The number of injections you will need depends on your unique needs and goals. Injections are usually done once a week, and initial results may begin to show as quickly as one week of treatment. Results will continue to develop throughout the course of your series of injections, and weight loss can be maintained by adopting healthy lifestyle habits.

Stop fat in its tracks
Have you noticed that, even when you know your body doesn’t really need food, you are still hungry? It has to do with blood sugar and insulin. The word “insulin” is often used in conjunction with diabetes, but you don’t have to have diabetes to be given semaglutide.
Semaglutide in Philadelphia can make it easier to lose weight by making your appetite more manageable. You’ll feel fuller for longer. At About Face Aesthetics, our experts are here to help you accomplish your weight loss goals.
Bringing You Results
How does semaglutide work?
Semaglutide was originally designed for individuals with diabetes who need to increase their insulin production and regulate their blood sugar. Frequent eating and snacking when our bodies don’t really need those nutrients can be harmful to our blood sugar and insulin levels.
With semaglutide injections, your body will better be able to control any cravings. Furthermore, each meal you eat will break down and digest slower, helping you feel full from your meals for longer. Your appetite and cravings will be reduced, resulting in the loss of unwanted weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have you been struggling to maintain a diet that promotes weight loss? Do you have a good exercise routine, but still aren’t seeing the results you want? You may be the perfect candidate for semaglutide in Philadelphia. Scheduling a consultation with our experts will best help determine if semaglutide weight loss injections are right for you.
While semaglutide can be effective, there is a chance you will experience some side effects along the way, but these should resolve as your body adjusts to the injections. Side effects may include:

- Nausea
- Vomiting

- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Heartburn
The appetite-suppressing results of semaglutide will continue for as long as you receive the weekly injections. After completing your series of injections, your normal appetite should return, but a healthy diet and exercise regimen can help you sustain your results.

(If you are losing muscle, we can change the course!)

- Persistent food cravings: Semaglutide helps you feel full for longer, making it easier to ignore food cravings. During your injection series, you can work on mindful eating skills that can carry over to when treatment ends, reducing the urge to snack and keeping your caloric intake down.

We know many people feel uneasy around needles, and we get it! But the needle used for semaglutide is teeny-tiny; it’s thin as a strand of hair and only being inserted into the parts of your body with the most cushioning. Most people cannot even feel the injection and are shocked at how quick and easy it is. We are happy to teach you everything you need to know to administer this treatment to yourself, or you’re welcome to visit us once a week so that we can take care of it for you. Ask our providers about how we can best address your needs during your consultation.
