semaglutide

Have you heard of Ozempic? Semaglutide is simply the generic version of Ozempic. Originally prescribed as an anti-diabetic medication and now a very popular weight loss injection. At A New You Aesthetic Spa in Lapeer and Oxford, MI we know that part of your overall wellness is also feeling good about your weight. These injections do wonders for your weight loss goals when combined with our Emsculpt NEO which simultaneously reduces fat and builds muscle that goes beyond what you can achieve on your own at the gym. 

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?

Semaglutide is indicated in combination with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke) in adults;to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, released in the gut to respond to eating, thus making you less hungry. GLP-1’s role is to prompt the body to produce more insulin. With higher abouts of GLP-1 your brain suppresses your appetite and makes you feel full. When properly used in conjunction with diet and exercise it can cause significant weight loss for overall better health.
