Semaglutide Injections: A Life Changing Weight Loss Option

Getting and staying fit is easy, right?! Not for everyone! Approximately 70% of American adults have obesity or are overweight.

At Bella, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all weight loss system, but rather a comprehensive wellness program to help you reach and keep your health goals!

Our personalized approach supports you through your health and weight loss journey by focusing on three main pillars of health: mental and emotional wellness, nutrition, and detoxifying. Deciding to lose weight is emotional, and we are here to support you. We understand that everyone’s body is unique and women in particular can gain or hold weight for a myriad of reasons from pregnancy to stress factors, which raises cortisol hormone levels and causes us to store stubborn, lower belly fat.

With the proprietary, comprehensive wellness program at Bella Medspa, we are able to help patients with making positive changes and reaching their weight loss and health goals.

Since everybody is different, we offer several options in our weight loss program. One of our most popular treatments is a semaglutide prescription – a medical weight loss, injectable peptide that works to help the body function more optimally and greatly decrease appetite. But we don’t believe in quick fixes and want you to have amazing results that last, so working alongside our nurse and doctor, we will formulate a plan that can best guide you.

Semaglutide is a prescription medicine for weight loss management and is safe for most patients.

Like so many medications, this was first used as an insulin drug and now has widespread use for weight loss and detoxification purposes. This peptide is unique in so many ways, and we love it for its safety and efficacy. In clinical trials, semaglutide helped most recipients lose 10% of their body weight. More than half of them reduced their weight by 15%, which can help decrease the risk for many chronic illnesses.

Although lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise) represents the cornerstone of weight management, sustaining weight loss over the long term can be challenging. Semaglutide injection is in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Semaglutide injection also works by slowing the movement of food through the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss.

To date, we have had patients lose 60 to 80 pounds with the average patient losing 20 to 30 pounds! Semaglutide works to help the liver function, better detoxifying and flushing out fat tissue cells and, when combined with medical devices like ThermiSmooth and Venus radio frequency, we see beautiful results of fat and cellulite reduction and skin tightening. Remember when fat cells are killed they cannot replicate, so you will lose weight and be able to keep it off.

Alethea also notes that her patients express feeling more energy, sleeping better, and are able to gain lean muscle mass quicker as part of the Bella Weight Loss Lab!

We recommend using semaglutide as a tool or resource to help you keep your optimal weight.

Of course, life has its speed bumps and you may find yourself having to be sedentary after an injury or surgery or gain a little extra weight after the holidays. No problem at all! Come see us for a quick virtual or in-person wellness consultation and you can resume your semaglutide regime.

Semaglutide is a wonderful special event, glow up treatment, pre-beach trip prep, or weightloss boost before a photo shoot! The Bella team is here to support you whether you’re hoping to lose a little bit of dimpling on the back of the legs or get back to a more youthful, energetic self!
