Get on the Road to a Healthier, Thinner You With Semaglutide Weight Loss Drugs

For decades now, Americans have been struggling with a collective weight problem — 1 in 3 adults is overweight, and 2 out of 5 adults tip the scales into obesity.

If you find yourself on the wrong end of the scale when it comes to weight, you’ve likely exhausted yourself trying to shed the pounds. Imagine if you had a tool that could help you break through the impenetrable weight loss barrier to lose significant weight, once and for all.

That tool now exists in the form of semaglutide GLP-1 weight loss medications, which Dr. Tiffany Su and Dr. Hui “He” Kang offer at Skin Shop MedSpa. Weight loss is a big piece of the overall cosmetic puzzle, which is why we make these groundbreaking weight loss drugs available to our clients.

Here’s a look at how we can help you finally declare victory in your battle to lose weight with semaglutide.

Managing your blood sugar levels with GLP-1 medications

One of the significant ways in which semaglutide medications work is that they create a much better balance of blood sugar in your body. At the heart of these medications are glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists that play a role in triggering insulin production to keep the levels of glucose (blood sugar) in your bloodstream low. 

When we add GLP-1 to your body, we can lower the levels of blood sugar, which is why these medications were originally introduced to treat type 2 diabetes.

Blocking glucagon

Along the same lines as above, GLP-1 weight loss drugs block the production of glucagon in your body, which is a hormone that can raise blood sugar levels in your body.

Suppressing your appetite with semaglutide

Semaglutide medications work by targeting the area of your brain that feels satisfied. So, by creating satiety in your brain, you won’t feel as hungry as usual.

Slowing down digestion with GLP-1 medications

Another key to the semaglutide success is that these weight loss drugs slow down your digestion. With slower digestion, you feel full for much longer, and avoid mindless snacking.

Losing weight with semaglutide

Between the four mechanisms of action — lower blood sugar, more insulin, slower digestion, and satiety — semaglutide medications are helping millions of Americans take better control of their health through weight loss.

Multiple studies back this up, as one meta-analysis of 47 randomized controlled trials concluded that GLP-1 medications “demonstrated significant weight, BMI, and waist circumference reduction benefits.”

The experiences of our patients who use semaglutide for weight loss mirror these findings, and we often hear that these drugs have not only been effective but also life-changing.
