SEMAGLUTIDE
Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. It was initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes, but it has also shown promising results in promoting weight loss.
Semaglutide helps with weight loss by acting on the brain’s appetite control centers, reducing hunger, and increasing feelings of fullness. It slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can help in reducing calorie intake. Additionally, it may also have effects on the reward system in the brain, reducing cravings for food.
Beginning a weight loss journey is a significant commitment, and here at The Beautox Place, support and guidance necessary for success.
Our compounded Semaglutide program typically spans a minimum of 12 weeks. This duration allows patients to start noticing positive changes and adapt to healthy lifestyle habits that foster long-lasting transformations. For those who haven’t reached their desired weight loss goal within the initial 12 weeks, the option to continue the journey towards achieving a healthy weight is available.
It’s important to understand that Compounded Semaglutide is not a quick fix solution, but rather a valuable tool that works best when combined with healthy roles in your weight loss journey.
