Is Semaglutide Painful?

Many of our patients are able to adjust to their semaglutide treatments with few issues, though the initial few weeks may be slightly uncomfortable as your body adjusts to the medication. This is normal as your body begins to change its hormonal and metabolic states. Most semaglutide treatments require little recovery or downtime following the injection.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

This will require weekly injections that will vary per patient’s health profile and weight loss goals. Your provider will be able to provide you with an estimate of the number of appointments necessary for your semaglutide treatment plan at the time of your personal consultation.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Some patients may even experience weight loss beginning in the first week of treatment. Discontinuing semaglutide treatments may result in regaining any weight lost during the treatment plan.
