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

Semaglutide FAQs - Brisk Wellness in Media

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes, Semaglutide has been FDA-approved for weight loss, and it is considered both safe and effective when prescribed and managed by a licensed healthcare provider.

As a prescription medication, Semaglutide requires a prescription from a certified medical weight loss expert. At Brisk Wellness, we take the time to evaluate whether Semaglutide is right for you, creating a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique weight loss goals. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way to ensure your success.

Semaglutide has been recommended by the FDA for adults in Media aged 18 or older who have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or higher and are managing a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, individuals in Media with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater can use Semaglutide for weight loss, even if they do not have any other medical conditions.

However, for those in Media with a history of gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide may not be the appropriate treatment. A healthcare provider can guide you in determining whether this medication fits your specific health and weight loss needs.

In Media, patients receive individualized Semaglutide treatment plans designed to help them achieve their specific weight loss goals. We take a comprehensive approach by factoring in your nutritional habits, physical activity levels, and overall health to ensure that the plan is personalized for you.

We track your progress closely and make adjustments to your plan as necessary, ensuring Media residents experience safe, effective weight loss results.

Many individuals notice early signs of progress within the first few weeks, with long-term weight loss typically developing over a period of several months. However, personal weight loss goals, lifestyle challenges, and underlying medical conditions can all impact your unique journey.

Your body’s response to Semaglutide is influenced by factors like age, metabolism, daily habits, and overall health. While numerous patients experience significant improvements in both weight and A1C levels in just a few weeks, your results will depend on your specific situation and dedication to the process.

Semaglutide injections are designed to be convenient, requiring only one injection per week. We want to make sure you feel confident and comfortable, so we will guide you through the process. The first dose is usually administered in the clinic, giving you the chance to ask questions and get comfortable with the technique. Afterward, you can continue with the injections at home, choosing a site that suits you best—whether it’s your upper arm, abdomen, or thigh.
If you happen to miss a dose, don’t worry! Just reach out to us promptly, and we will guide you on the best course of action. Staying consistent is key to achieving great results, and we’ll support you every step of the way.
For optimal results with Semaglutide, it’s important to integrate healthy eating and regular exercise into your daily routine. We’ll give you personalized advice to help you make positive lifestyle changes that work in harmony with your treatment. These adjustments will not only boost your progress but also help you maintain your weight loss results for the long term.

Some individuals may experience mild side effects when starting Semaglutide, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight stomach discomfort. Fortunately, these symptoms are typically mild and can be avoided by sticking to your personalized treatment plan and allowing your body time to adjust.

To ensure a comfortable transition, treatment starts at a low dose of 0.25 mg. This gradual approach allows your body to acclimate, helping minimize any discomfort. As your progress is monitored, your dose may be increased gradually, reaching up to 2.4 mg if necessary, to help you achieve the best results with minimal side effects.

Since weight loss is a deeply personal journey, the duration of Semaglutide treatment is tailored to your unique needs. Your treatment plan will be aligned with your specific goals, lifestyle, and any weight-related challenges you may face. As your body adjusts to the medication, we will monitor your progress and make adjustments to ensure you achieve the best possible results. Some patients may reach their target weight in a shorter period, while others may need more time to see sustained changes.

At your consultation, we will discuss your weight loss goals, provide an estimated treatment timeline, and make any necessary modifications to your plan to support you throughout your journey.
