If you've ever struggled with weight loss, you understand how challenging it can be. Certain diets that claim to help can be not only miserable but unsustainable. And for many, they don't provide any real results. Some may consider weight loss surgery as an alternative, but this can come with significant downtime. With semaglutide and tirzepatide, medical weight loss can be successful, and you can see real results.
At StarkMD, we are committed to offering the most innovative and safe aesthetic solutions for our patients. Dr. Ran Stark is a double-board certified, RealSelf verified plastic surgeon with a passion for helping people achieve their aesthetic goals and boosting their confidence. Weight loss with semaglutide and tirzepatide in Philadelphia, PA, at our well-appointed office, is one of the tools we use to help our patients see stunning, life-changing transformations.
Semaglutide is part of a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). These drugs mimic the effects of a natural hormone called GLP-1, which is involved in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. Semaglutide works by stimulating the GLP-1 receptors in the brain. This activation helps regulate appetite and reduce food intake, leading to a sensation of fullness or satiety and, ultimately, weight loss.
Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide's unique way of functioning involves the activation of both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These hormones are critical to regulating blood sugar levels, appetite, and insulin release. This approach is designed to improve blood sugar control and reduce body weight.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide can significantly enhance your quality of life by helping to address both aesthetic and medical weight-related concerns. Our Philadelphia Semaglutide patients enjoy benefits including:
It should be noted that Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are not a substitute for lifestyle changes that are needed for obtaining and maintaining weight loss results, such as proper diet and exercise. It is vital to follow all instructions from your provider to ensure optimal results with these treatments.
Because these treatments are non-surgical and versatile, nearly anyone who is looking to achieve significant weight loss can be a candidate. Great candidates for medical weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide are typically over a certain BMI, may have weight-related health issues, and are committed to living a healthy lifestyle along with taking the medication. Those with certain kidney or gastrointestinal disorders may not be eligible for this treatment, and you will want to discuss such concerns in detail with your provider.
This treatment requires close monitoring to ensure that you receive the correct dosage and to keep track of results and any side effects. At your first appointment for Semaglutide Philadelphia plastic surgeon, Dr. Stark, or one of our aesthetic experts will take your vitals and teach you how to inject the medication on your own, which is done weekly. We will also provide detailed instructions and information on what to expect and side effects to look out for.
At StarkMD, the entire team is highly skilled, trained, and committed to providing each patient with top-quality patient care for every procedure, from the simplest medspa treatment to extensive surgery. Dr. Ran Stark is dedicated to positive outcomes for his patients and has won multiple Patient's Choice and Top Doctor awards, along with being featured multiple times in Haute Magazine and other media.

Yes, our patients and many others throughout the country have seen significant weight loss results with these medications.
While these medications are considered low risk when used under a physician's care, there are certain side effects that could occur, including nausea, abdominal pain, or other gastrointestinal upset. Be sure to read manufacturer warnings about all possible adverse reactions.
Ultimately, weight loss depends on the patient's adherence to the program, but we see many cases where significant body weight has been successfully shed.
Due to the way these medications function, results are maintained as long as the medication is taken. While they can be taken long-term, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle so weight loss results can be sustained without them.
