We’ve explained everything you need to know about semaglutide, but at Medical Grade Aesthetics, we include semaglutide as part of a comprehensive weight loss program.
Our team customizes your care with our SlimDown Medical Weight Loss program, which combines personal training and semaglutide to help you lose stubborn weight and keep it off.
The Process
When you come to Medical Grade Aesthetics, you get more than just an appointment—you gain a partner on your journey to better well-being. We can help put you on a path to success, but we also stay with you to celebrate when you achieve it.
Consultation
First, you will undergo a consultation with one of our trained providers to determine if you are an ideal candidate for weight loss injections in Beloit. Your provider will discuss your medical history, what additional weight loss methods you’ve tried, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Once they have a clear idea of your overall health profile, they will work to create the ideal weight loss plan for your needs. Depending on your lifestyle, your provider might ask if you would like to receive 10 free sessions from a personal trainer, which will begin after your first 3 months on semaglutide to help maintain important muscle mass and build lifestyle changes to support your journey.
Injections
Once you and your provider are confident in your weight loss plan, they will begin your treatment by administering your first weight loss injection in Beloit. Here, they will demonstrate how you can administer the injection yourself, as you will be performing the weekly injections at home for the remaining duration of your treatment.
Once your first injection is complete, your provider will supply you with the subsequent monthly doses and then help you schedule your first check-in appointment.
Check-In
You will schedule monthly check-ins with your provider. This will allow our team to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your plan as needed. During these appointments, your provider will ask about any results you may be seeing, possible side effects you might be experiencing, and more.
Personal Training
If you expressed an interest in personal training during your consultation, they will put you in touch with an accountability coach to schedule 10 free sessions with a personal trainer from the Anytime Fitness of Beloit
Muscle wasting is one of the possible side effects of your weight loss injections in Beloit. Your trainer will help you learn how to maintain and possibly even grow your muscles, and they can give you tips on how to balance your diet to ensure you are getting the nutrients your body needs. Your last couple of sessions will focus on how to maintain the healthy lifestyle you’ve created on your own.
Maintenance
Once you have accomplished your weight loss goals, your provider will talk to you about your plan for maintaining your weight. Some patients may need maintenance injections of semaglutide to keep the weight off. For others, they can maintain their results as long as they keep up the healthy habits they learned throughout their journey. Your provider will be able to determine which maintenance path is best for you based on your health history and body type.
Customizing Your Care
Maintenance Injections
To maintain your results, your provider may suggest staying on semaglutide, but reducing the dosages and frequency of injections. This can depend on a number of factors, including:
- If you have a low metabolism
- If you are genetically predispositioned to easily gain and hold onto weight
- If you are taking medications that cause weight gain
- If you have a medical condition that causes you to gain weight easily
Our partnership with Anytime Fitness has helped many clients find exercises that work specifically with their body type and specific health conditions, and they personalize your workouts to your lifestyle and provide additional resources where you can learn more. But sometimes, factors like the ones listed above will cause you to gain weight back once you have finished with your semaglutide injections, even if you follow your healthy habits.
If your provider believes any of these factors will impact your ability to maintain your weight loss results, then they may suggest using maintenance injections to keep the weight off. If you do decide you would like to join the maintenance program, then you will need to undergo the regular weight loss injections in Beloit for at least 3 months to gain eligibility for maintenance injections.
Semaglutide Vs. Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide works similar to semaglutide, except it targets both the GLP-1 and GIP hormones, which may create even greater weight loss. Your provider might decide to use tirzepatide as part of your weight loss treatment based on certain factors, including:
- If you’re genetically predispositioned to easily gain and hold onto weight
- If you have a medical condition that prevents you from receiving semaglutide
- If you experience intolerable side effects from semaglutide
Most of the time, our providers will begin with semaglutide first. If you do not end up responding to the medication as planned, they may suggest switching to tirzepatide. Tirzepatide typically causes fewer side effects than semaglutide, but is considerably more costly, so your provider will go over the details and help you make the best decision based on your needs.
Why Medical Grade Aesthetics?
Our team at Medical Grade Aesthetics has one focus: you. Your goals are our guide, ensuring we find the best treatment based on your needs. Our highly trained providers understand how our treatments can accomplish your goals and provide you with the knowledge you need to protect your investment.
When it comes to our weight loss program, we make sure to walk you through every step of the process with your weight loss injections in Beloit. While weight loss injections are a popular treatment, there can be many misconceptions about it. So we always take the time to answer your questions and thoroughly explain how this can help you feel more confident in how you look and feel.
Commonly Combined Treatments
While these treatments are not integrated as part of our weight loss program, they may help you lose weight more quickly, manage side effects, and maintain your results.
Fat-Dissolving Injections
Semaglutide helps with appetite, but when you lose weight, you can lose both fat and muscle. While we offer 10 free sessions with a personal trainer to prevent muscle wasting, we also provide fat-dissolving injections. These injections can target the submentum (under the chin) and bra fat, which are areas where stubborn fat is harder to lose.
IV Nutrition Therapy
Since semaglutide minimizes your hunger cravings, you will be eating less than usual, which can possibly cause a temporary vitamin deficiency. With IV nutrition, we can inject the vitamins you need directly into your veins, helping you maintain your energy levels during your weight loss journey. We like to recommend our B12 injections because of their ability to maintain your energy and support your weight loss
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone imbalances can be the reason why some have a difficult time losing weight and keeping it off. Our team can help you balance your hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. When paired with semaglutide, it can help you stop weight gain at the source and make your weight loss efforts more effective.
Emsculpt NEO
Like we said before—semaglutide targets overall weight, including fat and muscle. It does not focus on specific areas. Once you are close to or have completely accomplished your weight loss goals, we can follow up your weight loss treatment with Emsculpt NEO. This will help strengthen and maintain muscle and reduce fat in one treatment, creating a slimmer-appearing, more toned physique.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to start semaglutide?
There is no specific time that is ideal to start using weight loss injections in Beloit. You can benefit from the injection all year long—whether you’re hoping to gain that “summer body” or avoid that pesky winter weight that always comes up around the holidays. Semaglutide is the best year-round weight loss treatment.
Will insurance cover my semaglutide injections?
No, most insurances do not cover the cost of weight loss injections in Beloit. Our practice also does not accept insurance. However, if you are concerned about the cost of care, you can sign up for Cherry or CareCredit. These financing companies partner with many practices across the country to help patients cover the cost of their treatments with manageable monthly payments.
How effective are weight loss injections?
Injections like semaglutide have been clinically proven as a safe and effective method for weight loss. However, establishing and maintaining healthy habits is key to keeping the weight off. This is why we provide supportive treatments and free sessions with a personal trainer. At Medical Grade Aesthetics, we want you to have the tools and resources you need to be successful.
