First let us discuss what semaglutide is and the unique mechanism that makes it a great weight loss tool.

 

What is semaglutide:

Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone naturally produced in the body and released after a meal. One of the mechanisms of this hormone is causing the slowing down of the emptying of the stomach. Another mechanism is signaling to the brain, so you get the feeling of being full. These two mechanisms, in addition to many other, help in creating a calorie deficit helping in weight loss.

What does the treatment look like?

The treatment is administered as a subcutaneous self-injection that is typically prescribed to be done once a week. If you are looking for semaglutide in Bloomfield Michigan, make sure to inquire regarding our weight loss program at Elysium Medical Spa in West Bloomfield Michigan.

 What do I need to get started?

Before starting your weightless journey, you will need to meet with your provider to ensure that they do an initial screening to determine candidacy. This is usually done in the form of initial consultation at which your labs are carefully reviewed, your medical and family history and the side effects associated with the medication are discussed. Do not start unless all your questions are answered and your concerns are addressed. If you are looking for semaglutide in Bloomfield Michigan, make sure to schedule a consultation with our medical director. At Elysium Medical Spa in west Bloomfield, Michigan, our medical director is board certified in Internal Medicine and does a thorough overview of your qualifications for semaglutide.

What does the course of the treatment look like?

Typically, the medical provider would start you at the lowest dose and then increase your dose incrementally month by month until reaching the maximum dose. If you reach your highest dose before you reach your goal weight, you continue at the highest dose until you reach that goal. At Elysium Medical Spa in west Bloomfield, we do a monthly check in with our doctor to ensure patients are tolerating dose, are not experiencing any side effects, and if its appropriate to move up on their dose.

 

What are the side effects?

An important factor when choosing a provider is to ensure they initially discuss all side effects. In addition, they must have a form of contact with the provider if experiencing any side effects. At Elysium  Medical Spa in west Bloomfield Michigan, we have a HIPAA compliant text line where you can text any time with any concerns.

Other things to consider
