At MKE Aesthetics & Wellness, Dr. Kenneth Byom and his team offer semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, revolutionary, science-backed tools that help your body work more efficiently toward your weight loss goals. These medications help regulate appetite, control blood sugar levels, and improve metabolism, all under careful medical supervision. If you've struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise, you may have been fighting your own biology. Hormonal resistance, metabolic dysfunction, and powerful hunger signals can make sustained weight loss nearly impossible without medical support. Patients often report significantly fewer cravings and steady, sustained weight loss, with many achieving 15 to 20% body weight reduction in clinical studies.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a natural hormone produced in the gut that regulates appetite and food intake. Administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, semaglutide slows stomach emptying, increases feelings of satiety, and significantly reduces hunger and cravings. Clinical trials indicate an average weight loss of approximately 15% of initial body weight.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide targets two hormones simultaneously: GLP-1 and GIP. This dual-action mechanism provides more potent appetite suppression and glucose regulation than semaglutide alone. In clinical trials, some participants lost up to 20% of their initial body weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Both are once-weekly injectable medications. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, while tirzepatide acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Clinical trials suggest tirzepatide may produce greater weight loss.
How are the injections administered?
Both are given as subcutaneous injections, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Most patients self-administer at home after instruction.
What side effects can I expect?
Common side effects include nausea, mild fatigue, or changes in bowel habits, particularly when starting or increasing the dose. These typically fade as the body adjusts.
How long will I take the injections?
Treatment duration varies. Some patients use them for several months; others continue on a maintenance dose long-term.
Am I a good candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you have a BMI of 30+ (or 27+ with weight-related health conditions) and have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone.
What results can I realistically expect?
Most patients experience meaningful appetite reduction within the first few weeks and consistent weight loss over 3–6 months. Clinical averages suggest 15–20% body weight reduction.
