Weight Loss

Studio R Aesthetics is proud to offer weight loss treatment with semaglutide, an FDA-approved medication that can significantly reduce unwanted fat. Semaglutide is a once a week subcutaneous injection that suppresses appetite and hunger cravings through the appetite center in the brain. This means that patients taking semaglutide feel full earlier in a meal so they eat fewer calories. It also suppresses cravings so that you are less likely to eat the types of food that lead to weight gain that contain high levels of simple carbohydrates and unhealthy fats.

Semaglutide is a generic medication that is the same as Wegovy and Ozempic, which has been used in diabetics to reduce weight for more than 10 years.

We are now offering Virtual Consultations throughout Virginia!

Effects of once-weekly semaglutide on appetite, energy intake, control of eating, food preference and body weight in subjects with obesity

The ideal candidate has 10 or more pounds of unwanted body fat that they have had difficulty losing through diet and exercise alone. Patients who have frequent cravings or are prone to binge eating or emotional eating would greatly benefit from semaglutide treatment. Patients do not have to be dieting or exercising, but these activities make semaglutide more effective through a variety of mechanisms.

“I have been on a weight loss treatment from Studio R Aesthetics. My starting weight was 136…I am now 125… in only 4 WEEKS. (I am 5’3, and was borderline overweight for my height).

The treatment I am on is called Semaglutide. Semaglutide reduces insulin secretion. It is also known to reduce body weight and body fat mass through lowered food intake or reduced appetite.

With my issue of constant binge eating, this treatment has taught me how to eat things that will actually benefit my body, get the nutrition I need, and be full quickly enough to where I don’t even feel the want or need to see what else is in my fridge at all hours of the night.

I’ll just say that I am absolutely MIND BLOWN at these results after only 4 weeks. My jaw is dropped. SAME JEANS. Not edited.

I have been insecure about my weight for I don’t even know how long. So insecure that I would say no to certain things in the summer with friends and started wearing only sweatshirts because I was so ashamed. This is life changing for me. Thank you Brandy Segura, finally starting to feel confident and see myself in the mirror again. ”
