Weight Loss Injections, Kyle TX
Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections are an effective way to lose weight safely when you’re struggling with extra pounds. Given in the form of weekly injections, these treatments target the hormones that control your appetite and metabolism. This makes it easier for you to say no to that little late snack. Kyle Weightloss & Medspa offers weight loss injection options to those who want to lose some extra pounds and look their best.
Overview of Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections are weekly injectable treatments that lower your appetite and make you feel satiated faster. Using active agents such as Semaglutide (Wegovy®) or Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®), they help regulate the metabolic functions of your body by controlling the hormones.
Patients need to understand the difference between the two weight loss options before making a choice:
Semaglutide: A GLP-1 receptor agonist originally used for Type 2 diabetes as Ozempic®, it’s now FDA-approved for weight loss as Wegovy®. The drug improves the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and signals to the brain that you’ve eaten enough. Together with the slower stomach emptying, you’ll eat smaller portions while feeling satiated. A six to 12-month treatment course can reduce 10-15% of your body weight.
Tirzepatide: A dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, it reduces appetite by regulating insulin production and improves metabolic function. It can also improve your energy levels while making it easier to burn calories. A six to 12-month treatment has the potential to reduce 15-20% of your body weight.
Both medications are effective for losing weight, especially when used together with a healthy diet and exercise regimen. That said, Tirzepatide is the recommended choice when you were on Semaglutide treatments and did not get the results you wanted.
Benefits of Weight Loss Injections
Here are some of the benefits that our patients can enjoy when going for our weight loss injections:
-
Appetite Suppression
The medication mimics the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is a hormone released in your gut after eating. This signals to the appetite center of your brain that you’ve eaten enough, preventing you from getting that second serving.
-
Boosted Metabolism
Weight loss injections can give the metabolism a boost, increasing your energy levels. This makes it easier to burn fat and reach your desired weight. The effect is even more noticeable when you combine it with a diet rich in amino acids and vitamins, along with exercise.
-
Slowed Gastric Emptying
Weight loss injections, specifically GLP1-based ones, slow down gastric activity by mimicking incretin. When it binds to the receptors in your stomach and small intestines, it slows muscular contractions. Food won’t be pushed out as fast, which means you’ll feel full for a longer time and no longer snack as much.
Treatment Areas and Pricing
Prices differ based on your dose requirements and your goals. The more weight you want to lose, the higher the price will go. Payments are made every four injections, the costs for the monthly package being the following:
Patients are also required to pay an initial consultation fee of $49. This is integrated into your first month's payment, after our providers determine which option works best for your needs.
Pre-Treatment and Comfort
Since it’s a medical treatment, weight loss injections are well-tolerated. Our providers will review your medical history and conduct baseline labs to determine the right treatment dosage. These can be increased or decreased afterward, depending on how the body is adjusting to them.
No fasting is required pre-treatment, although we do recommend you stay hydrated and eat as healthily as possible. This helps reduce potential side effects such as nausea later on. Alcohol should also be avoided as much as possible on the first night, as it irritates the digestive system.
Make sure to tell us if you are on any medications or supplements so we can determine if there are any unwanted interactions. You should also inform our providers if you have a history of thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, or severe gastrointestinal diseases.
The in-office injections use thin needles to administer the drug, which means you’ll feel a slight pinch or pressure at most. The procedure doesn’t require local anesthetic, but if you are particularly sensitive, we can use an ice pack to numb the area.
What to Expect During and After Weight Loss Injections?
Weight loss injections are customized based on your needs and possibilities during your initial consultation. However, we do follow some standard steps and guidelines to ensure safe and effective administration. This includes the following:
-
Initial Consultation
We’ll review your medical condition and record your starting weight, BMI, and goals. This way, we will decide which weight loss injection option is best for your needs.
-
First Dose Administration
We administer the first dose in the office, usually in your thigh or your abdomen. During this time, we will also demonstrate how to draw the product so that you can safely administer it at home. If necessary, we can also book you for weekly visits if self-administration is not possible.
