Medical Weight Loss
Losing weight and, more importantly, keeping weight off can be complicated. Factors that include age-related slowing metabolism, yo-yo dieting, and simple genetic factors all contribute to weight gain during our lifetime. Significant weight gain can be added by simply adding 5 pounds a year for 10 years. For the longest time, the only effective long-term medical treatment offered for weight loss was bariatric surgery. For many people, it was either too scary or simply not an option financially. We are happy to provide a new, effective, and affordable weight loss and management treatment.
Semaglutide ( GLP-1)
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1. These GLP-1s have been safely used for years to help control type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar. However, in recent years, we have learned that GLP-1s in higher amounts also interact with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full.
Semaglutide is a once-weekly, almost painless injection that will melt away unwanted weight without hunger or cravings. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss.
