FAQ
GLP-1 Weight Loss Injections (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide)
How do GLP-1 medications help with weight loss?
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone that helps regulate blood sugar, reduce appetite, and slow digestion — helping you feel full longer and make healthier choices more easily.
Will I lose muscle while on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
You can if you don’t eat enough protein. We recommend 100–120 grams of protein daily and staying active to preserve lean muscle while the scale moves down.
What should I eat while taking a GLP-1?
Aim for 4–6 small balanced meals daily that include lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs. Skipping meals can stall your metabolism and cause fatigue or hair loss.
What are the most important habits to support my results?
Hydration, sleep (7–9 hours), daily movement, and stress management. Your injection is a tool — but your habits make the transformation permanent.
What can I combine with my peptide therapy to enhance results
Popular add-ons include NAD⁺ injections, B-Complex or Lipo-MIC shots, and CryoSkin or EMS body contouring to support energy, fat metabolism, and muscle tone.
Botox & Dysport
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are FDA-approved neuromodulators that smooth wrinkles by relaxing muscles. Dysport spreads slightly more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead; Botox gives precise control in smaller areas.
How long do results last?
Typically 3–4 months, depending on dose, metabolism, and muscle strength.
How soon will I see results?
Most clients see visible results in 3–7 days, with full results by 2 weeks.
Will I look “frozen”?
Not at all — our injectors use conservative, artistic dosing to maintain natural expression while softening lines.
How many units do I need?
Common ranges:
-
Forehead: 15–20 units
-
Glabella (11s): 20 units
-
Crow’s feet: 12–24 units
A personalized dose is determined during consultation.
Biostimulators (Sculptra & Radiesse)
What’s a biostimulator and how is it different from filler?
Unlike traditional fillers that add immediate volume, biostimulators trigger your skin to produce new collagen, improving structure, firmness, and contour over time.
How long do results last?
Sculptra and Radiesse can last 1.5–2 years or longer as your body continues to build collagen.
When will I see improvement?
You’ll notice gradual tightening and lift over 4–12 weeks, with continued improvement for months.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes — biostimulators pair beautifully with microneedling RF, and tox or filler for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling
What’s the difference between traditional microneedling and RF microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries that trigger collagen. RF microneedling (like Morpheus8) adds radiofrequency energy for deeper tightening and skin remodeling.
What skin issues does each treat best?
-
Microneedling: texture, mild scars, enlarged pores, overall glow.
-
Morpheus8: skin laxity, deep lines, jowls, acne scars, stretch marks.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients do 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
What’s the downtime?
Microneedling: 1–3 days of mild redness.
Morpheus8: 3–5 days of redness/swelling; makeup after 24 hours.
Peptide Therapy & Wellness Support
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as cellular messengers — signaling the body to heal, regenerate, or optimize functions like metabolism, sleep, libido, and skin repair.
What conditions do peptides help with?
Weight loss (GLP-1s), energy (NAD⁺, MOTS-C), tissue repair (BPC-157), skin and hair rejuvenation (GHK-Cu), muscle and sleep support (CJC-1295, Sermorelin).
Are peptides safe?
Yes, when prescribed and monitored by licensed providers and sourced from FDA-compliant U.S. compounding pharmacies — like all products used at Destin Weight Loss & Wellness.
How soon do peptides start working?
Some act within days (energy, appetite), while others build over weeks to months (collagen, metabolism, muscle tone).
