Semaglutide: A Weight Loss Injection

Losing weight is a challenging process. You might find yourself in many high and low situations where you’re seeing results and then you’re not. What if we told you we had a solution for you that aided in healthy weight loss and maintained longterm results.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management. It targets the brain centers that regulate appetite, especially after eating. It also slows down how quickly the stomach empties, which makes the stomach feel fuller for longer. It is an incretin hormone and these hormones are released by the small intestine and then sent out to the body after you’ve eaten a meal to help lower your blood sugar. When the blood sugar is decreased this triggers insulin and then other sugar sources are blocked. With these two actions working together you will get the feeling full quicker and this will lower appetite and cause you to lose weight.

Top 5 Reasons to Use Semaglutide:

  1. Lower blood sugar levels: Semaglutide helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the production of glucose.

  2. Promote weight loss: It has been shown to help people lose weight, especially when paired with a healthy diet and exercise.

  3. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease: It has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes.

  4. Convenient dosing: It is taken once a week, making it a convenient option for people who struggle with daily medication regimens.

  5. Improved quality of life: By helping to manage blood sugar levels and by promoting weight loss, semaglutide can improve overall quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes.

How do I use Semaglutide?

To see the best results, Semaglutide injections should be used in congruence with diet and exercise. The injection occurs once weekly and beginning at 0.25mg for the first four weeks, titrating up to 0.5mg, 1mg, or 2mg. Inject the medication under the skin (subcutaneously) into the back of the upper arms, front of thighs, or on either side of the stomach, two inches away from the belly botton. Alternate injection spots each week. Semaglutide is prescription medication, where in order to receive it, you will need to visit your local healthcare provider.

Semaglutide’s noticeable effects on weight loss varies among individuals. Generally, significant weight loss can be observed within a few weeks to a couple of months of starting. However, it’s important to remember that individual responses to the medication may differ due to factors such as metabolism, lifestyle choices, and adherence to the treatment plan. When consulting with your team at Core Aesthetic, we will provide personalized guidance on how long it may take for Semaglutide to work effectively for each person’s weight loss journey.
