What is GLP-1 Medical Weight Loss?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are prescription medications that mimic a naturally occurring hormone regulating blood sugar and appetite. By slowing digestion and increasing fullness, GLP-1 therapy helps reduce calorie intake and promotes gradual, sustainable
weight loss. SVIA Medspa in Los Gatos and San Mateo offers Ozempic® and Zepbound™, FDA-approved options administered through a simple weekly injection.

What to Expect During GLP-1 Treatment
