Medical weight loss often involves using Semaglutide, a medication approved for weight management. Semaglutide functions by mimicking a hormone that targets the brain cells that regulate appetite, which helps reduce hunger and calorie intake. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing body fat around the abdomen and improving overall body composition.
Medical weight loss is designed for adults who struggle with weight issues and have faced difficulties losing weight through diet and exercise alone. Suitable candidates are typically those with a BMI above 30 or 27 with a metabolic disorder such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
Results can often be seen within a few weeks, with ongoing improvement over months. The duration of the effects varies based on an individual’s continued use of the medication and adherence to lifestyle changes. If you aim for a structured and medically supervised weight loss strategy, booking an appointment at Superior Self Aesthetics and Wellness in Holmdel, NJ, may be your next step toward achieving your health goals.
