Sculpt & Slim:
GLP-1 Weight Loss
Science-backed. Physician-supervised. ✦
You've been doing everything right — and your body just won't cooperate. That's not a willpower problem. That's biology. GLP-1 medications work with your metabolism, not against it, to help you finally see the results your effort deserves.

How It Works
Your metabolism —
finally on your side
GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic a hormone your gut naturally produces after eating. They signal your brain that you're satisfied, slow digestion, and regulate blood sugar — creating the conditions where weight loss happens naturally, not forcefully.
At Aura, we prescribe, dose, and monitor your program under physician supervision. This isn't a vending machine approach — it's a personalized medical protocol built around your body, your history, and your goals.
Two medications.
Both extraordinary.
We offer both GLP-1 options at Aura. Which one is right for you depends on your health history, weight loss goals, and how your body responds. We'll guide you to the right choice at consultation.
The original breakthrough. Semaglutide mimics the GLP-1 hormone to suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying, and regulate blood sugar. It's been studied extensively — and the results speak for themselves. A trusted starting point for most patients.
The next generation. Tirzepatide activates two receptors — GLP-1 and GIP — creating a dual hormonal effect that produces even greater appetite suppression and metabolic improvement. Often the choice for patients wanting the most advanced option available.
Your Journey
What this actually
looks like for you.
From your first conversation to the moment your clothes fit differently — here's every step of the Aura GLP-1 experience.
We start with a thorough consultation — your health history, current medications, weight goals, and lifestyle. Our physician reviews everything before any prescription is written. This isn't a formality; it's how we ensure GLP-1 therapy is the right fit and determine which medication is best suited to you specifically.
You'll start at the lowest dose — this is intentional. We titrate slowly over 16–20 weeks to let your body adjust and minimize side effects. Your dose increases are personalized to how your body is responding, not a generic schedule. Rushing is the number one reason people quit — we don't rush.
You're not handed a prescription and sent home. We check in regularly, track your progress, adjust your dose as needed, and address side effects proactively. Our team is genuinely invested in your results — because your results are ours too.
As the weight comes off, many patients want to tighten skin, refine contours, or restore facial volume. Aura is uniquely positioned here — microneedling, neurotoxin, and filler are all available alongside your weight loss program. We address the whole picture under one roof, at the right time.

Got Questions?
The questions everyone
is secretly googling
Most adults with a BMI of 27 or above — especially those with weight-related health concerns like blood sugar issues, high blood pressure, or joint pain — are strong candidates. We also work with patients who are simply struggling to lose stubborn weight despite consistent effort. Your consultation includes a full medical review to confirm you're a good fit, safely and honestly.
Both are GLP-1 medications, but tirzepatide adds a second mechanism — it also activates GIP receptors, creating a dual-hormone effect. Clinical trials showed tirzepatide produced greater average weight loss (up to 20%+ vs. around 15% for semaglutide). That said, semaglutide is highly effective and often the right starting point. We'll help you decide based on your goals and medical history.
GLP-1 medications are dosed in tiers — you start low and increase gradually over months. Higher doses require more medication, which affects the monthly cost. We're completely transparent about this from the start: we'll map out your projected dose schedule and estimated costs at your consultation so you can plan with full clarity. No surprises, ever.
The most common side effects are GI-related: nausea, mild bloating, or changes in appetite — especially during the first few weeks as your body adjusts. These typically settle as your dose stabilizes. This is exactly why we titrate slowly. Most patients find them manageable and temporary. We monitor you throughout and adjust if needed.
Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins by weeks 4–8, with the most significant changes between months 3–6. Results compound over time. This is a medical program, not a quick fix — but for patients who commit to it, the results are genuinely transformative.
Absolutely — and many of our patients do. As weight comes off, some experience changes in facial volume or skin laxity. We offer microneedling for skin tightening, dermal filler for volume restoration, and neurotoxin for a complete refresh. The advantage of being at Aura is that we can address your whole aesthetic picture — not just one piece of it.
GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide and tirzepatide) is prescription-only and requires medical supervision. All programs require a medical consultation and eligibility review before medication is prescribed. Individual results vary. Average weight loss statistics are based on clinical data and are not guaranteed for every individual. AURA Aesthetics & Med Spa follows all applicable medical and regulatory guidelines for compounded medications.
