Weight Loss

At PureLife Medi-Spa, we believe weight loss is far more than a body image issue, it’s a major health issue. The benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight include lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels; joint pain relief; sounder sleep and a reduced risk of developing sleep apnea; a strong sex drive and a reduced risk for developing major health conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes and dementia. Plus, a healthy weight and lifestyle can help boost your chances for career success and promotion, as well as an active and satisfying social life. 

We offer two excellent options for shedding those extra pounds under the guidance of our experienced weight loss clinicians.

Semaglutide

A study of almost 2000 people published in February 2021 has shown that a new, once-a-week weight loss injection can help patients with obesity significantly reduce their body weight and improve their health alongside a healthy diet. The study, undertaken by University College London, found that 32% of people who took semaglutide were able to reduce their overall body weight by 20%, in just 15 months when accompanied by a healthy weight loss diet.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an injectable weight loss medication that works on the appetite receptors in the brain to reduce feelings of hunger and cravings. The injection imitates GLP1 – a naturally occurring hormone in your body – which is released after you eat and indicates to your brain that you are full.

These medications also work to slow the emptying of your stomach, which leads to feelings of fullness for longer after you have eaten. Prior to this trial, semaglutide was used for the purposes of treating those with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control in adults.

Advantages of semaglutide include its robust and sustained effects on glucose levels and weight loss.

Improved Blood Sugar Regulation

LIPOPLEX B12 INJECTIONS

Lipo-Plex injections are a combination of Vitamin B-12 and lipotropics, which are nutrients that help prevent fat accumulation in the liver, and usually helps detoxify metabolic wastes and toxins. Lipotropics nutrients also assist in breaking down fat in your body so it is removed as waste. The injections will help stimulate lecithin creation within your liver and this will ultimately convert more cholesterol to liquid instead of it being in your bloodstream. If your liver is fatty, then it will not complete its tasks as quickly as it should. This will lead to a slower metabolism. In order to speed up your liver you will need to minimize the amount of fat that it stores. This can be done with lipotropic injections.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production. B-12 is not easily absorbed through the digestive system. This is why many find B-12 shots effective energy boosters. Through cobalamin (B-12), injections can energize the body and release anti-stress elements, it is well known that vitamin B12 injections are used successfully in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. Lipo-Plex injections contain:

  • Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is a vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. It is one of the eight B vitamins. It is normally involved in the metabolism of every cell of the body, especially affecting DNA synthesis and regulation, but also fatty acid synthesis and energy production.
  • Hydroxocobalamin (long acting Vitamin B-12)
  • Choline serves various functions in our bodies in the structure of cell membranes, protecting our livers from accumulating fat, and more. Choline may be essential not only for brain development, but may help prevent memory loss associated with aging. It has been shown to protect the liver from certain types of damage, and can help reverse damage that has already occurred. Additionally, it may help lower cholesterol and homocysteine levels associated with cardiovascular disease, and may also help protect against some types of cancers.
  • Inositol is involved in a number of biological processes, including, Insulin signal transduction, nerve guidance, cell membrane activity, Serotonin activity, the breakdown of fats, and reducing blood cholesterol.
  • Methionine is an essential, sulfur-containing amino acid. It is the source of sulfur for numerous compounds in the body. The body uses sulfur to influence hair follicles and promote healthy hair, skin, and nail growth. Sulfur also increases the liver’s production of lecithin (which reduces cholesterol), reduces liver fat, protects the kidneys, helps the body to excrete heavy metals, and reduces bladder irritation by regulating the formation of ammonia in the urine.
  • Pyridoxine (Vitamin B-6) assists in the balancing of sodium and potassium as well as promoting red blood cell production. It is linked to cardiovascular health. Pyridoxine may help balance hormonal changes in women and aid the immune system.
  • Dexpanthenol (Vitamin B-5) is quickly oxidized to Pantothenic acid and is essential to the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as for the synthesis of hormones and cholesterol.
