What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP‑1 receptor agonist developed for diabetes but now approved in higher doses (Wegovy) for weight loss. It mimics a natural gut hormone that:

• Suppresses appetite

• Regulates blood sugar

• Slows digestion

Wegovy and Ozempic are both semaglutide-based but differ in their licensed uses—weight loss vs diabetes.

How Semaglutide Helps You Lose Weight

Patients using semaglutide experience:

• Hunger suppression

• Fewer cravings and snacking

• Improved insulin sensitivity

• Natural calorie control without constant dieting

In clinical trials, this translates to 10–15% weight loss, especially when combined with our guided meal and activity plans.

Weekly Semaglutide Injections – Simple and Effective

Semaglutide is delivered through once-weekly subcutaneous injections using prefilled pens. Our clinic provides:

• Injection training

• Dose planning

• Side-effect support

• Local prescription without waitlists

We offer both in-clinic and at-home options, depending on your preference.
