Semaglutide Treatment For Weight Loss
Zi MedSpa can help you reach your goals
Originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, semaglutide is a safe and effective prescription medication used for weight management. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar levels. This can help you feel fuller sooner and for longer, making it easier to reduce calorie intake.
Zi MedSpa offers semaglutide treatment to help people reach their weight loss goals.
What happens when I come in for a treatment session?
First, you’ll meet with one of our healthcare professionals to determine if Semaglutide is right for you. We’ll take your medical history and ask about any current medications you are taking. Then we’ll listen to your weight loss goals and discuss your diet and exercise habits.
New patients coming in for Semaglutide are required to have a Semaglutide Panel drawn. They do not get an injection at the first visit. We wait until lab results come in, which takes up to 3 days.
The injection can be given while you are sitting or lying down in a comfortable position. Injections are given in the back part of the arm using an insulin syringe. This is a very small gauge needle, and the injection is basically painless.
When the treatment session is complete, you will be given aftercare instructions.
Semaglutide FAQ
Are there any side effects?
Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, or abdominal discomfort following treatment, but these effects are usually mild and temporary.
How many treatments will I need?
Semaglutide is typically given once a week for weight management. The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your personal goals and your response to the medication. Your healthcare provider can monitor your progress and determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
Is semaglutide treatment safe?
Generally, yes. But factors such as certain medical conditions, other medications being taken, allergies, pregnancy, or breastfeeding may make semaglutide unsuitable. A healthcare professional can determine if it is right for you.

No. Most people who get a semaglutide injection are able to resume their usual activities immediately following treatment. But always follow any aftercare instructions you are given.

Results can vary among individuals. Some people may see noticeable results within a few weeks, while others will take longer. Other factors, such as diet and exercise, play a role. Your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and give you a better idea about the results you can expect.
