Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about semaglutide, its benefits, and what to expect during treatment.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes management. It has gained significant attention for its effectiveness in weight loss and is now FDA-approved for chronic weight management under the brand name Wegovy™.
How Semaglutide works:
- GLP-1 receptor agonist: Semaglutide mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).
- Appetite regulation: It acts on receptors in the brain that control appetite and food intake.
- Slowed digestion: Semaglutide slows down stomach emptying, leading to increased feelings of fullness.
- Blood sugar control: It helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion.
- Metabolic effects: The medication may increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation.
Key features of Semaglutide:
- Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
- Gradual dose escalation to minimize side effects
- Long half-life, allowing for consistent effects throughout the week
Benefits of Semaglutide for weight loss:
- Significant weight reduction: Clinical trials show an average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 68 weeks
- Improved cardiovascular risk factors
- Better glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Potential improvements in obesity-related comorbidities
Key advantages:
- More effective than most other weight loss medications
- Once-weekly dosing for convenience
- Potential for long-term use in chronic weight management
Semaglutide stands out due to its remarkable efficacy in clinical trials, showing weight loss results that approach those of bariatric surgery in some patients. It offers a non-surgical option for significant weight reduction, particularly for individuals who have struggled with other weight loss methods.
The timeline for seeing results with Semaglutide and the duration of its use can vary based on individual factors. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown:
Timeline for results:
- Initial effects:
- Appetite suppression: Often noticed within the first 1-2 weeks
- Early weight loss: Some patients report weight loss starting in the first month
- Significant weight loss:
- 3 months: Average weight loss of 5-10% of body weight
- 6 months: Many patients achieve 10-15% weight loss
- 12-16 months: Peak weight loss, often 15-20% of initial body weight
- Maintenance phase:
- After reaching maximum weight loss, typically around 68 weeks (16 months)
Factors affecting the speed of results:
- Starting weight and BMI
- Adherence to dosing schedule
- Diet and exercise habits
- Individual metabolic factors
- Presence of comorbidities (e.g., diabetes)
Duration of use:
- FDA approval: Semaglutide is approved for long-term use in chronic weight management
- Indefinite use: Some patients may need to continue the medication indefinitely to maintain weight loss
- Discontinuation effects: Weight regain is common if the medication is stopped
Recommended usage patterns:
- Initial phase: Dose escalation over 16-20 weeks to reach the full therapeutic dose
- Maintenance phase: Continued use at the full dose
- Regular monitoring: Ongoing evaluations by healthcare providers to assess efficacy and safety
Considerations for long-term use:
- Annual reassessment of the treatment plan
- Monitoring for potential side effects
- Adjusting dosage based on weight loss progress and tolerance
Maximizing and maintaining results:
- Combine with lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise)
- Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers
- Addressing any side effects promptly
- Consistent, long-term adherence to the treatment plan
It’s important to note that Semaglutide is not a quick fix but rather a tool for long-term weight management. The best results are seen when the medication is used in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes.
Discontinuation considerations:
- Gradual weight regain is common if Semaglutide is stopped
- Some patients may transition to intermittent use or lower maintenance doses
- Decisions about discontinuation should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider
Remember, the journey with Semaglutide is highly individualized. While many patients see significant results within the first few months, the full benefits often develop over a year or more. Your healthcare provider can help create a personalized treatment plan and set realistic expectations based on your specific health profile and weight loss goals.
While Semaglutide has shown significant efficacy for weight loss, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and risks. Here’s a comprehensive overview:
Common side effects (usually mild to moderate and often improving over time):

Specific considerations:
- Gastrointestinal side effects: Most common in the first few weeks and often improve with time
- Risk of dehydration: Due to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Nutritional concerns: Rapid weight loss may lead to nutritional deficiencies if not properly managed
To minimize risks:
- Start with a low dose and gradually increase (dose titration)
- Stay well-hydrated

- Avoid fatty or spicy foods if they trigger nausea
- Regular monitoring by healthcare provider

Contraindications: Semaglutide should not be used in individuals with:

Long-term safety:

- Ongoing research is evaluating long-term cardiovascular outcomes
It’s crucial to have thorough discussions with your healthcare provider about your medical history, current medications, and any concerns before starting Semaglutide. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor for side effects and adjust treatment as needed.
Remember, many side effects are manageable and often improve over time. The benefits of significant weight loss should be weighed against the potential risks and side effects for each individual patient. Your healthcare provider can help you make an informed decision based on your specific health profile and weight loss goals.

REAL STORIES, UNREAL RESULTS.


i have had previous lip filler and thought i needed more. summer educated me and helped my achieve fuller lips through dissolving and i loved it! i also came in thinking i needed facial filler as i lost about 30 pounds with facial volume loss. instead she educated me and we did sculptra! love seeing summer

I love Summer. She always takes great care of me with excellent service and outstanding customer services. Everyone is incredible friendly and they make you feel special. Thank you for taking such a good care of me.

