How
Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone in the body to help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It works by activating areas in the brain responsible for hunger and satiety (feelings of fullness), helping you feel full with smaller portions and reducing overeating.

This treatment involves a once-weekly injection that can be administered at home or in the clinic, depending on your preference. With consistent use, Semaglutide potentially helps promote gradual, sustainable weight loss, paired with guidance to support your overall health goals

What To Expect During
Your Appointment

At Brisk Wellness, your first appointment begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Your board-certified physician will discuss your weight management goals, review your medical history, and determine if Semaglutide is the best option for you.

If Semaglutide is recommended, we will explain how to administer the injections at home and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. You also have the option of receiving injections in person at our clinic. 

Regular follow-up visits will track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed. These appointments also include ongoing support for diet and exercise changes to help you get the most from your treatment.

Potential
Side Effects

Semaglutide is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals might experience:

  • Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially at the start of treatment
  • Temporary fatigue or dizziness
  • Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation

We will address any side effects and make adjustments to help keep you comfortable throughout
the process.

Semaglutide FAQs - Brisk Wellness in Woodlyn

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes, Semaglutide has been approved by the FDA for weight loss and is considered a safe and effective solution when used under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional.

As it is a prescription medication, Semaglutide must be prescribed by a qualified medical professional specializing in weight loss. At Brisk Wellness, we prioritize patient safety by conducting thorough assessments to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment. Our team then creates a tailored plan that aligns with your weight loss goals, ensuring the approach is both medically appropriate and effective.

The FDA has approved Semaglutide for adults in Woodlyn who are 18 years of age or older, with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or greater and are managing weight-related health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, those in Woodlyn with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher may be prescribed Semaglutide for weight loss, even in the absence of any other medical conditions.

However, for individuals in Woodlyn with a history of gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide might not be an appropriate choice. A healthcare provider can assess whether Semaglutide is suitable for you based on your medical history and weight loss objectives.

Patients in Woodlyn are provided with personalized Semaglutide treatment plans tailored to their individual weight loss goals. We consider various factors such as your nutritional habits, physical activity levels, and overall health to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs.

We monitor your progress closely and adjust your plan as needed, ensuring that residents of Woodlyn experience safe and effective weight loss outcomes throughout the process.

Many individuals begin to notice early signs of progress within the first few weeks of using Semaglutide, with long-term weight loss typically becoming apparent over several months. However, personal weight loss goals, lifestyle factors, and medical conditions can all influence the trajectory of each individual’s journey.

The way your body responds to Semaglutide depends on various factors, including age, metabolism, daily habits, and overall health. While many patients experience significant improvements in both weight and A1C levels within weeks, your results will be determined by your specific circumstances and dedication to the process.

Semaglutide injections are designed for convenience, with only one injection required each week. To ensure you feel confident in administering the injections, we will personally guide you through the process. The initial dose is typically given in the clinic, where you can ask questions and become familiar with the technique. Afterward, you can continue the injections comfortably at home, selecting from various sites such as your upper arm, abdomen, or thigh—whichever feels most comfortable for you.
If you happen to miss a dose, don’t worry! Simply contact us as soon as possible, and we will provide guidance on how to proceed. Consistency is important for achieving the best results, and we are here to support you throughout your journey.
To maximize the benefits of Semaglutide, it’s essential to integrate healthy eating and regular exercise into your daily routine. We’ll offer personalized recommendations to help you make positive lifestyle changes that complement your treatment. These adjustments will enhance your progress and help you maintain your weight loss results in the long term.

Some individuals may experience mild side effects when starting Semaglutide, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or mild stomach discomfort. Fortunately, by closely following your personalized treatment plan and giving your body time to adjust, these symptoms can often be minimized.

To ensure a smooth transition, treatment begins with a low dose of 0.25 mg. This gradual introduction helps your body acclimate, minimizing the risk of discomfort. As your progress is closely monitored, your dose may be gradually increased, reaching up to 2.4 mg if needed to achieve optimal results with minimal side effects.

Since weight loss is a personal journey, the duration of Semaglutide treatment is customized to suit your specific needs. Your treatment plan is designed to align with your unique goals, lifestyle habits, and any weight-related challenges you may encounter. As your body adjusts to the medication, we will monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to help you achieve the best possible results. While some patients reach their target weight in a shorter time, others may require additional time to see sustainable changes.

During your consultation, we will discuss your weight loss expectations, estimate a treatment timeline, and make any modifications to your plan to support your progress throughout the process.
