What Are Semaglutide Injections for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide injections are a type of medication used to help individuals manage their weight. These injections have been approved by the FDA for use in adults who are either overweight or obese and who have at least one weight-related health issue.
Semaglutide is the main and active ingredient in these injections. This substance works primarily by reducing your appetite, which can lead to eating less and, therefore, losing weight. Semaglutide also works to enhance the feeling of satiety from eating smaller portions of food, ensuring those who take the medication for weight loss do not feel hungry or deprived throughout their weight loss journeys.
Under the supervision of our expert physician, you can start losing weight in a safe and successful way.
FAQs
We understand that you may have a few questions about how semaglutide works and what to expect on your weight loss journey. We encourage you to explore our most frequently asked questions below for more information.
Your body naturally produces a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps to regulate your blood sugar levels and slows down the movement of food through your stomach. It also sends signals to your brain that make you feel full and satisfied after eating.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it acts in a similar way to the natural hormone in your body. When you take semaglutide, it binds to the same receptors in your brain as GLP-1 does. This tricks your brain into thinking you are full, even when you have eaten less than usual.
This results in successful weight loss for patients who are struggling to lose weight through traditional diet and exercise methods alone. It is important to note, however, that eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise are recommended for the best results.
Patients using semaglutide injections can anticipate significant weight loss results over time. Recent studies have shown that patients can lose up to 15 lbs within their first three months of taking semaglutide injections on a weekly basis.
It is important to remember that these results will vary from patient to patient, depending on their diet and lifestyle habits. We encourage you to talk to Dr. Liu about your expectations prior to starting your journey on weight loss injections.
The results of your semaglutide weight loss have the potential to last a lifetime with a healthy diet and fitness routine. It is essential for patients to learn and maintain a healthy lifestyle to receive the benefits of semaglutide injections in the long term. Dr. Liu will be happy to guide you on your weight loss journey with nutritional education to ensure you keep your weight off for good.
Mild side effects of semaglutide injections include nausea, acid reflux, and gastrointestinal distress. If you find you are experiencing uncomfortable side effects as a result of your medication, it is essential you talk with Dr. Liu right away. She will be able to provide you with assistance to mitigate your unwanted side effects while maintaining your results for the long term.
It is important to note that while semaglutide injections can be effective, they are not suitable for everyone. If you are overweight with a weight-related health condition or have a BMI of 30 or greater, semaglutide weight loss injections may be right for you. Dr. Liu can help determine if this type of treatment is appropriate for you based on your overall health and specific weight loss goals.
