What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a class of medications that were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. These medications mimic the action of a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. By enhancing the body’s natural processes, Semaglutide help to control blood sugar, reduce hunger, and promote a feeling of fullness after meals. Semaglutide is approved for managing diabetes and is also used as a treatment option for weight management.

History of Semaglutide

In 2021, the FDA approved Semaglutide for chronic weight management under the brand name Wegovy, recognizing its potential to help individuals achieve substantial and sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. Please note that compounded medications offered through our services are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality. We encourage patients to consult with their healthcare provider to understand the risks and benefits of compounded medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Semaglutides work by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. This leads to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness, making it easier to consume fewer calories and lose weight.

Semaglutide offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to manage their weight and improve their overall health:

  • Effective Weight Loss: Clinical trials have shown that Semaglutide can help individuals lose a significant percentage of their body weight, making it one of the most effective weight loss medications available.
  • Appetite Control: By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, Semaglutides help regulate appetite, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet and avoid overeating.
  • Improved Metabolic Health: In addition to promoting weight loss, Semaglutides can improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even in non-diabetic individuals.
  • Long-Lasting Results: When used as part of a comprehensive weight management program, Semaglutides can help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals over the long term.
  • Non-Surgical Option: Semaglutide offers a non-invasive alternative to weight loss surgery, with minimal side effects and no downtime.

Semaglutide is typically recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have obesity-related health conditions such as hypertension or type 2 diabetes. A consultation with our team at Figura Medspa will determine if Semaglutide is right for you. Candidacy is determined by medical evaluation. Not every patient is a candidate.

Our medical staff ensures you are well-informed about administering your medication through:

Physician Consultation: During your visit, the physician will explain how much to take, how often, why the medication is prescribed, and potential side effects.

Written Instructions: You’ll receive clear, detailed instructions from the pharmacy, including dosage, storage, administration steps, and side effects.

Ongoing Support: We provide contact information for both the prescribing provider and the pharmacy for any questions.

Please review the materials provided by the pharmacy with each prescription refill, as they contain specific instructions to ensure you have up-to-date guidance.

Common side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, and mild digestive discomfort, which often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Our team will monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to minimize side effects.

Weight loss with Semaglutide varies by individual, but many patients begin to see results within the first few weeks of treatment. Consistent use, along with healthy lifestyle changes, will maximize your results over time.

Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are both in the class of drugs known as incretin mimetics but there are some differences between the two. While semaglutide acts only on GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Both are effective treatments for weight loss, however responses to these medications may vary depending on the individual, as with any other medication. Our licensed medical team will work with you to find the option that is safest and most effective in achieving your weight-loss goals.

Semaglutide, a medication primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity, has gained considerable attention for its effectiveness. However, one key consideration for many prospective users is the cost associated with this treatment. On average, the price of semaglutide can range from $300 to $600 per month, depending on factors such as the dosage prescribed and the pharmacy from which it is purchased.

It’s important to note that these prices can vary widely based on geographic location, pharmacy pricing policies, and the presence of any manufacturer discounts or patient assistance programs

Before prescribing semaglutide, your doctor / medical weight loss professional will evaluate several factors, including your overall health, existing medical conditions, concurrent medications, and any allergies you may have. It’s essential to be upfront about your health history, as conditions like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 can disqualify you from using this medication. Regular follow-up appointments will also be necessary to monitor your response to the drug and manage potential side effects. Candidacy is determined by medical evaluation. Not every patient is a candidate.
