Weight Loss

We now offer medical grade weight loss treatments with semaglutide in Staunton, VA, an FDA-approved medication that can significantly reduce unwanted fat and assist in weight loss.

Semaglutide is a once a week subcutaneous injection that assists in weight loss by suppressing 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, such as foods that contain high levels of simple carbohydrates and unhealthy fats.

Semaglutide is a generic medication, which has been used in diabetics for weight loss for more than 10 years.

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 our Staunton semaglutide treatment more effective through a variety of mechanisms.
