Semaglutide for Weight Loss
As we get older, losing weight can be more difficult. You may feel like dieting and exercise alone just aren’t enough. You’ve likely heard about the recent FDA approval of Semaglutide! If not, we are here to tell you all about the popular weight loss injection everyone is chatting about!
Semaglutide is a subcutaneous injection used for weight loss. It works in three ways – reducing your hunger and cravings by lowering your appetite and slowing down digestion, decreasing blood glucose to burn fat as a source of energy, and suppressing the hormones that cause hunger in the hypothalamus.
This injection can reduce the risk of future cardiovascular events, such as a heart attack or stroke, in people with type 2 diabetes. It has also been shown to improve mood and energy levels. Patients with a history of thyroid, pancreas, gallbladder diseases or problems cannot take this medication.
Are you interested in finding out if you are a good candidate for Semaglutide? A consultation to receive this medication is required before being prescribed. After receiving the green light from your provider, you will come back in 7 days to collect the medication, as well as learn how to administer it yourself. After 8 weeks, there will be a follow up appointment to track your progress and results! We want to make sure everything is going well and you are on track.
Now you are probably thinking, wow this injection sounds amazing and too good to be true but we are here to tell you it truly is amazing. We have seen the great benefits and results this injection brings, but just like any other medication, Semaglutide can come with side effects. The most common side effects are stomach-related, such as nausea, vomiting and constipation that usually improve overtime. As with any sort of medication, there are good and bad side effects, but it really depends on the person and how your body reacts to the injections. That is why our consultation and follow up appointments are necessary!
The pricing for Semaglutide injection treatment is $900 per vial, which can last anywhere from 8-12 weeks depending on dosage per week. This includes injection medication, syringes and education from us! Give us a call or book a consultation today and let's start your weight loss journey together.
