What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication used to aid weight loss in adults by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. Administered as a once-weekly injection, Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and increases the body’s ability to burn fat, making it a highly effective treatment for weight management.
How Does Semaglutide Work for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide works by slowing gastric emptying and decreasing appetite, leading to reduced food intake and significant weight loss. Patients can expect an average body weight reduction of 15% over time, with consistent use and adherence to a balanced diet and regular exercise.
How is Semaglutide Administered?
Semaglutide is administered via a simple injection once a week. During your initial consultation at Arizona Skin, we’ll explain the process and demonstrate how to self-administer the injections at home if preferred. The treatment begins with a low dose, gradually increasing over 16-20 weeks to minimize potential side effects and allow your body to adjust.
Is Semaglutide Right for Me?
Semaglutide is suitable for adults struggling with obesity or those needing to lose weight to manage type-2 diabetes effectively. It’s ideal for individuals who have not found success with traditional weight loss methods and are looking for a long-term solution. During your consultation at Arizona Skin, we will assess your medical history and weight loss goals to determine if Semaglutide is the right choice for you.
What are the Benefits of Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an effective solution for weight loss that offers the following benefits:
- Long-term Weight Management: Unlike some weight loss medications, Semaglutide is approved for long-term use.
- Reduces Appetite: Helps control hunger and reduce food intake.
- Improves Glycemic Control: Beneficial for patients with type-2 diabetes.

What Results Can I Expect from Semaglutide?

Most patients begin to see noticeable weight loss within a few weeks, with optimal results typically achieved after three months of continuous use. On average, patients can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. To enhance the effectiveness of Semaglutide, it is recommended to follow a balanced diet and engage in regular physical activity. Tracking your progress with before and after photos can provide motivation and help you stay committed to your weight loss journey.
Are There Any Semaglutide Side Effects?
While Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects, including:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Low blood sugar
These side effects typically diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. To mitigate discomfort, eat small, frequent meals, avoid greasy or sugary foods, and stay hydrated.
SEMAGLUTIDE WEIGHT LOSS BENEFITS
Phentermine is a widely-used diet pill and appetite suppressant that is more affordable than Semaglutide. But there’s a catch—it’s only approved for short-term use. On the other hand, Semaglutide is a suitable option for those seeking a long-term weight loss solution. Not only does it help with weight management, but it also treats Type-2 diabetes and improves glycemic control[1].
Semaglutide offers a plethora of benefits. You only need one injection per week to experience reduced appetite, increased metabolism, and quicker weight loss. Men and women turn to this revolutionary treatment because:
Increases the body’s ability to burn fat.
It suppresses your appetite, so you don’t get hunger pangs as often.
It decreases your food intake and, as a result, reduces your body’s fat mass.
It’s a reliable long-term weight management option.
