Tirzepatide For Weight Loss
in Pasadena
What is Tirzepatide for
Weight Loss?
According to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tirzepatide is the most effective GLP-1 medication for weight loss 1. The study involved 751 individuals with obesity (and not diabetes). In the 72-week study, people taking tirzepatide lost around 20% of their body weight on average. In comparison, those using semaglutide (sold under names like Ozempic® for diabetes and Wegovy® for obesity) lost about 14%.
Unlike traditional weight loss methods that rely on willpower alone, tirzepatide targets the biological pathways that influence cravings and energy storage. It has become a popular option for individuals looking to lose significant weight safely and sustainably.
How Tirzepatide Works
It also helps your body use insulin more efficiently and keeps your blood sugar levels steady—two major factors that often block weight loss efforts. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, tirzepatide can support steady, long-term weight loss without the burnout of crash diets.

What To Expect During
Your Tirzepatide Pasadena Appointment
If tirzepatide is a good fit, your provider will walk you through how the injections work and how often you’ll receive them. You’ll typically start with a low dose, with adjustments made over time based on how your body responds.
Your provider will also give you guidance on lifestyle support, such as nutrition and activity, that pairs well with the medication. Follow-up appointments help track your progress and make any needed changes to your plan. Most people receive their injections once a week, either at our office or through self-injection at home, depending on your preference and eligibility.
Are There Side Effects?
Like most medications, tirzepatide can cause side effects, though many people tolerate it well, especially when starting at a low dose. The most common side effects include nausea, decreased appetite, constipation, or diarrhea. These symptoms will often improve as your body adjusts.
Your Parfaire Medical Aesthetics provider will review your medical history and monitor your response to the injections to keep you feeling your best. Some clients also notice changes in blood sugar levels, which is why regular check-ins matter during your weight loss journey.
If you experience any side effects, we can adjust your dosage or offer tips to minimize discomfort while still helping you lose weight safely.
