What are Weight Loss Injections?
Semaglutide is a new weight loss medication that can help you more easily stick to your diet. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 agonists and works by introducing more of a natural hormone responsible for helping you feel full. Regular injections can allow you to reduce your food intake and see noticeable changes in your body weight. It’s currently one of the most popular medications for patients looking to lose and keep off weight.

Semaglutide is recommended for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure. Our team will thoroughly review your medical history to determine if semaglutide is a good choice for your weight loss goals.
What to Expect During the Procedure
You’ll begin by meeting with our team and discussing your health goals at length. We’ll go over the details of semaglutide and how it can fit into your weight loss plan. We can also help you develop a diet and exercise regimen to support your results and ensure you’re getting the activity and nutrients you need to support your body throughout its transformation.
You’ll be given a supply of semaglutide, which involves a self-injection at home. You’ll do this weekly and gradually raise your dosage until you find the right one. Semaglutide typically takes a few months to show meaningful weight loss, and our team will give you a realistic timeline of when you can expect to see results. Throughout, you’ll check in with our team to celebrate your victories and ensure you’re sticking to your plan.
Aftercare
Our team will help you determine how long you remain on semaglutide – this is different for each patient. It’s common to experience side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, cramps, constipation, and more. Keep in mind that these are typically only experienced when you first start using the medication and fade over time as you become adjusted to your ideal dose.
While semaglutide can help you lose weight, it won’t prevent you from regaining weight. Our team will help you make small, sustainable changes to your lifestyle so you can more easily prevent weight gain and enjoy your confidence-boosting results.
