Semaglutide
In Gainesville, FL
The search for patients to find effective and safe weight loss treatment can seem unending.
But North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics offers an effective, FDA-approved medication known as semaglutide as part of our customized weight loss programs with real results you can see and feel. Semaglutide weight loss treatment, commercially known as Wegovy, is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased exercise.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of prescription medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs.
This medication mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone, which is released as a response to eating. GLP-1 encourages the body to produce a greater amount of insulin, reducing glucose (blood sugar) levels.
In higher amounts, this chemical interacts with the areas of the brain that suppress appetite and provide a feeling of fullness. When used in combination with diet modifications and increased physical activity, a semaglutide injection can cause significant weight loss, as well as decreased risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease in people with obesity or overweight.
The semaglutide treatment program consists of one month of prescription weight loss medication, weight loss guidance by your medical provider and health monitoring.
As the semaglutide dosage increases, there is an increase in monthly cost.
We offer comprehensive weight loss services that are fully customizable to your unique needs and desires. A risk-free consultation is $75.
If you’d like to proceed with treatment at your consultation after meeting with one of our advanced medical providers, you will receive a personalized treatment plan and 4 weeks of medication dispensed on-site.
