ABOUT SEMAGLUTIDE

What is Semaglutide?

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.

THE SCIENCE

How Semaglutide Works for Weight Loss

Semaglutide works through multiple biological mechanisms to help you achieve sustainable weight loss.

Appetite Control

Acts on brain receptors to reduce hunger signals and increase feelings of fullness after meals.

Slower Digestion

Delays gastric emptying so food stays in your stomach longer, prolonging satiety.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood sugar spikes that can trigger fat storage.

Metabolic Benefits

Supports healthier metabolic function for more efficient fat burning and energy use.

WHY CHOOSE SEMAGLUTIDE

Beyond weight loss, semaglutide offers numerous health and lifestyle benefits.

Significant Weight Reduction

Improved Cardiovascular Health

Reduces risk factors for heart disease including blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation markers.

Healthier Eating Patterns

Increased Energy Levels

Enhanced Mental Wellbeing

Successful weight loss often leads to improved self-esteem and reduced anxiety about health.

Reduced Health Risks

Lowers risk for obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint problems.

HAVE QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite and slight weight loss within the first 4 weeks. Significant results typically become apparent after 8-12 weeks as the dosage increases. Maximum results are usually achieved after 6-12 months of consistent treatment combined with lifestyle changes.

The most common side effects are mild to moderate and may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or headache, especially when first starting treatment or increasing dosage. These typically subside within a few days to weeks. Our Philadelphia medical team carefully monitors patients and adjusts dosage to minimize side effects while maximizing results.

Treatment duration varies based on individual goals and response. Many patients achieve their target weight within 6-12 months and then transition to a maintenance plan. Some may need longer treatment to maintain results, as obesity is a chronic condition. Our team creates personalized plans for both weight loss and long-term weight maintenance.

Coverage varies by insurance plan. While semaglutide is often covered for type 2 diabetes, coverage for weight loss alone is less common. Our Philadelphia office staff can help verify your benefits and discuss affordable self-pay options if needed. We're committed to making this treatment accessible to those who can benefit.

Semaglutide has demonstrated superior efficacy compared to other FDA-approved weight loss medications, with average weight loss of 15-20% versus 5-10% with other options. It works through multiple mechanisms (appetite suppression, slowed gastric emptying, improved metabolism) rather than just one. Additionally, it has the added benefit of improving metabolic health markers beyond just weight reduction.
