We are committed to providing personalized care to help you achieve and, more importantly, maintain your weight and health goals.
What are the benefits of Semaglutide for weight loss?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone GLP-1 to reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, which leads to lower caloric intake. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, this injectable medication can result in substantial weight loss. Clinical studies have shown that patients can lose an average of 10-15% of their body weight over a year. Other benefits of Semaglutide include:
- Improved blood sugar control and reduced blood pressure
- Lowered cholesterol levels and decreased inflammation
- Enhanced commitment to a healthier lifestyle and more sustainable weight management
- Convenient once-weekly dosage that can be self-administered at home
What to expect with Semaglutide treatment
Semaglutide is administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Patients are taught how to self-administer the injection, which makes the process convenient and manageable. If you miss a dose and your next scheduled dose is more than two days away, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if your next dose is less than two days away, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up doses to make up for a missed one, as this could lead to unwanted side effects.
Results from Semaglutide treatment usually begin to appear within the first few weeks, with significant changes often seen after 8 to 12 weeks. Several factors can influence how quickly and effectively Semaglutide works, including your metabolism, adherence to the medication schedule, and lifestyle choices such as diet and exercise. Patients with higher metabolic rates or those who maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine tend to see quicker and more substantial results. To boost the effectiveness of Semaglutide, follow a comprehensive weight management plan that includes balanced nutrition, physical activity, and proper hydration.
