How does semaglutide work? 

When we eat, our bodies can sense it, and our natural receptors engage the pancreas to begin the creation of the GLP-1 hormone. GLP-1 then seeks out the sugars absorbed by our blood cells and breaks them down to be used and/or stored as energy sources. When semaglutide is introduced into the body, it stimulates and elevates this process, thereby breaking down these blood sugars at an increased rate, which leads to weight loss. 

Is semaglutide effective for weight loss? 

Studies have proved that patients can lose about 20 percent of their total fat mass with weekly semaglutide injections, spread out over approximately a year and a half. That's a pretty incredible result, but all weight loss regimens, even using semaglutide, should be balanced with a healthy diet and a solid exercise program. 

What is the difference between Ozempic and semaglutide? 

Ozempic is a brand-name version of the semaglutide peptide that is distributed by the company Novo Nordisk. 

What is "Ozempic Face" and how can you avoid it? 

When someone experiences significant weight loss, this can cause hollowing and sagging of the skin, especially in the face. Our facial fat provides facial definition and acts as a supporting element for skin elasticity. If we lose a significant portion of this fat and even experience some atrophy of facial skin muscles, this can lead to a hollow, sagging appearance. Our medical providers can combat this with facial fillers that can provide this definition.
