Boost confidence while supporting sustainable weight loss with semaglutide at True Skin & Wellness. This injectable medication helps regulate appetite and cravings, making it easier to stay on track with your dietary plan and manage weight sustainably.
Regulate Appetite and Reduce Cravings
Semaglutide is a prescription medication that helps support weight loss by working with your body’s natural hunger signals. It mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and reduce cravings, so you feel fuller sooner and stay satisfied. Semaglutide is taken as a weekly injection and is most effective when paired with healthy habits and guidance from our providers.
Semaglutide Helps With:
- Excess weight and obesity
- Stubborn, hard-to-lose fat
- Persistent food cravings
- Increased appetite and frequent hunger
- Overeating and portion control challenges
- Insulin resistance and blood sugar concerns
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1 that helps control hunger and blood sugar levels. It sends signals to your brain that you’re full, slows how quickly food leaves your stomach, and reduces spikes in blood sugar after eating. These effects help you feel satisfied with smaller portions of food and experience fewer cravings. Over time, this makes it easier to maintain a calorie deficit without feeling constantly hungry, allowing your body to use stored fat for energy and support sustainable weight loss.
Benefits of Semaglutide:
- Helps reduce appetite and cravings
- Supports steady, sustainable weight loss
- Simple once-weekly injection
- Helps you feel full longer after meals
- Can improve blood sugar control
- Non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment
- Works well alongside healthy lifestyle changes
Your Semaglutide Experience
Consultation
You’ll start with a relaxed, one-on-one visit with one of our providers where we talk through your health history, current medications, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. We’ll review any recent labs or determine if testing is needed, explain how semaglutide works, and answer your questions. Together, we’ll decide if you’re a good candidate and create a personalized plan.
Treatment
Once you’re prescribed semaglutide, your provider starts you on a low dose and gradually increases it over time to help minimize side effects. You’ll be shown exactly how to give yourself the quick, tiny injection at home: most patients are pros after the first demo. You’ll take it once weekly, on the same day each week. We schedule regular follow-ups to check progress, adjust dosing if needed, review side effects, and keep your plan feeling just right.
Side Effects
The most common side effects with semaglutide are mild and often temporary, including nausea, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. Starting at a low dose and slowly increasing helps keep things comfortable. Staying hydrated, eating smaller meals, and choosing protein-rich foods can also make a big difference. Our providers check in regularly to see how you’re feeling and tweak your plan if needed to mitigate side effects.
Results
Many people notice appetite changes within the first few weeks, with visible weight loss often starting around weeks four to six. On average, patients may lose 10-15% of their body weight over several months, though some lose more with consistent use and lifestyle support. The results vary based on your body, dosing, and habits, but steady progress is the goal.
