Science-Backed Weight Loss Results

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide stimulates weight loss by suppressing appetite, slowing stomach emptying, and increasing insulin production. By imitating the hormone GLP-1, which is naturally produced in the intestines, semaglutide can decrease food intake and ultimately provide significant weight loss results.

Semaglutide Candidates

Semaglutide is a great option for those who are dealing with obesity or overweight issues, especially if previous weight loss efforts have been unsuccessful. This treatment isn’t suitable for everyone, however, and patients with a history of pancreatitis or certain cancers, those under 18 or over 75, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid using semaglutide.

Your First Step

Consultation and Preparation

Starting with a personalized consultation, our team will review your medical history, current health conditions, and previous weight loss efforts. We will also explain how semaglutide works, discuss potential benefits and risks and answer any questions you may have about the treatment process. Before starting treatment, we may also require lab tests to assess your baseline health metrics, such as blood sugar levels and kidney function.

Simple Solution For A Challenging Problem

What to Expect During Semaglutide Treatment

Typically self-administered at home on a weekly schedule, semaglutide treatment is a straightforward process designed to seamlessly blend into your lifestyle while providing effective weight loss results. To start, lower doses will be prescribed, gradually increasing over weeks and months. Regular check-ins with your provider will monitor progress and any side effects.

Change Is Here

Results and Aftercare

Results from semaglutide treatment typically begin to appear within the first few weeks, with noticeable changes in appetite and energy levels. Most patients achieve significant weight loss over the course of several months, with many seeing reductions of up to 20 percent or more of their total body weight by 6 to 12 months. The timeline and extent of results can vary based on individual factors like metabolism, adherence to the treatment plan, and lifestyle adjustments. Post-treatment, maintaining your results requires a balanced approach to diet, exercise, and regular medical follow-ups.

Your provider may recommend transitioning to a maintenance dose or exploring other supportive treatments to ensure long-term success. It’s crucial to avoid drastic changes in your eating habits or skipping follow-up appointments, as these could impact your progress. Downtime during semaglutide treatment is minimal since the medication is non-invasive and self-administered. Patients should monitor their response to the medication, avoiding high-sugar or high-fat meals that may exacerbate mild side effects like nausea. By following your provider’s guidance, you can enjoy sustained weight loss and improved overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Semaglutide treatments does it take to see results?

For most patients, some initial results can be seen within four to eight weeks but optimal results with a full dosage will likely not begin until around four months or more.

How long do Semaglutide results last?

Results with semaglutide last typically as long as the medication is being taken and with commitment to a healthy lifestyle, results can extend a lifetime.

How long can I be on Semaglutide?

We typically advise that patients take semaglutide until they are able to reach their goal weight, their metabolic function has been reset, and until they have been able to establish positive changes in their diet and activity to sustain their weight loss.

What happens if I stop taking Semaglutide?

There is a possibility that weight lost with this treatment can be regained if the treatment is ceased. However, with healthy lifestyle changes and commitment to maintenance, weight loss can be maintained after stopping the medication.

How much does Semaglutide cost?

The cost of semaglutide depends on the treatment plan that is recommended. If you’re interested in having the procedure covered by insurance, you can work with your medical provider to explore this possibility. Typically, a diagnosis of diabetes is required for insurance to potentially cover the cost. Please keep in mind that we do not work directly with insurance companies, but we can offer guidance on how to navigate this process with your provider.
