Semaglutide Weight Loss: Gastonia
At Total Skin and Wellness in Gastonia, our Semaglutide weight loss program can help you reach your weight goals. This FDA-approved solution has supported many patients in their journey when other methods didn’t suffice.
With our team of weight loss experts, you’ll receive a personalized Semaglutide injection program designed to curb food intake and support your weight loss objectives.
How Semaglutide Helps You Succeed on Your Weight Loss Journey
Semaglutide combined with lifestyle adjustments can help you lose weight effectively and maintain your ideal weight once reached.
By imitating the GLP-1 hormone, Semaglutide impacts areas of the brain responsible for hunger and food regulation. Produced by the gut, GLP-1 signals to the brain that you’re no longer in need of more food.
Beyond controlling your appetite, the hormone slows digestion, so you stay satisfied longer after eating.
When your brain believes you’re full, your desire to eat decreases, and you end up eating less for the day. You’re less inclined to snack, which prevents consuming empty calories that could slow your weight loss progress.
As part of a balanced weight loss program, weekly Semaglutide injections, diet, and exercise work together to support your healthy weight goals.
Semaglutide can lead to greater weight loss because it stays in your body for an extended period compared to the natural GLP-1 hormone. So, you will enjoy a longer sense of fullness and experience fewer urges to eat.
Is Semaglutide Treatment Right For You?
For the best results from Semaglutide weight loss, patients should ensure they are eligible for this advanced medical weight management program.
Body weight, health issues, and lifestyle choices can all impact your journey to losing excess weight with Semaglutide. Here are several key elements that can affect your personalized approach to reducing calorie consumption and meeting your weight loss goals at your own pace.
Body Mass Index
The FDA has released a series of guidelines to facilitate the use of Semaglutide in weight loss management. The patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) must satisfy one of the following criteria for it to be effective:
A patient with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher may qualify as a suitable candidate for this weight loss program.
A patient whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is 27 kg/m² or more and who shows symptoms of weight-related health issues like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or Type 2 diabetes.
Overall Health Factors
Along with body mass index and health conditions associated with weight, other elements like age, medical history, and lifestyle habits can greatly affect the effectiveness of Semaglutide in helping the patient achieve their ideal weight.
Those with certain health conditions, such as gallbladder disease or a history of pancreatitis, may not be able to take Semaglutide for weight loss. A successful Semaglutide weight loss regimen should focus on diet and exercise. Any form of physical activity is beneficial, along with making low-fat dietary choices and avoiding sodium and artificial additives.
Any Semaglutide program that does not include diet and exercise will likely extend the time it takes for patients to see meaningful results.
How Fast does Semaglutide Work?
Since all patients are different, there is no uniform timeline for those choosing Semaglutide for weight loss. On average, some may begin to see results in around four weeks. The results depend on a number of individual factors relevant to the specific patient, not every patient using Semaglutide injections for weight loss.
This is why the first doses of Semaglutide are administered at a low level, as the body needs time to adjust to the medication and any mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. A lower dose can help avoid these side effects.
As time progresses, the dosages may be increased when the body has fully adjusted to the medication and the brain's receptors are appropriately managing appetite and food intake.
As treatment goes on, you may notice a difference in your weight that can motivate you during your weight loss journey. It’s essential to keep up with exercise and maintain a healthy diet. Semaglutide injections are customized to your individual needs and progress. Our staff will guide you every step of the way to ensure a safe, effective, and healthy approach to reaching your weight loss goals.
Achieving your weight loss goals is a gradual process that requires time. At Total Skin and Wellness, we provide a thoughtfully designed weight loss program tailored to your individual requirements. The Semaglutide weight loss program is customized for each patient, ensuring that everyone receives the specialized care they deserve while using this advanced weight loss medication.
