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

- Mild nausea or upset stomach, especially at the start of treatment

Semaglutide FAQs - Brisk Wellness in Philadelphia
Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?
Yes, Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight loss and is recognized as both safe and effective when administered by a licensed healthcare provider.
Since it is available only by prescription, Semaglutide must be prescribed by a qualified medical weight loss expert. At Brisk Wellness, we carefully evaluate each patient to ensure suitability for the treatment, followed by creating a personalized plan that supports your weight loss journey, all while maintaining the highest medical standards.
Am I a good candidate for Semaglutide in Philadelphia?
Semaglutide is recommended by the FDA for adults in Philadelphia who are 18 or older, with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or more, especially if they have a weight-related health condition like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. For those in Philadelphia with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater, Semaglutide can also be used for weight loss without any additional medical conditions.
However, if you live in Philadelphia and have had gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide may not be the right treatment for you. A healthcare provider can help you evaluate whether Semaglutide fits your health and weight loss goals.
How is my treatment regimen for Semaglutide created?
In Philadelphia, patients receive customized Semaglutide treatment plans that are designed to support their personal weight loss objectives. Our approach takes into account your eating habits, exercise routine, and general health, ensuring that your treatment is suited to your unique requirements.
We continually monitor your progress, making any necessary adjustments to your plan to help Philadelphia residents achieve safe, sustainable, and effective weight loss results.
How soon will I see results with Semaglutide injections?
Many individuals begin seeing early signs of progress within the first few weeks, and long-term weight loss usually becomes more noticeable over several months. However, your personal weight loss goals, lifestyle habits, and any medical conditions can all influence how quickly you progress.
Your body’s response to Semaglutide will depend on a number of factors such as age, metabolism, daily habits, and overall health. While many patients notice substantial improvements in both weight and A1C levels within weeks, your results will be tailored to your individual situation and how committed you are to the process.
How are the injections administered?
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Do I need to follow a specific diet with Semaglutide?
Are there any side effects with Semaglutide?
Some individuals may notice mild side effects when they begin Semaglutide, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight stomach discomfort. Fortunately, these symptoms are usually temporary and can be avoided by following your personalized treatment plan and allowing your body time to adjust.
To ease this process, treatment starts at a low dose of 0.25 mg. This slow introduction helps your body adapt and reduces the likelihood of discomfort. Your dose will be carefully monitored and gradually increased, potentially reaching 2.4 mg, to ensure the best results with minimal side effects.
How long should I take Semaglutide?
Weight loss is a highly personal experience, which is why the length of Semaglutide treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Your treatment plan is crafted to align with your goals, lifestyle, and any weight-related challenges you may face. As you adapt to the medication, we will closely monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary to ensure you reach optimal results. Some patients achieve their target weight quickly, while others may need additional time to see lasting changes.
At your consultation, we will set realistic weight loss expectations, estimate a treatment timeline, and adjust your plan as needed to ensure you stay on track.
