The medication semaglutide was developed to treat type 2 diabetes but has been found to be highly effective for weight loss as well. It works by mimicking GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and hunger. Semaglutide enhances feelings of fullness and reduces hunger, helping you take in fewer calories to lose weight more effectively.
At AlluraMD, we believe your aesthetic journey should be as enjoyable as it is transformative. We're not your typical sterile doctor's office.

The semaglutide treatment involves a simple, once-weekly injection that you can administer yourself at home. The injection is usually administered in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Most patients find the process easy and convenient, allowing them to maintain their regular routine without disruption. Your treatment plan will be customized by our wellness specialists to ensure optimal dosing and effectiveness.
You may be a candidate for medical weight loss with semaglutide if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher and have weight-related health issues, or if your BMI is 30 or higher. Ideal candidates are those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. Semaglutide may not be suitable for people with a history of certain medical conditions, such as thyroid cancer or pancreatitis. Our wellness specialists at AlluraMD Aesthetics + Wellness will evaluate your medical history and current health status to assess whether semaglutide is right for you.
