It uses painless, weekly injection into belly fat with a tiny needle to reduces appetite and food cravings while increasing feeling of fullness.

Individual results vary based on factors such as adherence to treatment, lifestyle changes, and overall health status. Clinical experience and studies involving GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists have shown that these medications can be highly effective tools in achieving and sustaining weight loss for those who are dedicated to their health journey.
