Adam J Cohen, MD and The Aesthetic Lounge are committed to helping people reach their ideal body goals and to do so, achieving the ideal weight prior to surgery is key to our success. In the past we would request patients lose weight and come back when they have done so for their surgery. This has changed with the new medications that have recently become available for patients. The skinny shot can help you reach your goals and is part of our comprehensive approach for our patients.

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP -1 receptor agonist, that means it acts like a glucagon like peptide. This drug was first designed as treatment for diabetic patients, however it was found to have profound weight loss properties in patients. This was a huge benefit to diabetic patients, but also the population as a whole. The GLP-1 was shown to affect appetite and food intake. It decreases a person’s appetite which in turn leads to weight loss. The first medication on the market was Ozempic. Because of its effectiveness on weight loss as well as a newer medication called Wegovy, it has been released for the treatment of obesity. Both medications are Semaglutide. Semaglutide is administered via a weekly injection that patients can do in the comfort of their own home.

How Effective Is Semaglutide For Weight Loss?

Semaglutide has proven to be extremely effective in several studies. One of the first studies evaluating the effectiveness of Semaglutides included more than 1,000 patients. These patients were treated for 68 weeks and lost an average of 15% of their body weight (with an average weight loss of 35 pounds).

A second study that included 900+ patients showed that patients on average lost 17% of their body weight (an average of 41 pounds) at 68 weeks. It is important to remember that everyone in these studies were counseled on improving dietary habits and increasing physical activity. The results of these studies are truly exciting for our patients.

In Semaglutide clinical trials for the treatment of weight loss injections in Lake Forest, IL, patients experienced few side effects during the 68-week treatment.
