Are you struggling to lose weight and looking for an answer? Semaglutide, or “The Skinny Shot,” is a once-a-week weight loss injection. This medication helps regulate your appetite and food intake to help you reach your target weight. At Legacy Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we are your trusted provider for Semaglutide in Exton, PA.
Your weight loss injection options may include Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. Our medical team will help you decide which medication is the best for your needs.
Semaglutide was originally developed as a type 2 diabetes medication to help lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels and improve lipid levels. An added side benefit is that it also lowers a patient’s body weight. When used under a physician’s guidance, Semaglutide helps patients maintain a healthy weight.
Patients who have type 2 diabetes and a BMI of 30 (or a combination of a high BMI and a medical condition) may qualify for an insurance-approved brand of weight loss medication. This may include Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, or Mounjaro.
However, patients who do not have diabetes but have a BMI of 24 or higher and have struggled with traditional weight loss options may qualify for Semaglutide injections. At Legacy Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we use a medical approach with Semaglutide weight loss injections and coach patients into a healthy lifestyle balance. Our goal is to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, sustain your target weight, and eventually reduce or discontinue Semaglutide.
Having realistic expectations for any procedure is important, and weight loss injections are no different. This weight loss injection is self-administered once per week. The medication is injected subcutaneously into the upper arm, abdomen, or thigh. Typically for the first month, the weekly dose is very low, slowly increasing until the patient’s goal weight is achieved.
With Semaglutide, most patients reach their target weight. This occurs as the medication lessens the patient’s appetite and slows stomach emptying. Essentially, it sends signals to the brain that you are full. Patients can achieve significant weight loss results when Semaglutide is used with a healthy diet and exercise.
