What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a breakthrough medication designed to help with weight management and the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It mimics the action of a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels, insulin secretion, and appetite. At Dream Spa Medical, we focus on Semaglutide for weight management, offering a scientifically-backed solution to help you achieve your weight loss goals. This groundbreaking weight loss stimulant offers a solution for individuals struggling to manage their weight. It works by suppressing hunger and reducing cravings, making it easier to adhere to a healthy diet. Additionally, Semaglutide enhances feelings of fullness, which helps in lowering overall calorie intake. This dual action makes it an effective option for sustainable weight loss.
How is Semaglutide Administered?
Semaglutide is available in two forms: a once-weekly injection and a daily oral tablet. The injectable form is typically administered subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Our expert providers will guide you on the appropriate dosage and administration technique.
