Semaglutide, which is the medication found in Ozempic and Wegovy is being used as a long-term weight loss aid. Wegovy has been FDA-approved since early 2021 and has been FDA-approved for diabetic patients since 2014. Throughout significant studies over the last 9 years, Semaglutide has proven itself effective for weight loss and lowering the hemoglobin A1C levels in your blood.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called “GLP-1.” GLP-1 is a hormone that our body naturally produces in response to the presence of food in the stomach. It works by slowing down stomach emptying and signaling to your brain that your stomach is full. This allows patients to experience less hunger and feel satisfied with fewer calories.
Dieting and weight loss have been a big market for decades. The quest for looking good and feeling great has been a multi-billion dollar industry so when Wegovy received its FDA approval it wasn't long before weight loss clinics such as ours at Eye Candy Medspa started offering this medication. We have found success in offering this medication to our patients and find that most patients are successful at losing weight if they follow the program as prescribed, and use us as a resource for guidance and accountability.
Here are just a few reasons to start on our Semaglutide diet program.
It decreases your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
It helps you maintain a healthy weight and keep your metabolism running smoothly.
It reduces inflammation throughout your body and aids in the healing process.
It gives you a more toned look that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally effective.
It can lead to lower blood pressure and healthier cholesterol levels.
Losing weight can boost your self-esteem and make you look and feel younger.
With all the positives do come a few negatives. Semaglutide can cause mild nausea and constipation for some patients on our program. We offer tools in our program to combat these problems but you should know that there are side effects to look out for on the medication. We provide an Amazon Store of the best products for everything Semaglutide. https://www.amazon.com/shop/eyecandymedspa Check it out!
Most of our patients lose about 20-25 lbs in a 3-4 month time frame on the Semaglutide program. While Semaglutide doesn’t provide immediate weight loss, it works quickly. Over the first 1-6 weeks you will be titrated to a dose that will maximize your weight loss journey. You might not lose weight for the first 2-3 weeks so BE PATIENT! Knowing this means you must commit to a program for a minimum of 3 months to see real weight loss.
