Semaglutide

New Weight Loss Injections

Semaglutide is an injectable weight loss medication for those who are overweight or obese. It works by helping to regulate blood sugar levels with an easy, weekly injection treatment. Semaglutide can help you regulate your appetite and slows down gastric emptying.

If you’re looking to get healthier and look better long-term, Semaglutide might be for you. Many of today’s short-term weight loss medications may provide results for a few weeks or months, but are not an effective tool for lifelong weight management.

How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide, originally called Ozempic®, was previously used just to manage type-2 diabetes—thus why it works via moderating blood sugar. Now, it has been re-designed as a weight loss tool. It is a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection that mimics glucagon (GLP-1). This is a peptide hormone so you feel fuller quicker and longer after eating. The combination of speeding up the release of GLP-1 while simultaneously slowing down gastric emptying can be the key to feeling satiated longer, reducing the risk of overeating or snacking.

Plus, Semaglutide enhances insulin secretion that is glucose-dependent from the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that minimizes blood sugars, which then decreases bodily fat production. When you’re producing less fat, you’re going to lose weight faster.

What To Expect

Are Semaglutide injections FDA-Approved?

Yes, the injections are FDA-approved and customized for every patient. Patients will be eased into the medication. This allows the body to acclimate to Semaglutide. As the body adjusts, the doses increases, continuing until the goal weight is reached.

What about diet and exercise while on Semaglutide?

Semaglutide complements a healthy diet and exercise regimen. It does not replace it. You may enjoy some results while taking this injection without proper diet and exercise, but you will be healthier while reaching your goal weight quicker with all three approaches: Semaglutide, diet, and exercise.

Can Semaglutide be an alternative for plastic surgery like liposuction?

Possibly! Liposuction is a surgical procedure that “vacuums” out fat. It comes with all of the risks and recovery time of surgery, and removing a lot of fat quickly can cause sagging skin. Semaglutide may be an alternative to liposuction for many patients who want to avoid anesthesia, incisions, surgical risks, and downtime.
