Little Rock, AR—Cosmetic Surgery Center in Little Rock is excited to announce the introduction of weight loss injections with semaglutide and tirzepatide to their range of aesthetic and functional wellness services. Administered under the care of nurse practitioner Crystal Marcussen, APRN, WHNP-BC, MNSc, BSN, these cutting-edge treatments are designed to help patients achieve significant and sustainable weight loss by targeting appetite regulation and enhancing metabolic function.
“We are thrilled to offer these advanced weight loss solutions to our patients,” said Dr. Rhys Branman, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon and the founder of Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery. “Our highly qualified Nurse Practitioner, Crystal Marcussen, works closely with our patients receiving weight loss injections long-term to provide a safe, effective way for those struggling with weight management to finally achieve their goals.”
Semaglutide, often referred to as weight loss injections or by the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy, is an FDA-approved medication that mimics natural hormones in the body to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, these injections help reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier for patients to follow a reduced-calorie diet.
“Our goal is to support our patients throughout their weight loss journey,” Marcussen said. “By offering these injections, we provide a powerful tool to help them achieve and maintain a healthier weight. This can also enhance the outcomes of other cosmetic procedures they may be considering with Dr. Branman.”
Patients undergoing treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide can expect a comprehensive weight loss program tailored to their individual needs. The treatment involves regular injections, lifestyle and dietary counseling, and continuous monitoring by the medical team at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery. Most patients begin to see noticeable weight loss within a few weeks, with more significant results over the course of several months.
Weight loss injections offer several benefits that collectively enhance a patient's health and well-being. They effectively control appetite, helping to reduce cravings and overall calorie intake, which is crucial for successful weight management. This leads to sustained weight loss, promoting long-term weight maintenance and stability. Additionally, these injections improve metabolic health by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing the risk of diabetes. Patients often experience increased energy levels, which supports improved physical activity and overall vitality. Furthermore, the resultant weight loss can significantly enhance the quality of life, leading to better mobility, decreased joint pain, and improved mental health.
“We serve patients in a genuine and holistic manner, also helping them to plan a nutrient-dense diet full of healthy sources of protein and vegetables,” said Marcussen. “Weight loss truly is a perfect opportunity for adopting improved health habits. This can mean a variety of things and we want to help you find what works for your lifestyle.”
According to board certified physician Dr. Branman, weight loss injections can make dropping pounds far easier. “Compared to traditional methods of diet and exercise, semaglutide and tirzepatide are more effective because they directly influence the body's hormonal pathways that control hunger and metabolism,” he said.
While diet and exercise rely on self-discipline and lifestyle changes, which can be challenging to maintain long-term, these medications provide a physiological foundation that supports sustained weight loss. Clinical studies have shown that patients using these medications experience more significant and consistent weight reduction than those relying solely on lifestyle modifications. This makes semaglutide injections a powerful tool in the fight against obesity, offering hope for those who have struggled with “yo-yo” dieting and traditional weight loss methods.
