helping people shed pounds safely and effectively.
At All Eyez On U Beauty Bar and Boutique in Highland, CA, our weight management clinic offers this powerful, non-surgical weight loss treatment for those seeking real, sustainable results.
What Are GLP-1 Injections?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone naturally found in your body that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. In injectable form, it mimics this hormone, helping you:
Feel fuller faster
Control blood sugar spikes
Burn fat more efficiently
Curb cravings
The most popular prescription GLP-1 medications include semaglutide (found in brands like Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro).
How Do They Work?
Here’s what makes GLP-1 so powerful:
Delays stomach emptying, so you stay full longer.
Suppresses appetite, helping you naturally eat less.
Improves insulin sensitivity, reducing fat storage.
Boosts metabolism, leading to fat burn, not just water loss.
Unlike fad diets or stimulants, these prescription weight loss tools work with your biology, not against it.
Who’s a Candidate?
GLP-1 injections are ideal for adults who:
Have a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions (like high blood pressure or cholesterol)
Have a BMI over 30
Have struggled with weight despite lifestyle changes
Want a non-surgical alternative to bariatric surgery
At All Eyez On U Beauty Bar and Boutique, we perform a full health screening before beginning any medical weight loss program.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
Results vary, but many clients lose 15% or more of their body weight over a 6–12 month period when combining injections with healthy eating and movement.
You’ll also notice improvements in energy, mood, sleep, and overall wellness.
What’s the Treatment Process Like?
Initial consult: We review your medical history and goals.
Prescription plan: If eligible, you’ll begin weekly injections.

Most people tolerate the injections well. Side effects can include nausea, fatigue, or constipation, but they usually resolve with time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may result in even more appetite control.
How quickly will I see weight loss?
Most patients begin to see changes within 4–6 weeks, with continued weight loss over several months.
Are GLP-1 injections safe?
Yes, when prescribed by a medical provider and used under supervision, they are safe for most adults.
Do I have to follow a strict diet?
While no diet is forced, better results happen when injections are combined with healthy eating and lifestyle habits.
Can I stop once I reach my goal?
You’ll work with our team to create a sustainable plan. Some clients taper off; others continue at a maintenance dose.
