Peptide Therapy
In Newport Beach, CA
Peptide therapy is one of the most talked about topics in wellness right now, and most of the questions we hear are the same two: what do peptides actually do, and which ones can you get in a medical setting? At Muguet Aesthetics in Newport Beach, the peptide therapy we offer is GLP-1, a medically supervised treatment used to support weight management. If you are researching peptides for weight loss, our GLP-1 program is the right place to start.
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the body, signaling cells to carry out specific tasks. Different peptides do very different things, and only a small number are FDA approved for use in a clinical setting. GLP-1, short for glucagon-like peptide-1, is one of them. It is the peptide with the strongest clinical evidence behind it for appetite regulation and weight management, and it is the one we offer.

Benefits of GLP-1
- Appetite Regulation: GLP-1 acts on the pathways that signal fullness, which can make portion control and consistent eating habits easier to keep up.
- Support for Weight Management: Alongside changes to nutrition and activity, GLP-1 is prescribed to support gradual, sustained weight loss.
- Medical Oversight: Dosing is set and adjusted by Kat Mohammadi, R.N., with check-ins along the way rather than a one-time prescription.
- An Evidence-Based Option: Of the many peptides discussed online, GLP-1 receptor agonists are among the few with substantial clinical research and FDA approval behind them.
- Individual Results Vary: GLP-1 is a prescription medication and is not appropriate for everyone. A medical consultation determines whether it is a fit for you.
The Peptide Therapy We Offer: GLP-1
Rather than offering a broad menu of peptides, we focus on the one that is FDA approved and well studied. GLP-1 receptor agonists were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes and are now widely used to support appetite regulation and weight management under medical supervision.

FAQS
1. Is GLP-1 a peptide?
Yes. GLP-1, short for glucagon-like peptide-1, is a peptide hormone your body already produces. The medications used in our program are GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic it. GLP-1 is the peptide therapy we offer at Muguet. You can read the full overview on our GLP-1 Treatments page.
2. How long does it take to see results with GLP-1?
Timelines differ from person to person. Most patients start at a low dose that is increased gradually, and a change in appetite is often noticed before a change on the scale. Individual results vary.
3. Is GLP-1 therapy safe?
GLP-1 receptor agonists are FDA approved and have been studied extensively, but they are prescription medications with possible side effects and they are not right for everyone. That is why every program begins with a medical consultation and continues with monitoring.
4. Who is a good candidate for GLP-1?
Adults looking for medically supervised support with weight management may be candidates. Your health history, current medications and goals all factor in. A consultation with Kat Mohammadi, R.N., determines suitability.
