Semaglutide Injections for medical weight loss

Benefits Of Semaglutide Injections For Weight Loss (Ozempic Or Wegovy)

 

Semaglutide is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (glp-1) receptor agonists that acts on the brain, pancreas and GI system to help with satiety and gastric absorption of food.  There have been many clinical studies that show Semaglutide as an effective weight loss solution and has recently been FDA approved for this purpose.  Patients can expect:

  • Decreased appetite

  • Improved blood sugar control

  • Increased fat loss

  • Lower risk of certain health conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol

While Semaglutide is a reliable long-term weight management solution, we believe it works best as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

​

Administration

You will be given premeasured Semaglutide injections for weekly administration on a monthly basis.  There are specific injection sites on the body for this medication. Semaglutide shots are typically given as a shot under the skin of the stomach, thighs, or upper arms. It is a good idea to use a different body area each time you give yourself the injection. You will be provided demonstration and directions in detail to ensure you are comfortable with self administration. 

Semaglutide Side Effects

As with any medical treatment, Semaglutide may cause common side effects, but they’re usually not serious:

  • Abdominal pain

  • Headache

  • Low blood sugar

  • Constipation

  • Fatigue

  • Nausea

  • Vomiting

  • Diarrhea

  • Dizziness

  • Hair loss

  • Acid Reflux

For most people, the symptoms are mild and improve over time with the right administration, diet and exercise.  You can minimize potential side effects by:

  • decreasing alcohol consumption

  • eating small meals

  • not lying down right after eating

  • try to avoid greasy food

  • taking the injections as directed

Semaglutide Results

Semaglutide results don’t show overnight and vary between clients. It’s essential to have realistic expectations and administer the shots as directed by your provider. By sticking to your treatment plan and practicing a healthy lifestyle, you’ll get an impressive transformation.  Generally, most clients will see a 15% reduction in their body weight. It's encouraged to eat clean and balanced meals and move your body every day to maximize the injection’s benefits.

It’s helpful for patients to track their progress with before and after pictures. These provide a visual representation of how the treatment is affecting your body over time. This can also be a fantastic way to stay motivated and on track with your weight loss goals!
