New to GLP-1 therapy? Read the full guide to medical weight loss in Newport Beach — how GLP-1 medications work, what to expect month by month, and who they're appropriate for — before starting.
Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy, managed personally by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, MD.
GLP-1 medications work on appetite regulation and metabolic signaling rather than stimulant effects. This is prescription medical care, not a wellness product — which means dosing is titrated to your response, side effects are managed as they arise, and progress is monitored over time.
Low Dose — starting point for most patients. Lower dosing reduces the nausea and GI effects that cause people to quit in the first month.
Medium Dose — for patients continuing therapy after tolerating the starting dose, or transitioning from another provider.
What's included: physician consultation and medical history review · prescription and medication · dose titration based on your response · ongoing monitoring and side-effect management.
Worth knowing before you start: meaningful weight loss commonly causes facial volume loss — sometimes called "Ozempic face." Planning for it early is easier than correcting it later. More on GLP-1 facial volume loss →
Dr. Mortazavi will tell you at consultation whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you, and will say so if it isn't.