Summer has been doing my lips for about 5 years now. I’ve moved to California but will definitely fly back for my touch ups, I won’t let anyone else touch them but her! She’s very accommodating and her staff is so nice. 100% would recommend Summer Aesthetics!

Nikki is absolutely incredible. She took so much time to walk me through different options and guided me in the most honest and genuine way. I got lip filler and they look SO good. She is kind and easy to work with. There is nobody else in the world I would trust to make me feel even more beautiful for my wedding in a few months. Go see her!! You won’t regret it.

Nikki at Summer aesthetics is the best! She’s a licensed PA so it makes me feel super confident in her ability to know what I need. Not only that but her taste is impeccable so keeping me looking fresh and young vs over down is such a talent of hers. Even my boyfriend is hooked! Everyone at the clinic is welcoming and knowledgeable. The monthly member ship is so worth it also. Think of it like a discounted payment plan. That way when I go in my services are already paid for!

I recommend Summer Aesthetics all of the time, but more specifically Maddy and Taryn. They’re quite a team! Maddy is very personable, knowledgable and overall my go-to injector, while Taryn is the esthetician of your dreams! These women take such great care of you and align every treatment with your long-term goals. You can trust this team will get you looking and feeling right. (:

Fantastic service, quality and atmosphere. Summer is the best and her staff are great!

This is by far my very best experience! The care and professionalism, as well as results are wonderful. I highly recommend Summer.

WOW Summer Aesthetics is an EXCEPTIONAL experience … in fact the BEST!! Amazing , professional and beautiful staff. You will be seen and heard in the lovely environment catered to their clientele…. Everyone has an idea of what end result they want to see… Summer walked me thru the latest and most effective treatment options available. Not wanting to look “plastic” or “ unnatural” I went with her suggestions and am thrilled! 🫶🏼💞 DON’T SETTLE ! If you want the BEST visit Summer Aesthetic!

I can't say enough about Summer. I would follow her to the moon. To say she is one of the most impressive ambitious people I've met would be an understatement. I have watched her become a pillar in the skin care industry. I'm so proud of her!

I had a wonderful experience! They explained everything, answered all my questions, and made me feel very comfortable. Excited to go back!

I've been seeing Maddy for the past year and a half, and I can confidently say she is THE best of the best. From day one, she's made me feel completely comfortable, heard, and understood. She has made me feel so confident in my skin. She is so so sweet and i always look forward to seeing her! Everyone at Summer Aesthetics is welcoming and so so sweet! Such a wonderful experience everytime.

This was my first visit Summer aesthetics to get a Botox treatment, and I was extremely happy with how Maddy was so professional and caring. She had a very nice technique of applying ice and making it a much more pleasant experience. I’m very happy with my results and will return for more treatments!

Maddy does incredible work! She is well educated, thorough, trustworthy, and excellent at her craft. She gives honest opinions on what will suit you the best, and listens to your wants/concerns. She is gentle and uses distraction techniques so there is minimal discomfort with injection! I trust her completely and am always so satisfied with what she does, I can't wait to see the results of my Botox this time! I would recommend her to anybody! To top it off, the new location for Summer Aesthetics is absolutely gorgeous!

I’ve been getting injected by Nikki for going on 3 years now of course I followed her to Summer Med Spa! She is so understanding of my fear of needles and communicates with me perfectly to achieve the looks I want with the least amount of pain and anxiety possible. She’s also very conscious of my anatomy and does not overfill my lips as to not cause migration. I would recommend Nikki for anybody who is scared to get Botox/filler for the first time or just anybody looking for a new amazing injector💖

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Summer, with Nikki as my provider! She’s incredibly sweet and professional, which put me at ease. What I appreciate most is her honesty — she was upfront about the benefits and limitations of the different treatment options I was considering. I trust her with my face, which is really saying something! If you’re looking for an aesthetics provider who is skilled, genuine, and truly cares about helping you look your best, Nikki is that person.

I’ve been going to Summer for my med spa needs for 6 years and to say she is the BEST is an understatement. I love her approach on less is more and having a more natural approach on beauty. She will always be honest about what looks good or what is too much. On top of her professionalism I always leave feeling so taken care of by her and her team! I walk in the door and they greet me like I’m their best friend that they haven’t seen in forever!!! Truly such an amazing environment to be in. Don’t think about booking…JUST DO IT!

I cannot recommend Summer Aesthetics enough! This team is amazing and has so much to offer for whatever your personal aesthetic goals are; and the whole team is SO sweet. Nikki has been my injector for years now, she keeps me looking like a better (and younger) version of myself and is always so informative about options and treatment plans that progress with my goals. She is also an absolute joy, makes my day every time I see her!

My experience at Summer Aesthetics has been amazing! I cannot thank Maddy enough for how amazing she has made my first time getting Botox feel! She is very knowledgeable and patient everytime I’m there :)
