What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide medication proven to aid weight loss through a once-weekly injection. It belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 RAs, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. These types of medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone, a hormone involved in the digestive process and insulin response. Although semaglutide has been in use for over 15 years as a way to treat type-2 diabetes, it has recently been utilized to manage weight and aid patients in the weight loss process.

In clinical studies, semaglutide has shown significant promise as a way to reduce excess weight, with patients using semaglutide achieving at least a 5% reduction in weight. In fact, some studies have shown as much as 6% weight reduction at 3 months of use and 11% weight reduction at 6 months. With semaglutide, you can more effectively reduce your weight and see noticeable results from your medical diet and exercise regimen.

Who is a Candidate for Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is indicated for patients who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or who have a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Some medical conditions may indicate that you should avoid semaglutide. Our providers will take a detailed medical history and determine whether this option is ideal for your weight loss efforts.

How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone in the digestive system. There are two results of this process – firstly, GLP-1 plays a role in producing insulin and reducing blood sugar levels after eating. Secondly, GLP-1 interacts with the brain and digestive system to signal feelings of fullness, reducing your food intake. By supplementing GLP-1 and promoting feelings of satisfaction in the digestive system, it can allow you to more easily stick to your diet and reduce weight. As a result of this process, semaglutide is also associated with a reduction in weight-related risks like cancer, diabetes, or heart disease in people who are overweight or obese.

About Semaglutide Application

Semaglutide is a once-weekly injection that you administer to yourself at home. Your provider will prescribe a supply of doses and regularly check in to ensure that you see results from your diet and exercise efforts. Over the following weeks and months, you may begin to see noticeable changes in your weight.

Expected Results from Semaglutide

Semaglutide may take at least eight weeks of consistent use to begin producing results. When used for several months along with daily activity and eating nutritious foods, it can cause weight loss of 5% or more of your body weight, helping you reduce your risk of weight-related conditions. Our providers can give you a better estimate of what results you can expect from semaglutide when paired with an effective diet and exercise regimen.
