What Are Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide injections are a cutting-edge medical weight loss treatment designed to help individuals manage their weight effectively. Originally developed for diabetes management, Semaglutide has been FDA-approved for weight loss due to its ability to regulate appetite and metabolism.
How Do Semaglutide Injections Work?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the hormone responsible for regulating hunger and blood sugar levels. It works by:
- Reducing appetite, making you feel full longer
- Slowing digestion, leading to better portion control
- Regulating blood sugar levels to prevent spikes and crashes
Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide injections may be a great option for individuals who:
- Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions
- Have a BMI of 30 or greater and are struggling with obesity
- Have tried traditional diet and exercise programs without long-term success
Dr. Jessica Chung will evaluate your medical history and weight loss goals to determine if Semaglutide is the right choice for you.
What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss?
Patients using Semaglutide for medical weight loss can experience:
- Significant and sustained weight loss
- Reduced cravings and overeating tendencies
- Improved metabolic health and energy levels
- Lower risk of obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease
How Is Semaglutide Administered?
Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection under the skin. Dr. Jessica Chung and her team will provide instructions on proper injection techniques and dosage adjustments based on your progress.
What Are the Possible Side Effects?
Like any medication, Semaglutide may cause side effects, including:
- Nausea or mild digestive discomfort
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Mild injection site irritation
These effects typically subside as your body adjusts to the treatment. Dr. Chung will closely monitor your response and adjust your dosage if necessary.
How Soon Can I Expect to See Results?
Many patients begin noticing changes in their appetite and weight within the first few weeks. Full results typically develop over several months of consistent treatment.
Is Semaglutide Safe for Long-Term Use?
Semaglutide has been shown to be safe and effective for long-term weight management when used under medical supervision. Dr. Chung will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for sustainable results.
