Weight loss is a process of reducing body weight through a combination of diet, exercise, and sometimes medical interventions. At the Wellness Center of Cleveland, we offer personalized weight loss programs that combine healthy lifestyle modifications with innovative solutions like weight loss injections to help you achieve your weight goals safely and effectively.
What are Weight Loss Injections?
We offer advanced weight loss injections designed to replicate a naturally occurring hormone that tells your brain that you are full. As a result, food cravings decrease significantly, and you will feel full after enjoying smaller meal portions. Additionally, digestion is slowed as the time it takes for food to leave the body increases, similar to the effects of bariatric surgery.
Originally approved for diabetes type 2, weight loss injections help patients to lose considerable amounts of weight, going beyond what was possible through diet and exercise alone, significantly improving health outcomes and minimizing the risks of weight-related complications.
Our weight loss programs begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your health history, current lifestyle, and weight loss goals. We'll then create a customized plan that may include:

Our medical professionals will assess your individual health history and needs to determine if weight loss injections are right for you.
Our weight loss programs focus on healthy lifestyle modifications and medical interventions that are generally safe and well-tolerated. You may experience some mild side effects from medications, such as nausea or changes in bowel habits, but these are typically temporary. Our team will monitor your progress closely and provide support to manage any side effects.
The results of our weight loss programs vary depending on individual factors and commitment to the program. Most patients experience gradual and steady weight loss over time. The goal is to achieve sustainable weight loss through healthy lifestyle changes that you can maintain long-term.
How much weight do you actually lose with weight loss injections?
As with any weight loss journey, the specific results patients will see while receiving weight loss injections will vary. Factors such as a patient’s starting weight, commitment to taking the medication, and lifestyle interventions, can all impact the efficacy of the treatment.
Generally, however, the weight loss achieved with weight loss injections is considerable. In general, a person can expect to lose 15 percent of their body weight during their first year of treatment. This can be a life-changing amount of weight loss for many obese individuals. Oftentimes, losing this amount of weight can greatly reduce the health risks associated with being overweight. When patients combine weight loss injections with lifestyle alterations such as diet and exercise their results will be most effective.
The specialists at the Wellness Center of Cleveland will work with patients to develop a weight loss treatment plan to help them make the most out of their weight loss results.
Weight loss injections have been rigorously tested and approved by the FDA for chronic weight management. Our medical team will monitor your health throughout your treatment.
The duration of treatment depends on your individual needs and weight loss goals.
The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, which are usually mild and temporary.
Insurance coverage for weight loss injections varies. We recommend checking with your insurance provider.
Weight loss injections may be a suitable treatment option for people with type 2 diabetes, but it's essential to discuss this with our medical professionals.

Compared to other forms of weight loss, noticing results from weight loss injections won’t take long. However, before you begin to notice the transformative results, your body must adjust to the medication.
Most individuals will begin treatment with a 0.25 mg dose for the first 4 weeks of treatment. This dose is considerably lower than the final maintenance dose and will help patients to tolerate side effects. After this, your dosage will increase to 0.5 mg per week and adjusted accordingly based on your body’s response.
Once you have reached a steady state, after the first 4 to 5 weeks of treatment, you will begin to notice the effects. Depending on how long it takes to reach your final maintenance dose results will vary, however, typically patients will begin losing several pounds a week at the time.
