WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?
Semaglutide is an FDA approved drug treatment used at XSculpt for chronic weight management. When injected, Semaglutide mimicks a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1. Semaglutide targets areas of the brain to decrease appetite and food intake resulting in weight loss for those who are overweight or struggling with obesity. Popularly known by the brand name Ozempic®, this treatment offers an effective solution for managing weight and improving overall health.
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE USED FOR?
Ozempic®, can be used for a variety of conditions. It is intended for adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol). Ozempic® is not only effective for weight loss, but following your injections, it also improves cardiovascular and pancreatic health, helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle despite these chronic conditions. The top benefits of semaglutide injections include:
- Reduces food intake by lowering your appetite.
- Slows food digestion in the stomach.
- Decreases body fat percentage.
- Overall weight loss.
- Decreases cardiovascular outcomes in subjects with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Lowers HbA1c levels & enhances the growth of β cells in the pancreas.
HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK?
When Ozempic® is injected into the body, it signals your brain to decrease your appetite. By mimicking glucagon-like peptide-1, Semaglutide specifically targets areas of the brain that regulate food intake. This process enhances and accelerates your weight-loss results, making the journey easier. In addition to promoting weight loss, Ozempic® can also help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF SEMAGLUTIDE?
The most common side effects of medications like Ozempic® include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, indigestion, dizziness, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in patients with type 2 diabetes, gas buildup, gastroenteritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
