If you are looking for ways to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, our team at Skin Damsel Aesthetics is here to help. We are excited to introduce Semaglutide weight loss injections, a breakthrough solution that helps men and women shed those stubborn pounds and keep them off for good. We invite you to schedule a consultation to get on track to a healthier, more vibrant you!
Semaglutide was initially developed to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, lowering their blood sugar levels and reducing their risk of major cardiovascular events like stroke or heart attack. Treating physicians noticed that while the prescription drug helped increase insulin production and lower blood sugar levels, it also resulted in significant weight loss.
Many clinical studies established the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide before it was approved for chronic weight management in 2021. This innovative weight loss medication helps reduce excess body fat and increases lean body mass. Achieving a healthy weight helps lower the risk of chronic medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Semaglutide is a once-weekly injection. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 or GLP-1 receptor agonist, which works by mimicking the hormone the body naturally produces that sends signals of fullness to the brain. This revolutionary weight loss solution also reduces the speed at which the food passes through the digestive system, leaving you feeling fuller longer, which helps reduce calorie intake.
Aside from regulating appetite, semaglutide slows down the release of sugar into your blood, so you burn more fat. In a clinical study, these highly effective weight loss injections helped men and women lose an average of 9-13 percent of their body weight over a year without making changes to their diet or exercise habits.
While weight loss with semaglutide does not come with food restrictions or exercise requirements, we highly recommend maintaining a healthy, balanced diet and an exercise program to boost your health and enhance your weight loss results. If you've not been exercising lately, walking is a great place to start. Our wellness specialists will help determine if semaglutide is a good fit for you, monitor the progress of your program, and provide support and encouragement along your weight loss journey.
Semaglutide offers numerous benefits. It helps produce a sense of fullness, lowering calorie intake. It also promotes weight loss, improves body composition, reduces excess fat, and helps increase lean muscle mass.
In addition to safe and consistent body weight reduction, patients often experience:
Most people also report better energy, confidence, and day-to-day comfort, especially when paired with strategic lifestyle changes and physical activity. By reducing your appetite and keeping your body in fat-burning mode, semaglutide produces healthy, sustained weight loss, with most people losing at least five percent of their body weight in 12 weeks. Better yet, this innovative weight management option produces fewer side effects than most weight loss drugs.
Candidates for semaglutide injections are men and women with a BMI or body mass index of 30 or higher. It is also suitable for those with a BMI of 27 and higher and at least one weight-related health concern, such as type 2 diabetes, elevated cholesterol, or high blood pressure. However, semaglutide may not be for everyone. Our experienced nurse practitioner will help you determine if semaglutide is right for you.
While the medication regulates hunger and insulin, diet and exercise remain key to long-term success. Our team helps you build sustainable habits around movement, nutrition, and stress so you can maintain weight loss even after stopping the injections.
Semaglutide injections aren’t a “quick fix” but a strategy for long-term health transformation. By developing healthy habits alongside taking medication, patients can lose weight and keep it off—all while reducing their risk of serious health problems like cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and type 2 progression.
Most people begin to see changes in appetite within the first 1–2 weeks. By month one, many experience a visible shift in clothing fit, scale weight, or energy levels. Over several months, patients often experience dramatic weight loss—with studies and clinical trials showing up to 15% body weight reduction in certain cases.
Results depend on consistency, dosing, and lifestyle integration. We will guide you on thoughtfully incorporating healthy habits to help you keep the weight off and enjoy a more active, vibrant quality of life.
