Weight Loss Injections
What are weight loss injections?
Semaglutide weight loss injections, marketed under names like Wegovy and Ozempic, are a revolutionary medication designed to help individuals struggling with losing weight or weight-related health conditions.
Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has shown remarkable results in aiding weight loss by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake.
These injections work by reducing hunger, increasing feelings of fullness, and slowing down the emptying of the stomach, leading to a significant reduction in overall calorie consumption. Semaglutide can help customers achieve sustainable weight loss and improve their overall health.
Semaglutide Dosage Guidelines
The Semaglutide dosage chart outlines the recommended progression of doses over time to help minimize side effects and optimize weight loss results. Many clients have managed to remain on 0.5mg whilst still losing weight and the below is a guide only. Each person’s response and dose requirements differ

Weeks 1-4 0.25mg
