Frequently Asked Questions

What are Wegovy® and Zepbound®?

Wegovy® and Zepbound® are GLP-1 receptor agonists, medications created to help manage blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. They are now highly effective tools for weight loss, helping reduce appetite and support healthier eating habits.
These treatments mimic a natural hormone called GLP-1 (and, in the case of Zepbound®, also GIP), which slows digestion, reduces hunger, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. The result is fewer cravings, smaller portions, and less constant “food noise.”
The “Ozempic face” refers to the facial volume loss and gaunt appearance that can occur during rapid weight loss. The same can happen in the buttocks and other areas prone to fat reduction. This typically occurs when rapid weight loss is undertaken without proper support for the skin and muscles, or when inadequate protein and exercise are employed. At Icon Aesthetics in Parkersburg, WV, we help minimize this by promoting steady progress, optimizing protein intake, incorporating strength training, and offering skin and facial support treatments to keep you looking healthy and refreshed.
On average, patients may lose 15–25% of their body weight over six to twelve months when treatment is paired with lifestyle changes. Results vary, but long-term success is most effectively achieved when these medications are combined with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and the formation of healthy habits.
The most common side effects are digestive, including nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. These often improve as the body adjusts to them. Rare but more serious risks include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. To minimize side effects, we start at a low dose and gradually increase it over time.
Yes. Wegovy® and Zepbound® are powerful tools, but they work best as part of a comprehensive program. At Icon Aesthetics, we combine GLP-1 therapy with protein-rich, high-fiber meal plans, movement routines focused on fat loss and strength, SMART goal setting, gut health optimization, and personalized coaching. Our goal is to establish sustainable habits that endure long after treatment.
Without lasting lifestyle changes, weight regain is common after stopping GLP-1 therapy. Our program is designed to help reset metabolism, strengthen nutrition habits, and build long-term strategies so that your progress is sustainable.
These treatments are typically recommended for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure or prediabetes. During your consultation at our Parkersburg, WV location, we’ll review your medical history and goals to determine if treatment is suitable for you. In some cases, patients who do not meet the minimum BMI can still benefit, provided there are no contraindications present.
Yes. Wegovy® is FDA-approved for weight loss, and Zepbound® has also received FDA approval specifically for obesity treatment, in addition to its use for diabetes management.
Yes, and it’s a significant concern. Research indicates that as much as 40% of the weight lost with GLP-1 therapies can be attributed to lean muscle if nutrition and exercise are not addressed. That’s why our program emphasizes protecting muscle mass with protein-rich meals (approximately 1g/kg of ideal body weight), resistance training for large muscle groups, and monitoring body composition. Preserving muscle not only supports a healthy appearance but also helps maintain a strong metabolism, improved mobility, and a healthy weight.
