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 Ridley Park

Is Semaglutide safe for weight loss?

Yes, Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight loss and is proven to be both safe and effective when administered under the care of a licensed healthcare provider.

Semaglutide is available only through prescription, which means it must be prescribed by a qualified medical weight loss professional. At Brisk Wellness, we understand that each weight loss journey is unique, so we start by carefully assessing if this treatment aligns with your needs. From there, we create a personalized regimen designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals in a safe and sustainable way.

Semaglutide is recommended by the FDA for adults in Ridley Park who are 18 years of age or older, with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m² or greater, especially if they are managing weight-related health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or Type 2 diabetes. For individuals with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher, Semaglutide is also approved for weight loss, even if there is no underlying medical condition.

However, for those in Ridley Park with a history of gallbladder disease, multiple endocrine neoplasia Type-2 syndrome, or thyroid cancer, Semaglutide may not be the best treatment. A healthcare provider can help you determine if this weight loss treatment aligns with your health history and goals.

In Ridley Park, we provide patients with Semaglutide treatment plans that are customized to fit their personal weight loss goals. By considering your nutritional choices, activity levels, and general health, we create a treatment plan that is uniquely suited to you.

We track your progress consistently and adjust the plan as necessary, helping Ridley Park residents reach safe and effective weight loss results throughout their journey.

Many individuals begin to notice early signs of progress within the first few weeks, while long-term weight loss typically unfolds over the course of several months. However, personal weight loss goals, lifestyle habits, and medical conditions can all contribute to shaping your unique weight loss journey.

Your body’s response to Semaglutide will be influenced by factors like age, metabolism, daily habits, and overall health. While many patients see significant improvements in both weight and A1C levels early on, your results will depend on your unique situation and the dedication you bring to the process.

Semaglutide injections offer convenience, requiring only one injection per week. To ensure you’re confident, we will walk you through the process. The first dose is given in the clinic, where you can ask questions and get familiar with the injection technique. After that, you can comfortably continue at home, choosing from injection sites like your upper arm, abdomen, or thigh—whichever feels most comfortable for you.
If you miss a dose, don’t stress! Simply reach out to us as soon as you can, and we’ll offer guidance on the next steps. Consistency is essential to get the best results, and we’re here to help you stay on track every step of the way.
To get the maximum benefit from Semaglutide, it’s vital to include healthy eating and consistent exercise in your daily routine. We’ll offer customized recommendations to guide you in making lifestyle changes that align with your treatment. These adjustments will not only accelerate your progress but also help you maintain your weight loss results over time.

When beginning Semaglutide, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, constipation, or slight stomach discomfort. These symptoms are usually short-lived and can be avoided by following your personalized treatment plan and giving your body time to adjust.

To ensure a smooth start, treatment begins with a low dose of 0.25 mg. This gradual approach helps your body adjust to the medication, minimizing the chance of discomfort. As your progress is monitored, your dose may be gradually increased, reaching up to 2.4 mg if necessary, to achieve the best possible results with minimal side effects.

Because weight loss is a personal journey, the length of your Semaglutide treatment is customized to suit your specific needs. Your treatment plan will be designed with your individual goals, lifestyle habits, and any weight-related challenges you may face in mind. As your body adjusts to the medication, we’ll monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to help you achieve the best possible results. Some patients may reach their target weight more quickly, while others may need additional time to experience lasting changes.

At your consultation, we will discuss your weight loss goals, estimate a treatment timeline, and adjust your plan as needed to keep you on track toward achieving your objectives.
