Semaglutide Weight Loss: Mint Hill
Total Skin and Wellness in Mint Hill invites you to start your weight loss journey with our FDA-approved Semaglutide program, which has helped many patients who struggled to lose weight with just diet and lifestyle adjustments.
Our weight loss specialists work with you to build a Semaglutide injection plan tailored to reduce appetite and support your weight loss journey.
How Semaglutide Helps You Succeed on Your Weight Loss Journey
Taking Semaglutide while adopting healthier lifestyle habits can lead to substantial weight loss and support in keeping it off.
Semaglutide functions similarly to GLP-1, targeting brain regions that control food intake and manage appetite. GLP-1 is a hormone released by the gastrointestinal system to communicate to the brain that hunger is reduced.
This hormone reduces hunger and also signals the brain to slow down digestion, allowing for prolonged feelings of fullness.
Feeling full signals the brain that you don’t need to eat again quickly, helping you reduce food intake throughout the day. This means fewer snacks between meals, helping you avoid empty calories that can interfere with weight loss.
Weekly Semaglutide injections are incorporated into a complete weight loss plan, along with diet and exercise, to help you meet your weight goals.
The longer retention of Semaglutide in the body compared to natural GLP-1 contributes to more effective weight loss. This results in a longer-lasting feeling of satisfaction with reduced cravings.
Is Semaglutide Treatment Right For You?
Those wanting to lose weight with Semaglutide should first verify that they qualify as suitable candidates for this innovative weight management program for optimal results.
Your ability to lose weight with Semaglutide can be affected by body weight, health conditions, and your lifestyle choices. Below are important factors that can impact your individual strategy for cutting calorie intake and achieving your weight loss goals on your timeline.
Body Mass Index
The Food and Drug Administration has provided a set of guidelines to support the use of Semaglutide as a solution for weight loss management. For it to work effectively, the patient’s Body Mass Index (BMI) must meet one of the following conditions:
A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or more may suggest that a patient is a good candidate for this weight loss medication.
A patient with a BMI of 27 kg/m² or higher who exhibits symptoms of health conditions associated with excess weight, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and/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 have a significant effect on the efficacy of Semaglutide for meeting the patient's weight loss objectives.
Patients facing health problems such as gallbladder disease or a previous history of pancreatitis may not qualify to use Semaglutide for weight loss. Any weight loss approach using Semaglutide should include diet and exercise. Starting with physical activity and choosing low-fat foods while avoiding sodium and artificial ingredients is essential.
Patients using Semaglutide without accompanying diet and exercise will take longer to make significant progress toward their weight loss goals.
How Fast does Semaglutide Work?
Each patient is distinct, meaning there isn’t a specific timeframe that applies to everyone using Semaglutide as a weight loss solution. Generally, initial results may be observed in as little as four weeks. However, this is influenced by several personalized factors that relate to the individual patient, rather than applying to everyone taking Semaglutide for weight loss.
The reason for low initial doses of Semaglutide is to allow the body to acclimate to the drug and manage mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. A lower dosage can help prevent these issues.
Over time, higher dosages may be administered as the body fully adapts to the medication and the brain’s receptors respond adequately to regulate appetite and lower food intake.
As your treatment progresses, you may see changes in your weight that can encourage you in your weight loss journey. It's important to pair this with regular exercise and healthy eating. Semaglutide injections are adjusted to fit your needs and pace. Our team is here to guide you, ensuring a safe and effective route to achieving your weight loss objectives.
This journey may take time and involves a step-by-step approach to reaching your goals. Total Skin and Wellness offers a personalized weight loss program tailored to your specific needs. The Semaglutide weight loss program is not one-size-fits-all; we prioritize providing each patient with the specialized care they need while using this revolutionary weight loss drug.
