Semaglutide Weight Loss Shot
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide functions as a receptor agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), replicating the effects of this hormone naturally produced in the body. GLP-1, elicited by food intake from the intestine, triggers insulin release, thereby reducing blood sugar levels. Administered via a weekly injection, semaglutide demonstrates efficacy in weight reduction, enhancing blood sugar management, and mitigating cardiovascular risks.
​
How does Semaglutide work?​​
Semaglutide facilitates weight loss by curbing appetite and enhancing feelings of fullness or satiety. As a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, it mimics the actions of the natural hormone GLP-1, which is generated by the intestine following food ingestion, thereby promoting insulin release to lower blood sugar levels. GLP-1 also slows stomach emptying and reduces food intake by promoting a sense of fullness.
​
Furthermore, semaglutide influences brain regions governing food intake and appetite, particularly activating neurons in the hypothalamus responsible for regulating hunger and satiety. This dual mechanism decreases appetite and food consumption, aiding weight loss.
​
When coupled with a balanced diet and regular exercise regimen, semaglutide proves to be an effective strategy for weight management in adults grappling with obesity or overweight conditions.

How is Semaglutide administered? ​​​
Semaglutide is given through a subcutaneous injection, typically once weekly, available at either our location or administered by you at home. Using a small insulin needle, it is injected under the skin in areas like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It's recommended to administer semaglutide consistently at the same time each week, and it can be taken with or without food.
How long before I see results?​​​
The timeframe for observing results with semaglutide may differ based on individual factors like initial weight, dietary patterns, exercise routines, and overall health status. Clinical trials have indicated that individuals undergoing semaglutide treatment for weight management generally experience substantial weight loss within the initial months of therapy.
​
It's essential to acknowledge that outcomes can differ among individuals, and not everyone may experience weight loss while using semaglutide. Furthermore, weight reduction progress might reach a plateau at some stage. Therefore, it's crucial for patients to persist with a balanced diet and exercise regimen to sustain their weight loss achievements in the long term.
