The Semaglutide Treatment Process
Step 1: Consultation
Semaglutide works best for clients whose BMI is greater than 27 and those who have struggled with obesity for a long time. Before you begin your semaglutide treatment, we sit down with you in a consultation to thoroughly understand your situation, your goals, and your medical history. We will make sure semaglutide is the best option for you and your weight loss goals.
Step 2: Starting Your Treatment
Treatments for semaglutide in Chicago are prescribed weekly over the course of several months. Your practitioner will teach you how to administer your injections so you can take them in the comfort of your own home. You can expect to start seeing results after you have been taking semaglutide for a few weeks. The length of the treatment period varies depending on your personal weight loss goals.
Step 3: Follow-Up
We measure your progress through repeat testing to determine what is or isn't working for you. Although medications can help you lose weight quickly, sustainable weight loss takes time to establish healthy habits. In conjunction with other aspects of wellness, such as physical rehabilitation, we help you revitalize your lifestyle so you can become your very best.

Frequently Asked Questions About Semaglutide in Chicago
Frequently Asked Questions
Semaglutide is an appetite suppressor. It is designed to work in a similar way to the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1.
This hormone is naturally produced in the small intestine. Its main responsibility is to control blood sugar levels by encouraging the production of insulin and limiting the production of glucagon. This hormone also signals appetite messages to the brain, communicating when the stomach is full.
Semaglutide communicates this “I’m feeling full” message to the brain, making you feel full sooner and your appetite satisfied for longer. Semaglutide has helped many of our clients to regulate their eating habits, leading to significant weight loss.
Yes! Semaglutide was approved by the FDA in 2021 for weight loss. Semaglutide has since helped many Americans reach their weight loss goals.
Every patient is different, so results will vary. Your body will need time to adjust to the medication. However, our clients tend to notice initial results after a few weeks of treatment.
The duration of your results is highly dependent on the lifestyle changes you make. Semaglutide in Chicago makes it easier to modify your diet and establish healthy habits, but you will only feel the appetite-suppressing effects while receiving the medication.
If the changes to your diet and exercise routine are not maintained following your treatment, you can regain the weight you lost. Therefore, our team is happy to work with you to implement changes that work and support long-term results!
Semaglutide is a long-term treatment. You can expect to take injections weekly over the course of several months.
Semaglutide treatment can involve gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and stomach pain. These side effects occur more often at the beginning of treatment, when the body is getting used to the medication. Side effects normally decrease over the course of treatment.
