Medical Weight Loss
Semaglutide has brought groundbreaking advancements in weight loss treatments. Initially developed as a GLP-1 receptor agonist for Type 2 diabetes, this medication has demonstrated significant weight loss benefits, with nearly 90% of clinical trial participants losing at least 5% of their body weight. Approved by the FDA in June 2022, Semaglutide works by increasing insulin production, reducing glucagon synthesis, delaying gastric emptying and suppressing hunger, helping you feel full and satisfied.
