What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication initially developed to manage type 2 diabetes but has shown remarkable results when it comes to aiding weight loss. These powerful injections work by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which is responsible for regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By slowing down digestion and increasing feelings of fullness, Semaglutide may help individuals reduce their caloric intake naturally and sustainably. This treatment has been a game-changer for many who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise, offering a new path to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
Who Is a Candidate for Semaglutide?
The ideal candidate for treatment using Semaglutide is typically any individual seeking to lose weight but has not achieved the desired results through diet and exercise. This is usually someone with a BMI of 27 or higher who also has an obesity-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. A thorough consultation with Dr. Mario Yco at Your Cosmetic Office is the best way to determine your candidacy for weight loss treatment using Semaglutide.
Semaglutide Treatment
Semaglutide consists of a weekly injection, which can be self-administered at home after initial training by a healthcare provider. Patients usually begin to see gradual weight loss as part of a comprehensive plan that includes dietary changes and lifestyle modifications. Throughout the treatment, regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Yco will help monitor progress, adjust dosages if needed, and ensure that your treatment is progressing in line with your health and aesthetic goals.
Semaglutide Recovery and Results
There is no downtime associated with Semaglutide treatment, but some patients may experience some mild side effects after injections. Side effects are also related to your body adjusting to new food intake levels. Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, particularly during the initial stages of treatment. These side effects often subside as the body adjusts to the medication. Despite these potential side effects, Semaglutide has been shown to produce significant and sustained weight loss results, helping many individuals achieve their weight management goals when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
