Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Skinny Shots in Beverly Hills
There is a reason there are so many diets, home exercise equipment, gyms, and trainers out there: weight loss is hard and sustained weight loss is exceedingly difficult. The most common reason for failure to lose weight is hunger and falling back into the psychological habits we have with eating food. GM Plastic Surgery now offers a supervised weight loss program using the latest and best in pharmacologic technology: GLP-1 analogue Semaglutide, and the GLP-1 and GIP analogue Tirzepatide. These medications have a proven track record of significant and sustained weight loss. What sets us apart from the others is our deep commitment to your sustained success in weight loss and keeping the weight off!
How do these medications work?
These medications mimic hormones made in your intestine after you eat to signal to your brain that you are full. In addition, these medications have positive effects on bone density, fat resorption, metabolism, gut motility, cardio-protective effects, and the brain. They were initially FDA-approved for diabetes but were also found to have profound effects on body weight, appetite, and even addictions. The FDA has now approved them for weight loss too. Using our program, you will lose weight quickly and easily, no longer struggling with an insatiable appetite or slow weight loss.
Semaglutide versus Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist (look-alike), which is a molecule produced in our gut that sends signals to our brain, muscles, fat, pancreas, and liver. Tirzepatide is also a GLP-1 agonist, but additionally is a GIP agonist, another gut hormone. Tirzepatide is more effective at curbing appetite, which translates into greater weight loss, and with fewer side effects.
The Benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Significant weight loss. These medications allow for real weight loss that you will see in your body’s transformation to a leaner you.
Improved overall body health. Along with weight loss, your body will experience lower blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol and lipid levels, and improved mental focus with less addictive thought patterns.
Non-invasive technology. All of these benefits are derived from the medication without surgery or the need for recovery and risk of complications.

Professionally Guided Weight Loss FAQ
How is Dr. Minniti’s weight loss program different from other Semaglutide or Tirzepatide clinics?
Dr. Minniti offers a professionally guided medical weight loss program, personally evaluates your health, adjusts your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide dose, and monitors your progress to help you lose weight safely and keep it off in the long term.
Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide FDA-approved for weight loss?
Yes. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide were first approved to treat diabetes, and are now FDA-approved for chronic weight management when prescribed and supervised by a qualified physician.
Am I a candidate for medically supervised weight loss with “skinny shots”?
You may be a candidate if you struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, have a BMI typically above 26, are not diabetic, and do not have a history of thyroid cancer or significant pancreatic disease.
How much weight can I expect to lose with this program?
Results vary, but many patients lose a significant percentage of their body weight over several months with weekly weight loss injections, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support from Dr. Minniti’s team.
Will I regain weight after stopping Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Without lifestyle changes, some weight regain is possible, which is why Dr. Minniti focuses on building sustainable eating and exercise habits during treatment so you can maintain your results after the injections stop.
Are there side effects to GLP-1 weight loss injections?
Common side effects can include nausea, stomach upset, or constipation, which are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts; your dose is carefully titrated to minimize side effects and protect your overall health.
Do I need blood work or ongoing monitoring during the program?
Yes. As part of professionally guided weight loss in Beverly Hills, you’ll have an initial medical evaluation and periodic follow-ups so Dr. Minniti can review your labs, track your body metrics, and adjust your treatment plan.
Can this weight loss program help me prepare for plastic surgery or body contouring?
Absolutely. Many patients use Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to reduce weight before procedures like body lift, liposuction, or tummy tuck, which can improve surgical outcomes and lower complication risks.
