Losing weight is hard; it’s even more challenging doing it on your own. But you don’t have to!
Semaglutide Injections (brand names include Wegovy and Ozempic)
might be the push you need to finally lose weight and keep it off for good.
With our new lower prices, now is a great time to begin your weight loss journey!
Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight?
You are not alone. Weight loss is a huge challenge for most people, especially if they’ve been overweight for a while.
Your body is designed to hold onto weight. During many points throughout human history, food has been scarce. Therefore, we store fat to have an energy source when we don’t have food.
On top of that, many factors increase the difficulty of losing and maintaining weight. Some of these include genetics, age, race, diet, physical activity, mental health, and lifestyle choices.
While some of these are within your control, others aren’t.
But science has come a long way to help people who struggle to maintain a healthy BMI. Semaglutide Injections have proven to be highly effective for thousands of patients.
How Does Semaglutide Work?
Semaglutide Injections help you curb your hunger and regain control of your eating habits.
The peptide Semaglutide acts like the naturally occurring hormone that controls your appetite. This hormone, GLP-1, is produced in the digestive tract to tell your brain that it doesn’t need any more food.
But we don’t always produce enough of this hormone for various reasons. Semaglutide picks up the slack to trick your brain into thinking you are full more quickly than your body naturally feels.
Eating less quickly results in losing weight, especially when combined with a balanced diet and increased physical activity.
With Semaglutide Injections, you’ll start shedding excess weight, gain more energy, and regain control of your appetite and health.
Who is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide Injections?
There’s no such thing as a medication that is appropriate for everybody.
Luckily, Semaglutide is an excellent solution for most people. It’s a heart-healthy medication, so you can still take it even with high blood pressure.
This medication helps people who have a BMI greater than 25. Whether you need to lose significant weight or just that last 10 pounds, it will help you reach your goals.
However, some conditions will prevent you from being a healthy candidate for Semaglutide. These include cancer or cancerous growths, decreased kidney or thyroid function, diabetic retinopathy, and acute pancreatic inflammation.
How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?
At North Texas Clinic and Rehab, Semaglutide is priced by dosage.
When you begin taking it, we start small and slowly increase your dosage over a period of time. Everybody’s dosage schedule is different because we base it on your body’s response to the medication.
It’s also important to note that our prices should not be compared to others. We base our pricing on several unique factors. Because of that, we are unable to price-match other clinics’ offers, and those clinics probably wouldn’t be able to price-match ours.
Our current Semaglutide Injections prices are:
| Dosage | Price Per Week |
|---|---|
| 0.25 mg | $70 |
| 0.50 mg | $70 |
| 1.0 mg | $95 |
| 1.7 mg | $120 |
| 2.4 mg (max dose) | $120 |
At this time, we aren’t aware of any major medical insurance companies covering Semaglutide for weight loss. So, these prices are based on cash-pay out-of-pocket costs. However, we do accept CareCredit.
How Medically Supervised Weight Loss with Semaglutide Injections Works
Before taking Semaglutide, we will ensure it’s the best medication for you on your first visit.
We will:
- discuss your health history, current medications, and weight loss goals
- conduct a general health assessment,
- run a full blood panel,
- and check your thyroid function
Once we determine that Semaglutide Injections are right for you, you’ll begin a series of weekly injections. The dosage will start with the minimum and slowly increase to allow your body to adjust without experiencing too many side effects.
Some of those side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. If needed, we will also prescribe an anti-nausea medication until the severity of those effects subsides.
Most patients notice a decreased appetite within a few days of their first injection. As you start to eat less, you’ll begin losing weight. You’ll lose even more if you follow a balanced diet and increase your physical activity.
(You can further support weight loss with a boost to your energy and metabolism with B12 Shots and Lipoden Skinny Shots. Ask your provider if these are right for you!)
Best of all, you won’t just shed pounds; you’ll feel empowered once you regain control of your eating habits. You’ll have fewer cravings, make healthier food choices, and have more conscious control over how much you eat.
That control is one of the biggest benefits of medical weight loss.
Once you’ve hit your target weight, we’ll continue monitoring your progress to develop the perfect maintenance dosage. This will help you keep the weight off.
We know how hard it can be to lose weight, but you don’t have to struggle alone. Weight loss is within your reach with weekly Semaglutide Injections.
