Breakthrough FDA-approved weight loss treatment helping adults achieve 15-20% body weight reduction with medically supervised injections.
Semaglutide is an innovative medication that has revolutionized weight loss treatment in Philadelphia and worldwide.
Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, semaglutide was found to produce remarkable weight loss results. It's part of the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, which mimics natural hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism.
At our Philadelphia clinic, we offer semaglutide as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program, combining the injections with personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance for optimal results.
Semaglutide works through multiple biological mechanisms to help you achieve sustainable weight loss.
Acts on brain receptors to reduce hunger signals and increase feelings of fullness after meals.
Delays gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach longer, prolonging satiety.
Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood sugar spikes that can trigger fat storage.
Supports healthier metabolic function for more efficient fat burning and energy use.
Beyond weight loss, semaglutide offers numerous health and lifestyle benefits.
Clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight when combined with lifestyle modifications.
Reduces risk factors for heart disease including blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation markers.
Helps establish long-term healthy eating habits rather than temporary restrictive dieting.
Patients report higher energy as excess weight decreases and metabolic function improves.
Successful weight loss often leads to improved self-esteem and reduced anxiety about health.
Lowers risk for obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint problems.
Our medically supervised program ensures safe, effective weight loss with personalized care.
Your journey begins with a thorough medical assessment including health history review, physical examination, and lab work to determine if semaglutide is right for you.
We create a customized program with your injection schedule, nutritional guidance, and exercise recommendations tailored to your specific needs and goals.
You'll receive weekly semaglutide injections at our Philadelphia clinic or learn to self-administer at home after proper training. The dose starts low and gradually increases.
Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your progress, adjust dosage as needed, and provide continuous medical supervision and lifestyle coaching.

"Personally, my weight loss treatment has been a positive experience. I tried many diets to lose weight and did not achieve results. Today I have seen the results after I started to have treatment here. I recommend this place. The staff is very friendly and professional."
"I highly recommend Dr B, and I am very pleased with my results from the medical weight loss program. She made weight loss attainable for a busy mother of two and in a short period of time. It is easy to get discouraged with little to no results from working out & diet alone, but that was not the case here. There was a plan and the results were real and measurable. Thanks again :)"
