GLP-1 medical weight loss at JOLI Medispa offers a clinically guided approach to reducing appetite, improving metabolic function, and supporting sustainable weight management. We help patients in Covington and Northshore achieve meaningful, long-term results safely.
What is Glp-1 Medical Weight Loss?
GLP-1 medical weight loss uses prescription medications that mimic naturally occurring hormones to help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve how your body processes glucose. By targeting the biological drivers of weight gain, these therapies support reduced hunger, increased satiety, and improved metabolic function, creating a comprehensive, medically supervised path toward safe, sustainable, and clinically proven weight loss.
Please schedule an appointment to discuss your options for GLP-1 medications right for you.
How Do Glp-1 Weight Loss Medications Work?
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone your body releases after you eat. This hormone communicates with areas of the brain that control hunger and fullness, helping you feel satisfied sooner and for longer periods of time. At the same time, these medications slow how soon food leaves your stomach, which reduces sudden spikes in blood sugar and prevents the rapid return of hunger. Together, these effects make it easier to eat smaller portions without feeling deprived.
In addition to appetite control, GLP-1 medications improve how your body uses insulin and manages glucose. This supports better metabolic balance, which plays a major role in weight regulation. By addressing both hunger signaling and metabolic function, GLP-1 therapies create a powerful foundation for steady, sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle habits.
How Are Glp-1 Medications Administered?
GLP-1 weight loss medications are administered as a simple, once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The medication is delivered just beneath the skin using a small, fine needle, similar to insulin injections, and is quick and easy to perform. Most patients can self-administer their injections at home after proper instruction from the JOLI Medispa team.
Your treatment plan begins with a medical evaluation to determine the appropriate medication and starting dose. Dosages are adjusted over time to optimize results while minimizing potential side effects. Throughout your program, our providers monitor your progress and make recommendations to help ensure safe, comfortable, and effective weight loss.
Are Glp-1 Weight Loss Medications Safe?
GLP-1 weight loss medications are safe for most patients when prescribed and monitored by medical professionals. At JOLI Medispa, these treatments are part of a medically supervised program that includes thorough evaluations, personalized dosing, and ongoing oversight to support both safety and effectiveness for patients in Covington and Northshore.
Like all prescription medications, GLP-1 therapies may cause side effects. The most common effects are mild to moderate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, along with injection site irritation. To reduce discomfort, we gradually increase your dosage and closely track your response, making adjustments as needed to ensure a comfortable experience.

Your GLP-1 journey begins with an initial consultation and lab review to evaluate your overall health and determine if treatment is appropriate. Approximately two weeks before your appointment, you will receive a lab order to establish baseline health markers. During your $150 consultation, our medical providers carefully review your results, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.

A $40 shipping fee applies for home delivery of your medication. All pricing is reviewed transparently during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Follow-up Appointments
Follow-up appointments at JOLI Medispa play an important role in ensuring your GLP-1 weight loss program remains safe and effective. During these visits, our team reviews your progress, evaluates how your body is responding, and adjusts your dosage when necessary. You will also have the opportunity to discuss any side effects, challenges, or questions along the way.
