GLP-1 Therapy in NYC
At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s regenerative aesthetics and longevity practice in New York City, GLP-1 therapy offers a science-backed, holistic approach to weight management and metabolic health. Rather than chasing quick fixes, Dr. Hazen’s program integrates GLP-1 medications into a comprehensive wellness plan designed to help patients achieve sustainable results - supporting both inner vitality and outer confidence.
GLP-1 receptor agonists (short for Glucagon-like Peptide-1) mimic a natural hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar, digestion, and appetite. When combined with balanced nutrition, exercise, and medical supervision, GLP-1 therapy can help patients experience meaningful improvements in energy, body composition, and overall well-being.
As part of Dr. Hazen’s Longevity Protocols, this treatment is tailored to each patient’s unique biology - bridging the connection between metabolic health, hormone balance, and regenerative skin vitality.
How GLP-1 Therapy Works
GLP-1 medications work by enhancing the body’s own metabolic rhythm. They help regulate insulin, slow digestion, and increase satiety, allowing patients to eat less without extreme restriction. Over time, this promotes steady weight loss while improving key metabolic markers.
Potential benefits of GLP-1 therapy include:
-
Improved appetite control and reduced cravings
-
Enhanced metabolic efficiency and insulin sensitivity
-
Sustainable weight management under medical guidance
-
Better energy, focus, and digestion
-
Long-term support for cardiovascular and metabolic health
Dr. Hazen performs a thorough consultation to determine candidacy for GLP-1 therapy and develops a personalized plan that integrates nutrition, movement, and other longevity treatments - such as NAD+ Infusions, Peptide Therapy, or Hormone Optimization - for total-body wellness.
What to Expect:
GLP-1 therapy is typically administered as a weekly injection under medical supervision. Progress is closely monitored to ensure optimal results and patient safety. Most patients notice improvements in appetite, energy, and overall well-being within the first few weeks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GLP-1 therapy uses medications that mimic a natural hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar, digestion, and appetite. It helps improve metabolic balance and support sustainable weight management.
What is GLP-1 therapy?
When prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical professional like Dr. Hazen, GLP-1 therapy is considered safe and effective. Every patient undergoes a personalized evaluation to ensure suitability and minimize potential side effects.
Is GLP-1 therapy safe?
Unlike stimulant-based or short-term weight loss options, GLP-1 therapy works by restoring natural metabolic signaling - helping the body find a healthier balance without extreme restriction or rebound effects.
How is GLP-1 different from other weight loss medications?
Your program begins with a detailed consultation and lab evaluation to assess metabolic health and hormone balance. Dr. Hazen then creates a custom protocol that may include lifestyle guidance and complementary longevity treatments for long-term success.
What can I expect during my GLP-1 program with Dr. Hazen?
Yes. Many patients pair GLP-1 therapy with NAD+ Therapy, Hormone Optimization, or Exosome Therapy for synergistic results that address energy, aging, and skin health from within.
Can GLP-1 therapy be combined with other treatments?
Most patients notice gradual changes in appetite and weight within the first few weeks. Sustainable improvements in energy, focus, and body composition develop over time with continued treatment.
How soon will I feel results?
Weight loss varies depending on metabolism, dosage, and lifestyle. Most patients under medical supervision lose 5–15% of their body weight over several months. Dr. Hazen emphasizes gradual, sustainable results - focusing on improved health, energy, and body composition rather than extreme or rapid loss.
How much weight do people typically lose with GLP-1 therapy?
Some patients experience mild, temporary symptoms such as nausea, bloating, or decreased appetite during the adjustment period. These effects usually resolve within a few weeks. Dr. Hazen monitors each patient closely to ensure safe, comfortable progress and provides guidance on nutrition and hydration to minimize discomfort.
Are there side effects with GLP-1 therapy?
The term “Ozempic Face” is a social-media myth. Rapid weight loss from any cause can make facial contours appear temporarily slimmer due to volume changes—not because the medication directly affects skin or fat distribution. Under Dr. Hazen’s care, patients receive integrated regenerative skin support - including treatments such as ExcelV+ Laser Treatments, Morpheus8, and Dermal Fillers -to maintain facial harmony and skin elasticity throughout the process.
What is “Ozempic Face,” and is it real?
Stay well hydrated and get ample rest - your body is rebuilding cellular energy. Supporting your results with clean nutrition, regular movement, and Hazen Essentials antioxidants can help sustain improved vitality and skin luminosity.
What should I do after NAD+ therapy?
Dr. Hazen combines medical expertise with a holistic approach to longevity and wellness. Her GLP-1 programs are personalized, physician-supervised, and integrated with nutrition, hormone, and regenerative therapies - ensuring safe, sustainable results that support both metabolic health and overall vitality.
