Weight Loss - Semaglutide
Agenacare Aesthetics now offers Semaglutide for weight loss. In order to ensure that your weight loss is done in a slow and safe manner, we monitor your labs, discuss nutrition and complete full body scans.
What is semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an injectable medication that is safe, effective, and FDA-approved for weight loss. You’ve likely heard some buzz surrounding this drug, specifically under its brand name Ozempic.
How does it work?
When combined with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, semaglutide aids in healthy weight loss. The drug works by mimicking a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that is released in the gut in response to eating. GLP-1 interacts with the areas of the brain that regulate appetite and signal you to feel full.
In addition to semaglutide, Agenacare Aesthetics offers tirzepatide. This drug activates the body’s receptors for GLP-1, similar to semaglutide, but also activates pathways for glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), which also plays a role in regulating blood sugar and appetite.
For both semaglutide and tirzepatide, patients start with an injection once a week, with the dosage adjusted over time based on the individual patient.
Determining which drug is right for you will happen during a consultation with your provider.
How much does it cost?
Pricing and dosage vary based on the individual patient and their needs. Medical necessity is determined at the time of your assessment and consultation.
