What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide - the active ingredient in the FDA-approved medications Ozempic and Wegovy - was originally used to treat type 2 diabetes. It mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and insulin levels. By slowing gastric emptying and increasing feelings of fullness, Semaglutide helps reduce calorie intake, promoting effective weight loss. At RESTOR Medical Spa, Semaglutide is part of a comprehensive, personalized weight loss program tailored to individual needs to help you lose weight and keep it off.

How does Semaglutide promote weight loss?

Semaglutide promotes weight loss through several mechanisms. Primarily, it mimics the hormone GLP-1, which plays a critical role in regulating appetite. By enhancing the action of GLP-1, Semaglutide increases feelings of fullness, reducing overall food intake and suppressing appetite. This helps individuals control their cravings and make healthier eating choices.

Additionally, Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, meaning that food stays in the stomach longer. This prolongs the sensation of fullness after meals, further decreasing the urge to eat frequently. The combination of appetite suppression, reduced cravings, and delayed gastric emptying creates a powerful effect that supports sustained weight loss.

    Am I a suitable candidate for weight loss with Semaglutide?

    You may be a suitable candidate for weight loss with Semaglutide if you have a BMI of 30 or higher or a BMI of 27 with weight-related conditions like hypertension or type 2 diabetes. It's also ideal for those who have struggled to achieve sustainable results with other methods and for individuals wanting to maintain their desired weight and prevent weight regain. A consultation at RESTOR Medical Spa will help determine if Semaglutide fits your health goals and needs.
