Semaglutide Injections : What To Know

Updated: Aug 13, 2023

At Wellspring Skincare we take pride in offering cutting-edge treatments designed to enhance your natural beauty and well being. One such innovative offering is Semaglutide, an injectable solution heralded for its weight loss benefits.


Weight loss and maintaining a healthy BMI are critical elements of overall health, and it's our mission to support your journey every step of the way. Let's dive into understanding how Semaglutide could be your next game-changer in your quest for a healthier lifestyle.


What is Semaglutide?


Semaglutide is the active ingredient of the brand name Ozempic (diabetes treatment) and Wegovy (FDA approved for weight loss). It is a medication initially developed to treat type 2 diabetes but has gained significant attention in the medical community for its impressive weight loss potential. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which works by mimicking an intestinal hormone that reduces appetite and improves insulin secretion. In short, it helps to reduce caloric intake.


How Does Semaglutide Work for Weight Loss?


The key to Semaglutide's effectiveness lies in its ability to target your brain's appetite regulation center. It sends signals to your brain, tricking it into feeling full, thus reducing your appetite. Moreover, Semaglutide improves insulin secretion, helping control blood glucose levels and promoting healthier metabolic functioning. These factors combined lead to a gradual, sustainable weight loss, making Semaglutide a promising tool in obesity management.


The Semaglutide Advantage at Wellspring Skincare


As a leading medical aesthetics spa in Roswell, Wellspring Skincare brings a unique edge to Semaglutide treatment:


Physician Managed Program: Your Semaglutide treatment will be managed by Dr. Corey, not an offsite physician you have never met. Dr. Corey has been administering Semaglutide for years in her Primary Care practice, and she is happy to now offer it to our Wellspring patients!


Personalized Care: Every person's journey to weight loss is unique. We tailor each treatment plan to the individual's specific needs, taking into account their medical history, weight loss goals, and lifestyle.


Comprehensive Approach: We believe in holistic care. Alongside Semaglutide injections, we provide nutritional guidance, lifestyle advice, and emotional support to ensure your weight loss journey is successful and sustainable.


Luxurious Setting: Our state-of-the-art facility offers a tranquil, spa-like setting where you can relax as you embark on your wellness journey.


What does the program look like?


To learn all about the Semaglutide program at Wellspring, you can visit the Semaglutide web page. In short, Semaglutide consists of weekly injections, beginning at the lowest dosage and working up until you reach a healthy weight loss rate. After this initial titration phase, you will remain at your maintenance dosage until you have reached your weight loss goal, determined by you and Dr. Corey.


While building up to your maintenance dosage, you will be taught how to inject your self for your maintenance phase, and the medication will be shipped to your door for convenient program adherence.


Is Semaglutide FDA approved?


Wegovy is the only form of Semaglutide with FDA approval for weight loss. Generic Semaglutide is not FDA approved for weight loss at the time of this writing. The source of Semaglutide at Wellspring Skincare is from a compounding pharmacy, with a stellar reputation for providing safe and effective compounded medication.


Potential Side Effects of Semaglutide


While Semaglutide brings substantial potential benefits in the sphere of weight loss, it's essential to consider potential side effects. It's our mission at Wellspring Skincare to ensure you are fully informed about your treatment options.


Common side effects of Semaglutide can include:

  1. Gastrointestinal issues: These can range from mild to severe and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Usually, these symptoms lessen over time as your body adjusts to the medication.

  2. Appetite changes: You may experience decreased appetite, which is a fundamental aspect of how the drug promotes weight loss.

  3. Fatigue: Some patients report feeling tired or fatigued when beginning their Semaglutide treatment.

  4. Dizziness: This might occur, particularly in the early stages of treatment.

Remember, each individual's experience with Semaglutide can differ, and not everyone will encounter these side effects. Some people may experience side effects not listed above.


If you do experience any side effects, Dr. Corey can provide guidance and strategies to manage these side effects and may adjust your dosage as required.
