At Dolce MD, we offer tirzepatide injections for weight loss management in Laguna Beach. With just one injection per week, you can curb cravings, stay fuller longer, and achieve real results!
What Are Tirzepatide Injections?
Tirzepatide is a weekly injection that regulates hunger and blood sugar by mimicking two key hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones help you feel satisfied after eating, curb cravings, and support steadier blood sugar.
In the U.S., tirzepatide is sold under the brand names Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound for weight loss and sleep apnea. Under medical guidance, it can lead to steady weight loss without the constant battle against cravings.
True health is not measured by the absence of symptoms but by the presence of vitality, joy, and purpose in everyday living

What to Expect With Our Laguna Beach CA Tirzepatide Weight Loss Program
1. Initial Consultation
At your first visit to our weight loss clinic in Laguna Beach, Dr. Sanguedolce reviews your medical history, goals, and lab results to see if tirzepatide is the right prescription for your weight loss needs.
2. Customized Weight Management Plan
We create a plan with a safe starting dose, lifestyle coaching, and realistic tracking. Your treatment also includes nutrition guidance and tips for building healthy habits alongside the medication.
3. Weekly Tirzepatide Injections
You’ll receive one tirzepatide injection per week. This medication helps reduce appetite, support insulin function, and keep you feeling full longer.
4. Regular Check-Ins and Adjustments
We monitor your progress closely. As your body adapts, we may adjust your dose to keep your results safe and steady.
5. Long-Term Weight Loss Support
Even after you hit your weight loss goals, we’re here to help you maintain them. We focus on sustainable changes and whole-body health, not quick fixes.
What Results Can You Expect with Tirzepatide Injection?
Clinical studies show that people taking tirzepatide lost up to 15%–22% of their body weight over several months when paired with lifestyle changes. That includes a drop in body fat, reduced BMI, and improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and overall wellness.
At Dolce MD, your progress is monitored closely. We adjust your dosing, track your labs, and make sure you’re losing weight in a way that’s safe, realistic, and sustainable for the long term.
Who Should Take Tirzepatide Treatment?
Tirzepatide treatment is suitable for adults who are struggling with weight and haven’t seen results from diet and exercise alone. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
- Have a health concern like insulin resistance, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
- Want medical assistance to reach weight loss goals
- Struggle with constant hunger, cravings, or emotional eating
- Are ready to follow a treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes
**Tirzepatide is not recommended if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have a history of certain endocrine conditions.**

My previous doctor has retired. I was pleasantly surprised by my visit with Dr. Sanguedolce. He answered all my questions, offered suggestions about my health care, did not rush me through the appointment to get to the next patient. He presents with confidence and knowledge as well as kindness, which I greatly appreciate in a doctor.

I had both in person visits and a telehealth visit with this provider. My experience has always been positive in terms of feeling as though I have a partner in my health care and communication has been good.
Linda K.
It’s incredibly useful for someone like me suffering from anxiety especially in public because the visit was from my phone. Also, at this time securing transportation is harder for me than it has been, making this modality of healthcare a real answer to prayer.
