Are you struggling to safely and effectively lose weight and achieve your New Year's resolution? Semaglutide, also known as Ozempic or Wegovy, maybe the solution you're looking for. This prescription medication is the newest peptide that everyone is talking about, including Kim K and Elon Musk. At About Face Aesthetics & Wellness Medical Spa in Union & Columbia, SC, we offer Semaglutide as a safe and effective option for weight loss.

So how does Semaglutide work? It mimics the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and metabolism. By making you feel full after eating less food, Semaglutide promotes fat loss and increases metabolism, leading to weight loss.

Originally trialed as a treatment for diabetes in 2014, Semaglutide was later approved by the FDA for weight loss in June 2021. Studies have shown that Semaglutide is effective at helping people lose up to 20% of their baseline body weight, as well as improving cardiometabolic risk factors and increasing physical activity.

Although Semaglutide does have some side effects, such as mild to moderate gastrointestinal disorders and headaches, these are typically temporary and less serious than the negative effects of obesity. However, it is not suitable for everyone, including those with certain medical conditions or a history of certain types of cancer.

If you're interested in starting your weight loss journey with Semaglutide, our team at About Face Aesthetics & Wellness Medical Spa can help. During your complimentary online consultation with our nurse practitioner, you'll need to provide a medical history, thyroid panel (TSH), and diabetic A1C test. You can request these through your primary care physician. We'll then schedule an injection education appointment, where you'll learn how to administer Semaglutide and receive your vial of the medication.

Don't let weight loss struggles hold you back any longer. Contact us today to book your consultation and get started on your journey with Semaglutide.
