5 Pharmacological effects of GIP, GLP-1 and their mimetics The pharmacological benefits of GIP, GLP-1, and their synthetic mimetics arise from their pleiotropic effects, encompassing at least five key functions: bolstering insulin secretion and survival of pancreatic -cells and modulating glucagon release by the pancreatic -cells in response to glycemic levels, acting on the satiety center in brain, slowing gastric emptying, regulating lipid and glucose metabolism through effects on adipose tissue and liver, and reducing systemic blood pressure
However, even small increases in GLP-1 levels achieved by enhanced secretion or slowed degradation can have significant effects on glucose homeostasis, appetite regulation, and gastrointestinal motility
Common Concerns After GLP-1 Weight Loss Rapid weight loss can reduce fat volume and skin elasticity faster than the body can adapt, leading to concerns such as: Facial hollowing or a tired, aged appearance (Ozempic face) Loose or sagging skin of the face, neck, arms, abdomen, or thighs Deflated breasts or changes in breast shape Loss of body contour and definition Crepey or lax skin texture Our approach focuses on restoring volume, tightening skin, and refining contours, while maintaining natural, balanced results
If you see language like GLP-1 support on packaging, proceed with caution
Patients whose goal is to limit skin elasticity loss during weight loss will see different outcomes than those attempting to reverse significant laxity that has already developed
