Weight Loss + HAIRCUT MEMBERSHIP

Yes. Long-term studies have been conducted on the extended use of tirzepatide (and the entire class of GLP-1 agonists) with very positive results. 

GLP-1s are a type of medication called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists that are regularly prescribed to patients interested in weight loss. GLP-1s have been FDA-approved and deemed safe and effective for managing a number of conditions, including weight management and type 2 diabetes, when taken as directed. GLP-1 medications come in pre-filled injector pens and are self-administered through subcutaneous injection. GLP-1s help with weight management in two ways:

• They slow down how quickly food leaves your stomach—making you feel full faster and satiated for longer
• They talk directly to the part of your brain in charge of feeling full—helping you regulate how much you eat

Tirzepatide is almost 44% more effective than semaglutide. According to the results of several studies, using tirzepatide resulted in a weight loss of 17.8% compared with 12.4% for semaglutide.

In the SURPASS-2 study, all doses of tirzepatide were superior to semaglutide. Also, the overall safety profile of tirzepatide was similar to that of semaglutide.

Separately. The member price for our weight loss program is $595 every 4 weeks. With this combo program we are offering the weight loss treatments at $552 per month and the GM membership at $43 per month. The combination of the two equals $595. This allows the weight loss membership to be recognized by our spa system, and the haircut membership to be recognized at our barber shops. It allows for the weight loss membership to be in the name of your significant other, if you wish. And finally, it means that after 12 months you will receive a complimentary 200-unit vial of tirzepatide (because you will use thirteen 200-unit vials in one year.) 

One you reach your goal weight, you can cancel your weight loss membership (without penalty) while your haircut membership will continue independently, until cancelled.

The safety and tolerability profile for tirzepatide is similar to other related drugs such as semaglutide and liraglutide. Tirzepatide side effects may include: Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting.

Additional study is ongoing and looking closely for other unanticipated adverse effects.  As of yet, there is no long term safety data on this drug.

Given the theoretical risk, tirzepatide should be avoided in those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Patients with a history of MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type-2) should also avoid tirzepatide. Contraindications for tirzepatide are thyroid cancer, acute kidney injury, pancreatitis, retinopathy, and severe GI disease. 

Chemically it is the same. Tirzepatide is the generic version of the name-brand drug Mounjaro. Similar to buying acetaminophen instead of Tylenol. The brand-name version of this drug is much more expensive than the generic version and is also only available through a primary care physician as a prescription for the treatment of diabetes. Using the generic version, while identical chemically, allows us to avoid contributing to the supply shortage of the name brand drug that is for diabetic patients only.

Our mission is to help people live their best lives. We want people to look and feel their very best. It is estimated that 40% of adult Americans are obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30. Studies (and our experience in our own spa) have shown Tirzepatide can help people lose as much as 20% of their body weight. If we can be a part of helping our patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight, we are excited to provide that service. It can be life-changing!

Like all medical treatments, results vary for every individual and cannot be guaranteed. Many factors contribute to the results a patient experiences. Some are outside of the patients' control, such as genetics, health history and more. Other variables are within the patients' control, such as exercise, what you eat, and using this treatment as a springboard to improving healthy habits. Every patient is different, but while we cannot guarantee results, we will do our part to teach you about how to use this treatment to set you up for success.
