how does semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works naturally with our body. It simulates the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that the human body naturally produces. This hormone is responsible for regulating appetite and satiety. By replicating this hormone, semaglutide targets the area of the brain regulating those processes, helping individuals manage their appetite and food intake.

By modifying appetite and satiety, semaglutide helps to provide a prolonged approach to treating chronic weight gain and obesity.

what else does semaglutide do?

There's also a second way that semaglutide makes it easier to lose weight by eating less. Semaglutide injections slow down the movement of food through the stomach. This gives your body more time to feel fuller on fewer calories.

Additionally, semaglutide injections help the pancreas release the proper amount of insulin to better correspond with the body’s blood-sugar levels. The end result is a strong reduction in appetite that allows you to feel full and energized while eating much less. It's like going on a diet without actually realizing that you're dieting.

HOW DO I TAKE SEMAGLUTIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

Semaglutide is taken as once-weekly injection. After a comprehensive medical assessment to determine if you are eligible for this weight loss program, you will be taught how to self-inject the appropriate dosage for your treatment. You will perform this on the same day and time weekly.

If you are unable to perform your own injections, the medical staff at REJŪVE Med Spa are here to help. We are committed to teaching you how to manage not only the medication administration, but will support you on your weight loss journey.

Because semaglutide works to decrease appetite and slow down stomach emptying, some common side effects such as nausea, bloating and constipation can occur. Our medical weight loss program which includes follow ups approximately every 6-8 weeks, teaches you how to manage certain side effects, adjust your dosing and get you to your goal weight safely.
