Elevation Medical Weight Loss is implementing a new program in our weight loss facilities. We will be offering Semaglutide, which is a once-weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) weight loss injection.
Semaglutide has been around for many years to help diabetic patients control their blood sugar levels. This injection was also found to reduce weight. Since diabetic patients started losing weight on Semaglutide, it was studied to be used as a weight-loss injectable medication.
Semaglutide is 94% similar to natural human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which decreases blood sugar levels in a glucose-dependent manner by enhancing the secretion of insulin. GLP-1 acts as a physiological regulator of appetite and thereby reducing food intake by reducing feelings of hunger and increasing feelings of fullness/satiety.
Patients can choose to receive Semaglutide for only 1 week as a trial for $90. Please be advised that Semaglutide is dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose will be and up to 2.4mg/week.
Patients who have a history or diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN II) are not eligible to receive Semaglutide.
Semaglutide can be used in conjunction with HCG, Phentermine, and/or Sermorelin for the best results.
