Overview of Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an injectable prescription medication used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight. It helps people lose weight and keep it off by reducing appetite and calorie intake.

Semaglutide was originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes, but has shown remarkable weight loss benefits. It is now increasingly prescribed off-label by weight loss clinics and medical spas for non-diabetics as well.

How Semaglutide Promotes Weight Loss:

  • Mimics natural glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone
  • Suppresses appetite and reduces food cravings
  • Delays gastric emptying so you feel full faster and longer
  • Increases insulin production which further suppresses appetite

Clinical trials show most patients lose 15-20% of their body weight with Semaglutide over 16-20 months. Results are even better when combined with lifestyle changes.

Candidacy for Semaglutide Weight Loss Therapy

Semaglutide can be a good option for adults struggling with obesity (BMI over 30) or overweight (BMI 25-30) who have failed to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

Ideal candidates have:

  • BMI over 27
  • Pre-diabetes or diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease or related risk factors

Semaglutide is not recommended for those with:

  • Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2
  • Severe gastrointestinal disease
  • Severe kidney disease

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid Semaglutide due to lack of safety data. Consult your doctor regarding appropriateness for your condition.

Benefits of Semaglutide Weight Loss Therapy

When combined with healthy lifestyle changes, Semaglutide offers remarkable health improvements beyond just losing pounds.

Weight Loss and Maintenance

Most patients lose 10-15% of initial body weight, which is considered a success for obesity treatment. Many lose even more weight with Semaglutide.

Equally importantly, Semaglutide helps prevent weight regain. In trials, 85% of weight lost was still maintained a year after stopping treatment.

Improved Quality of Life

Patients report significant improvements in energy, mobility, productivity, self-confidence, sexual health, and overall wellbeing.

Losing just 5-10% of body weight can make simple pleasures of life more enjoyable again. Sustained weight loss enhances both physical and mental health.
