How Weight Loss (Semaglutide) Works
Medical Evaluation
A licensed provider reviews your health history, BMI, labs, and weight-loss goals to determine if GLP-1 medication is appropriate for you.
Starting at a Low Dose
You begin with a low dose of Semaglutide to allow your body to adjust. The dose is gradually increased over several weeks to minimize side effects.
Weekly Self-Injection
You administer a simple subcutaneous injection once per week, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Each injection takes under 5 minutes.
Ongoing Monitoring & Dose Adjustment
Your provider tracks your weight loss, adjusts dosing, and provides nutritional guidance to maximize results and manage any side effects.