-
Monthly Check-In
You’ll be asked to come into the office or contact us via telephone, based on your preferences and possibilities. This is a necessary step, as we will track your progress and discuss potential side effects. If necessary, we will adjust the dosage.
-
Recovery
No recovery is necessary for this treatment, although you will likely experience some side effects. This includes temporary bruising at the injection site, along with some digestive symptoms. The latter usually subsides after two to four weeks, once the body adjusts to the medication. Expect the occasional nausea, mild constipation and diarrhea, and bloating. Vomiting is rare but can happen if you eat too much.
-
Results
Appetite reduction occurs within seven to 14 days of the first dose, as the drug needs time to take effect. You’ll lose weight faster in the first one to two months, but the body will eventually adjust to the treatment, and the weight loss should become steady. Noticeable results appear after around three to six months of treatment, although the final timeline depends on your baseline weight and goals.

Not necessarily. You’ll still feel the joy of eating, and you’ll still feel hungry when it’s time to eat. However, you won’t feel the need to eat as much during meal time, cutting the risk of seconds. Since the food stays in your digestive system for longer, you shouldn’t feel the need to snack as much.
This depends on how well you take care of yourself after you wean off the medication. If you keep a sedentary lifestyle and don’t eat healthily, you’ll likely gain weight again. However, if you make lifestyle changes (e.g., healthy eating and regular exercise), you can keep the weight off for good.
This depends on your starting weight and the speed at which you are losing weight. If you are severely obese, there’s a chance of excess skin. We recommend following an exercise regimen and hydration to help the skin stay elastic. Procedures such as microneedling also give collagen production a boost, which can reduce skin sagging.
This depends on how long you follow the program. For the most part, you can expect to lose about 30 lbs in a year or so. Still, you can lose more if you adopt a healthy lifestyle, with exercise and good nutrition.
Prices can change with larger packages, as comprehensive treatments pay off better in the long term. Ask Glow Med Spa for a quote based on your specific case, and start your journey toward pigment-free skin.
Pre-Treatment and Comfort
Clients should steer clear of harsh skincare products such as exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for at least a week pre-treatment. These sensitize the skin and can lead to more irritation after the procedure.
The Cosmelan® treatment is well-tolerated by most people and requires no anesthesia. That said, a topical numbing cream can be applied upon request if your skin is particularly sensitive.
What to Expect During and After Cosmelan®?
Cosmelan® treatments are customized based on your skin’s needs and long-term goals. That said, our providers keep some steps standard for consistency, effectiveness, and safety. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Consultation
We’ll discuss your goals and come up with a personalized treatment plan. Our providers will take into account your skin sensitivities and concerns, along with your history with hyperpigmentation.
-
Area Prepping
Our providers will cleanse the skin using gentle products to ensure there’s no dirt or lingering makeup left. This way, there won’t be a barrier between the skin and the product.
-
Mask Application
We will apply the mask evenly on the target area, depending on your needs. The solution will stay there for a few minutes until it dries sufficiently, after which you can go home. The solution remains on your skin for the next eight to 12 hours, after which you can remove it with a gentle facial cleanser and lukewarm water.
-
Home Treatment Instructions
You’ll be given the instructions on how to properly apply the Cosmelan® 2 cream and other products. This lets you reach optimal results without delay, with your skin gradually brightening with every application.
-
Recovery
Expect some mild redness over the next five to seven days, along with some dryness and a slight warming sensation. These effects are a sign that the mask is doing its job and has begun removing the damaged layers of the skin. Use a gentle moisturizer and avoid exfoliating products for the time being. Broad-spectrum sunblock is not just recommended, but essential.
-
Results
The timeline for the results depends on your level of pigmentation. Most clients notice significant improvement after two to three weeks, but the skin quality keeps improving over the next few months. Use the Cosmelan® 2 cream every day for best results.
