Non-Surgical Weight Loss Treatments

For many individuals, losing weight can often be achieved with relative ease through diet and exercise. However, as we age, factors like hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle changes can make weight loss increasingly challenging. Non-surgical options such as GLP-1 receptor agonists can effectively aid in shedding pounds and maintaining a healthy weight.

Weight loss injections are medical treatments designed to help individuals lose weight by targeting various physiological processes. These injections often involve medications that suppress appetite, increase metabolism, or alter how the body processes food.

Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. It enhances insulin secretion, making it beneficial for diabetes management. However, at higher doses, it targets brain centers to suppress appetite, aiding patients in maintaining a significantly reduced calorie diet.

Weight gain and loss are influenced by hormones, age, and lifestyle, often making it challenging to lose weight despite a good diet and exercise. Semaglutide has been proven effective in shedding those stubborn pounds. This medication is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection, with the dosage increasing every four weeks or as prescribed by your Rejuvenated medical provider.

On average, individuals using Semaglutide lose about 15% of their initial body fat after 16 weeks. To sustain these results, it is crucial to use this medication alongside lifestyle changes.

Benefits of Weight Loss Injections

Weight loss injections may offer an additional tool in your journey towards a healthier weight. Here are some benefits you can enjoy:

  • Targeted weight loss: You may find that these injections help reduce fat specifically in targeted areas, assisting in the contouring of your body.

  • Appetite control: Many weight loss injections work by regulating hormones involved in hunger and satiety, which can help reduce your appetite and lead to a lower caloric intake.

  • Improved metabolic function: Some injections have been found to help improve your metabolism, which can increase the rate at which your body uses energy, possibly aiding in weight management.

Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections might be a viable option for you if you're seeking a medical approach to assist in managing your weight. Here are some factors to consider:

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

  • BMI Considerations: Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is often crucial. If your BMI is 30 or above, or 27 and above, with weight-related conditions like hypertension or type 2 diabetes, you might be eligible.

  • Previous Efforts: You should have a history of trying to lose weight through diet and exercise without significant or sustained results.

  • Your Commitment: Regular follow-ups and a willingness to maintain a healthier lifestyle, including diet and exercise, are essential for the therapy to work effectively.

    DISQUALIFYING FACTORS

  • Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as a history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), may disqualify you.

  • Pregnancy: Being pregnant or planning to become pregnant disqualifies you from using weight loss injections.

  • Allergies: If you have a known allergy to the active ingredients in the injection, they are not an option for you.

Expected Results from Weight Loss Injections

When considering weight loss injections, it's essential to set realistic expectations. The results can vary based on your health profile, lifestyle, and adherence to treatment guidelines. Here are some general results you can expect from our weight loss injection program:

  • Moderate Weight Loss: You may expect to lose a modest amount of weight. Studies show an average of 5-10% body weight reduction over six months to a year.

  • Gradual Progress: The weight loss process with injections is typically gradual, encouraging healthy and sustainable practices.

  • Initial Changes: Some initial changes might be noticeable within the first few weeks.

  • Long-term Results: More significant and stable results are often observed over several months of consistent use.

  • Decreased Risk: Along with weight loss, there's a potential reduction in health risks associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

  • Improved Metabolism: These injections can also lead to better metabolism regulation.

For optimal results, combine injections with a balanced diet and regular exercise. When you choose us for your weight loss injections, you’ll work closely with an experienced healthcare provider to tailor the treatment to your needs.
