Semaglutide Weight Loss

Semaglutide is a game changer in medical weight loss for many reasons! It is a medication that has been proven to aid in weight loss and help keep weight off! Semaglutide mimics Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body, which can increase insulin secretion and slow down gastric emptying. This is the body's function of your stomach emptying food. This can suppress your appetite, which helps you eat less and lose weight.

This medication is used to help control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, but it has been shown to increase the ability to lose weight.

While using Semaglutide, one can expect to have a lowered relative preference for fatty, energy-dense foods. Results also show a weight loss average of 14.9% from baseline after 68 weeks (about 16 months). About 70% of patients achieve a weight loss of at least 10%, about 50% achieve a weight loss of at least 15%, and about 33% of participants lost at least 20%. 

Many of our clients have experienced a weight loss of around 5 pounds in the first week of using Semaglutide! While the average weight loss is two pounds per week, most of our clients routinely surpass this rate of weight loss!

*Important Safety Information Regarding Compounded Semaglutide Products*

In June 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug administration approved semaglutide (Wegovy) injection (once weekly) for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol), for use in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity. This under-the-skin injection (subcutaneous) is the first approved drug for chronic weight management in adults with general obesity or overweight since 2014. The drug is indicated for chronic weight management in patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater who have at least one weight-relatd ailment or in patients with a BMI of 30 or greater.

Is Semaglutide used for weight loss?

Yes. Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication for adults who are either overweight or obese.

How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (or GLP-1) that specifically targets areas in the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. This can help you eat less, thereby helping you lose weight. 

How much weight can I lose with Semaglutide?

On average, you can lose 1-2 pounds per week by taking the prescribed dosage-- 2.4 mg once per week, but many patients have seen results of 5 or more pounds per week. 

How often should I take Semaglutide?

To stay in accordance witht he program, you should take Semaglutide once a week, at any time of day, with or without food. Injections can be given at Skin Logics Weight Loss Clinic or you can take them at home. 

Does Semaglutide have possible side effects?

Yes. Semaglutide can cause the following side effects: headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fatigue, upset stomach, constipation, and diarrhea, as well as belching and heartburn. Check with your doctor immediately if any of the aforementioned side effects occur. 

Is your Semaglutide program a diet?

Not exactly. While a reduced-calorie meal plan can certainly help increase the rate at which you lose weight, dieting is not required to lose weight on the program. If you want to lose weight faster, we can suggest a low-calorie diet for you to follow. 

Does the needle hurt?

No, our clients say that the injection is pain-free. We use a 31 gauge needle that is made for your comfort.

Will I gain back the weight I lose on Semaglutide injections?

No, the dose prescribed by your provider is dependent on the patient. The dose your provider chooses in patient-specific and based on the patient's life style and weight loss goals. When used correctly, the weight will stay off.

Semaglutide is a once-weekly injectable medication that can be administered by one of our trained healthcare professionals, or you can take it home and administer it to yourself.

Most will start on a small dose– increasing it until an appropriate dosage is reached. Dosage may vary between patients, as well as results.

On average, patients can expect to lose one-two pounds a week– if the patient maintains a routine of taking Semaglutide. 

Semaglutide may be used to improve blood sugar control (also called glycemic control) in people with type 2 diabetes alongside diet modification and increased exercise. It also reduces the risk of future cardiovascular events, such as a heart attack or stroke, in people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart disease. Semaglutide may reduce the risk of new or worsening nephropathy in people with type 2 diabetes at high risk for or with existing cardiovascular disease. It may also be used with a prescription of Phentermine as well as weekly usage of B12 shots.

Semaglutide is available as a once-weekly prefilled injection that is given subcutaneously (under the skin). The injection is given once a week, on the same day each week (for example, every Monday).

The dosage of semaglutide does not need to be adjusted in people with kidney or liver disease.
