Several methods are introduced to increase the half-life of GLP-1 including: (i) modifying peptides to make them resistant to cleavage by DPP-4, such as exenatide twice daily and lixisenatide, (ii) attaching free fatty acid side chains to liraglutide and semaglutide, which enhances their binding to plasma albumin thereby preventing renal filtration of GLP-1 and prolonging their action in vivo [36, 37], (iii) conjugation of albumin or the Fc fragment of IgG to GLP-1 molecule is used in albiglutide and dulaglutide [37, 38], (iv) development of modified nanoparticles for the controlled release of exenatide-LAR (long-acting release) that provide prolonged release of the peptide [39], and finally, (v) chemical permeation enhancers such as sodium salcaprozate (SNAC) could be utilized to overcome the low permeability and high enzymatic degradation of the gastrointestinal tract of GLP-1 analog that is administrated orally such as semaglutide [40]

Patients with obesity who want a more durable solution, who qualify for bariatric surgery, or who are concerned about the long-term cost and sustainability of GLP-1 medications may want to consider gastric sleeve
Altering the diet to include Zin-rich food like oysters and spinach can support healthy hair growth
The best results come from consistent treatmentsusually once or twice a week for 8-12 weeks, then maintenance treatments monthly
