Semaglutide is a medication that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is produced naturally in your body. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels and appetite. Originally developed for diabetes management, Semaglutide has been found to significantly aid in weight loss by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. This treatment is administered via a once-weekly injection, making it a convenient and effective option for those seeking to lose weight and improve their overall health. Semaglutide is primarily used to treat weight management issues and is suitable for individuals with obesity or those struggling with weight-related health concerns. 

At Washington Aesthetics & Med Spa, we prioritize your overall well-being. A semaglutide prescription requires a visit (whether Tele Medicine or On-Site Appointments) with our healthcare provider, who will evaluate your health history and goals. Lab tests will require an in-person visit. We have many options for your medical weight loss journey.
