What is semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a weight loss injection (similar to tirzepatide) designed to manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. It’s a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that doubles as a weight loss medication when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. It’s especially useful for obese individuals at risk of heart attack and stroke.

What are the benefits of semaglutide?

The benefits to expect when choosing semaglutide injections at Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions include:

• Highly effective, long-lasting results
• Reduced chronic disease risk factors
• Improved disease management
• Reduced appetite
• Easier weight loss
• Greater self-confidence
• Better quality of life
• Lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol
• Mood improvements

You can meet with your weight loss provider in person or virtually from the comfort of your home or another location of choice. 

Am I a candidate for semaglutide?

Many overweight and obese adults and some overweight teenagers are candidates for weight loss injections at Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions — especially those at risk of chronic disease complications. 

Your weight loss provider evaluates your weight and body mass index (BMI), checks your vital signs, completes a physical exam, and discusses your medications, lifestyle habits, medical history, and goals. You may also need blood testing or other diagnostic tests. 

In addition to semaglutide, Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions offers phentermine, tirzepatide, nutrition counseling, custom nutrition plans, dietary supplements, personal training, and other components of medically supervised weight loss programs. The practice uses a concierge medicine model, providing telehealth options in addition to in-person appointments. 

What should I expect when using semaglutide?

Follow the Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions team’s instructions when administering semaglutide injections yourself. They can show you how to do so during your initial appointment. Simply inject the medication into your abdomen, upper arm, or thigh and rotate the areas injected regularly. You might lose 1-5 pounds weekly, depending on your specific program. 

Follow up with the Crystal Clear Weight Loss Solutions experts to ensure an effective outcome, and call the office at any time with concerns or questions.
