How Does Semaglutide Work?

Semaglutide is injected subcutaneously once a week here at Skyn Elegant Aesthetics. The medication mimics the hormone glucagon, which signals feelings of fullness to the brain. This medication works well to suppress appetite and aid in weight loss.

Who Is a Candidate for Semaglutide?

The ideal candidate for medical weight loss with Semaglutide is typically an adult who is either obese (with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or higher) or overweight (with a BMI of 27 or higher) and has at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. This treatment is intended for individuals who have struggled to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise alone. Before starting Semaglutide, it is crucial we conduct a comprehensive evaluation and consultation to determine if Semaglutide is right for you.
