Begin your weight loss journey at Total Skin and Wellness in Concord with our Semaglutide program. This FDA-approved treatment has provided effective results for many patients struggling to achieve their weight goals through diet and lifestyle changes alone.
Our team of weight loss specialists will create a personalized treatment plan using Semaglutide injections to help you control food intake and reach your weight loss goals.
How Semaglutide Helps You Succeed on Your Weight Loss Journey
Using Semaglutide for weight loss, combined with healthy lifestyle adjustments, can be an effective way to shed pounds and maintain your ideal weight.
Semaglutide imitates the GLP-1 hormone, influencing brain regions that control appetite and food consumption. GLP-1 is a hormone made in your digestive system to tell the brain you’re full and no longer craving food.
Besides signaling the brain to control hunger and reduce food intake, the hormone also slows digestion, helping you feel full longer.
When your brain thinks your stomach is full and you’re not hungry again soon, you end up eating less throughout the day. This helps eliminate between-meal snacking on empty calories that can hinder your weight loss progress.
Weekly Semaglutide injections are a key part of a weight loss program that, combined with diet and exercise, helps you reach your healthy weight goals.
Semaglutide helps you lose more weight because it remains in the body longer than the natural GLP-1 hormone it mimics. This means you will feel full for a longer time and experience fewer cravings.
Is Semaglutide Treatment Right For You?
Patients seeking to lose weight with Semaglutide should first ensure they qualify as suitable candidates for this advanced medical weight management program to achieve optimal results.
Your body weight, health status, and lifestyle choices can all influence your ability to lose excess weight with Semaglutide. Here are key factors that can influence your tailored strategy for reducing calorie intake and achieving your weight loss goals at your own pace.
Body Mass Index
The Food and Drug Administration has released guidelines to promote the use of Semaglutide for weight loss management. To be effective, a patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) must meet one of the following criteria:
A patient with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater may be regarded as a suitable candidate for this weight loss medication.
A patient with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or higher who also experiences symptoms of weight-related health issues like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or Type 2 diabetes.
Overall Health Factors
Besides the patient's body mass index and weight-related health issues, factors such as age, medical history, and lifestyle choices can significantly influence how effective Semaglutide is in helping the patient achieve their weight loss goals.
A patient with health conditions like gallbladder disease or a history of pancreatitis may not be eligible to use Semaglutide for weight loss. A successful Semaglutide weight loss plan should also include diet and exercise. Engaging in any form of physical activity is beneficial, along with making dietary choices that are low in fat and avoiding sodium and artificial ingredients.
A Semaglutide program that is not combined with diet and exercise will likely take much longer for a patient to achieve their desired results.
How Fast does Semaglutide Work?
Each patient is unique, so there isn't a strict timeline that applies to everyone using Semaglutide for weight loss. Generally, some patients may begin to see initial results in as little as four weeks. However, this depends on various individual factors specific to each patient, not on every person taking Semaglutide for weight loss.
This is why initial doses of Semaglutide are kept low; the body requires time to adjust to the medication and any mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. A lower dosage can minimize these side effects.
As time goes on, the dosages may be increased as the body becomes fully adjusted to the medication and the brain's receptors respond effectively to control appetite and lower food intake.
As the treatment continues, you may notice changes in your weight, which can motivate you on your weight loss journey. It's important to keep up with regular exercise and a healthy diet. Semaglutide injections are customized to fit your needs and pace towards your goals. Our team will support you throughout the process to ensure a safe, effective, and healthy approach to achieving your ideal weight.
Achieving your weight loss goals is a gradual process that requires time. At Total Skin and Wellness, we provide a thoughtfully designed weight loss program tailored to your individual needs. The Semaglutide weight loss program is not a generic solution; we ensure that each patient receives the specialized care they need while using this groundbreaking weight loss medication.
