Who Should Consider Weight Loss Injections?

What Is Semaglutide and How Does It Work?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) receptor agonist, a medication that mimics hormones naturally produced in the gut. These hormones help regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. By targeting GLP-1 receptors in the body, semaglutide works to curb appetite and slow digestion, helping you feel fuller for longer, even after eating smaller meals.

As a result, patients using semaglutide experience reduced hunger and better control over food intake, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss. Popular medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy® both contain semaglutide as their active ingredient.

How Does Semaglutide Help You Lose Weight?

Semaglutide aids in weight loss through three key mechanisms:

• Appetite Reduction: Semaglutide signals your brain to reduce hunger, helping you feel full after eating smaller amounts of food.
• Slowing Digestion: By slowing down the digestive process, semaglutide helps keep you satisfied longer after meals, reducing the temptation to snack.
• Improving Blood Sugar Regulation: Semaglutide also helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it beneficial not only for weight loss but also for overall metabolic health.

With its ability to help regulate appetite and digestion, semaglutide offers a highly effective solution for those looking to lose weight and improve their overall health.

Is Semaglutide Right for You?

Semaglutide could be a great fit for you if:

• You have a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity) or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with weight-related health issues such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• You struggle with portion control and have difficulty losing weight with diet and exercise alone.
• You’re looking for a medical weight loss solution that works alongside your lifestyle.

At Aesthetica Medspa, we offer semaglutide as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Our expert team will work with you to monitor progress, adjust your plan as needed, and support you on your weight loss journey.

Benefits of Semaglutide for Weight Loss

• Effective and Proven: Clinical studies show that patients using semaglutide can achieve up to a 15% reduction in body weight.
• Non-Surgical: Semaglutide offers a non-surgical alternative to bariatric surgery for individuals who need to lose significant weight but are not ready for or eligible for surgery.
• Improved Health: As you lose weight, you may also see improvements in blood sugar control, cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular health.

Are You a Candidate for Semaglutide Injections?

You may be a good candidate for semaglutide if you meet the following criteria:

• Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with comorbidities.
• Struggle to lose weight with traditional methods like diet and exercise alone.
• Are committed to a medically supervised weight loss program and are ready to make lasting changes.

Who Should Avoid Semaglutide?

While semaglutide is generally safe, it is not suitable for everyone. People who should avoid semaglutide include:

• Those with a history of certain cancers, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.
• Individuals with a history of pancreatitis or severe kidney issues.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
