The search for patients to find effective and safe weight loss treatment can seem unending. But North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics offers an effective, FDA-approved medication known as semaglutide as part of our customized weight loss programs with real results you can see and feel. Semaglutide weight loss treatment, commercially known as Wegovy, is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased exercise.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of prescription medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. This medication mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which is released as a response to eating. GLP-1 encourages the body to produce a greater amount of insulin, reducing glucose (blood sugar) levels.
In higher amounts, this chemical interacts with the areas of the brain that suppress appetite and provide a feeling of fullness. When used in combination with diet modifications and increased physical activity, a semaglutide injection can cause significant weight loss, as well as decreased risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease in people with obesity or overweight.
The semaglutide cost includes an office visit and an injection of the medication, and it is less than one-third the cost of typical pharmacy prices of the generic Wegovy medication. To begin treatment, patients will come in to receive their injection once each week, which can then be extended to once every four weeks. The typical semaglutide dosage for weight loss is 2.4 milligrams, administered weekly as painless, subcutaneous injections.
Reach your weight loss goal and look and feel your best with semaglutide injections from North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics. Semaglutide is safe and approved by the FDA to be administered during regular appointments with your medical provider. Semaglutide reduces appetite and food cravings and naturally increases your feeling of fullness, making it easier to stick to your new diet plan. This medication lowers weight and waist size and decreases blood sugar and inflammation in the body. Patients receive painless under-the-skin injections activating GLP-1 on a weekly basis.
