Semaglutide is a revolutionary GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally developed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, but when providers and pharmaceutical developers noticed how much weight their patients were losing, they began to study semaglutide exclusively for weight loss. A series of clinical trials known as the STEP clinical trials demonstrated that almost 90% of patients lost 5% or more of their body weight. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares. In June of 2022, the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss.

The Semaglutide Process
What to Expect
01.
Your Consultation
Before starting your treatment with semaglutide in Charlottesville, you'll meet with one of our weight loss experts for an in-depth consultation. During this conversation, we'll ask about your relevant medical history and discuss your weight loss goals. Using this information, we'll help determine if our 6-week or 12-week program will make the most sense for your unique needs.
02.
Your Treatment
While in our weight loss program, you'll visit the office for your once-a-week semaglutide and MIC injections. Semaglutide helps control hunger by boosting your body's insulin production. The MIC (Methionine Inositol Choline) injections regulate your metabolism. During these weekly visits, you'll also meet with your weight loss coach to discuss your progress.
