What the Science Tells Us?
Clinical trials show that GLP-1 medications such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide can lead to significant and sustained weight loss. In FDA-approved studies, patients taking Semaglutide lost an average of 15 percent of their body weight, while those using Tirzepatide experienced reductions closer to 20 percent.
These numbers are not just impressive, they are transformational. More importantly, these medications are not quick-fix solutions. They work by addressing the biological reasons many people struggle with appetite, cravings, and insulin resistance.
Dr. Michael Moran frequently explains to patients that this is not about simply suppressing hunger. These medications target deeper hormonal pathways that regulate how your brain and body respond to food.
Why It Works for the Right Patients?
Weight loss injections work best for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 and above with a related condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes.
The medications mimic hormones that naturally occur in the body to:
- Slow down digestion
- Increase feelings of fullness
- Reduce the intensity and frequency of cravings
- Improve blood sugar control
This makes it easier for people to eat fewer calories without feeling deprived or stuck in the cycle of yo-yo dieting. According to Dr. Michael Moran, the real power comes when these injections are combined with structure, coaching, and mindset support.
Results You Can Actually See
Patients at Silhouette MD often begin noticing changes within the first four to six weeks. Clothes fit differently. Energy improves. Cravings fade. Weight loss typically becomes more visible between months two and three.
Of course, results vary based on lifestyle, consistency, and how the body responds to treatment. But the majority of patients who follow their provider’s plan lose between 10 and 20 percent of their body weight over a six to twelve month period.
That’s not just numbers on a scale. That’s lower blood pressure, improved confidence, better sleep, and a renewed sense of control over your health.
Common Reasons Some People Don't See Results
While these medications are highly effective, they are not magic. A few factors can limit their impact:
- Skipping doses or not following the schedule
- Poor diet or lack of hydration
- Overeating to push past appetite signals
- Not addressing stress, sleep, or emotional triggers
That’s why Silhouette MD includes a complete wellness approach. Dr. Michael Moran has built a program that combines medical oversight with practical support, so no one feels lost or unsure along the way.
If a patient feels they are not seeing results, we look deeper at their nutrition, movement, and other lifestyle habits. Often, small changes can reignite progress.
Backed by Experience, Not Just Hype
Unlike many weight loss fads, GLP-1 medications have a growing body of evidence supporting their effectiveness. But more importantly, they have been life-changing for real people.
At Silhouette MD, we’ve helped hundreds of patients lose weight safely and sustainably through personalized GLP-1 treatment plans. With regular check-ins, ongoing education, and support every step of the way, the process becomes something you can trust.
Dr. Michael Moran often reminds patients that the goal isn’t just weight loss. The goal is building a life where you feel empowered, healthy, and supported in the long term.
Conclusion
Yes, weight loss injections really work. But the results don’t come from the medication alone. They come from consistency, medical support, and a program designed to help you grow in confidence and control.
Dr. Michael Moran and the team at Silhouette MD are here to guide you with personalized care and trusted medical expertise. If you’re ready to take control of your weight with a program that values your long-term health and progress, we’ll help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
