Nearly everyone heard about medication for weight loss. Unlike previous fads and diets, semaglutide does work. The prescription medication—alongside a healthy diet and exercise—can support patients who want to lose weight. Providers at Allure Esthetic help patients month-to-month on their weight loss journey. Everything from the diet, exercise plan, and dosage is customized to fit the patient's body, needs, and the effectiveness of the starting doses. Allure Esthetic provides the highest quality semaglutide weight loss program offered.

What Is Semaglutide?

At Allure Esthetic, we administer a compounded version of semaglutide that combines semaglutide and Vitamin B. Vitamin B can help ease two of the more common side effects including nausea and fatigue. Our compounded version includes the same active ingredient as the name-brand versions of the medication.

Semaglutide is a type of drug called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist. It acts like the hormone GLP-1 which is responsible for telling the body to release insulin, and help regulate blood sugar, and other metabolic functions. Originally approved to treat type II diabetes, Semaglutide helps lower blood sugar, suppress hunger, and promote weight loss when combined with a diet and exercise plan.

Allure Esthetic offers semaglutide injections and a sublingual tablet. Our research has shown there is no significant difference in the efficacy between the injections and the pill. The primary difference is the cost and method of administration.

Benefits & Risks of Semaglutide Injections

There are many benefits and risks associated with Semaglutide, but we want to be transparent about both. First, let's look at all the benefits Semaglutide can provide so you can know what to expect from the treatment. Benefits of Semaglutide include:

  • Can help you lose 15% or more of your body weight
  • Can improve heart health and prevent cardiovascular complications
  • Can boost your metabolism
  • Prevents overeating & unhealthy snacking
  • Can lower your blood glucose level
  • Can create an overall healthier lifestyle

These benefits can be life-changing and help you establish a healthier lifestyle. When it comes to risks, most are rare but are still something to consider before beginning treatment. Additionally, the side effects of Semaglutide often fade after your body adjusts to the medication. Risks of semaglutide include:

  • Stomach issues like constipation, nausea, or diarrhea
  • Anxiety
  • Vision issues (blurry vision)
  • Bloating
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Possibility of developing pancreatitis (rare)
  • Issues with your gallbladder (rare)
  • Possibility of developing thyroid tumors (rare)

Who Qualifies for Semaglutide Weight Loss Program?

The best candidates for semaglutide weight loss in Seattle will have a realistic weight loss goal. Allure Esthetic does not have BMI requirements for the semaglutide weight loss program and evaluates each patient on a holistic, individual basis. They may or may not have comorbidities, but would likely find some health benefits from losing weight via semaglutide treatment.

Patients with a history of or current diagnosis of certain conditions may not be candidates even if they otherwise qualify. While not always a complete disqualifier, patients who have a history of the following conditions should likely avoid Semaglutide:

  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2)
  • Pancreatitis
  • Gallbladder problems
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Type I diabetes
  • History of severe symptoms of low blood sugar

If a patient currently takes a GLP-1 medication, they may be able to switch to Semaglutide. However, this will warrant a discussion with their provider to determine if this is the best course of action. Patients should not take Semaglutide concurrently with any other GLP-1 medications.

Semaglutide Injections Vs. Tablet

When it comes to Semaglutide, you have two options for how you take the medication: either through injections or tablets. Honestly, one isn't better than the other; it just depends on what works best for you and your schedule. If you take the Semaglutide tablet, you will need to take one every day. If you choose the injection, you will need to inject it once per week.

The tablet is great if you want to avoid injections, but the injections only need to be self-administered once a week in either the stomach, upper arms, or things. You can talk to your provider about which one is best for you! Semaglutide is a long-term weight loss program, unlike other medications such as phentermine. Semaglutide is best for those searching for a permanent weight loss solution vs. phentermine, which is meant to boost your weight loss journey.

The Semaglutide Weight Loss Program From Start To Finish

Consultation

To begin the semaglutide weight loss program, a patient should schedule a consultation with an Allure Esthetic provider. The consultation may take place in person or virtually through Skype or FaceTime. During the consultation appointment, the patient and their provider will discuss their goal weight, medical history, and lifestyle.

The provider will determine the dosage based on various factors. They will also present a diet and exercise plan that can help improve and prolong results. Following this diet and exercise program is highly recommended but not required. If in the office, patients may pay for their first month of treatment at that time. Otherwise, they will receive a quote.

Administering Semaglutide

Once the patient receives their semaglutide injections and supplies, they need to come in for a quick training session on how to give themselves the Semaglutide injections. After this, they can proceed with performing the injections at home. The pill form of semaglutide does not require a training session.

At Allure Esthetic Seattle, we prescribe a compounded version of semaglutide with Vitamin B. This may help reduce side effects such as nausea and fatigue, especially during the first weeks of treatment.

Meal & Exercise Plan

As previously mentioned, a meal and exercise plan is included in the cost of our semaglutide medical weight loss program. Working with an Allure Esthetic provider, patients can work to find a balanced diet and exercise routine that works for them and is sustainable. This may take several weeks of trial and error. The monthly check-in appointments allow the patient and provider to adjust the dosage or their diet and exercise plan as necessary. At Allure Esthetic, we use semaglutide as a tool to foster good habits long term and keep weight off.

What Foods Should You Avoid While Taking Semaglutide?

When taking semaglutide for weight loss, you should avoid eating fried or greasy foods and processed sugars. Maintaining a healthy diet is the best way to maximize semaglutide medication's benefit. Some other foods you should avoid when taking semaglutide for weight loss include:

  • Foods that contain unhealthy carbohydrates
  • Foods that contain large amounts of processed sugar
  • Foods that are high in trans fat
  • Foods that are generally unhealthy and provide no nutritional value

With Allure Esthetic's diet and exercise programs, it will be easier to stick to a healthy diet that helps maximize the benefits of semaglutide.

When can I expect to see results from Semaglutide?

This depends on a few factors. Semaglutide is a weight loss aid but is not the sole answer. It works best with diet and exercise, as your lifestyle could directly impact the results. Additionally, every patient responds differently to the medication. However, most patients begin to see results around two to three months after starting the program.

Our semaglutide weight loss program offers monthly check-ins with a provider so they can monitor your side effects and progress. You are more likely to see results faster when you combine semaglutide with a nutritional diet and physical activity.

How much is a 30-Day Supply of Semaglutide?

Our semaglutide weight loss program is either $575 per month for the injections or $700 per month for semaglutide tablets. However, our weight loss program also includes:

  • Monthly medication and supplies (either injections or tablets)
  • Initial consultation
  • Diet & exercise programs
  • Monthly check-ins
  • 24/7 access to on-call doctors

Our Semaglutide Weight Loss Plan Options

At Allure, we offer two different semaglutide weight loss programs so you can choose the one best suited for you. Our two programs include:

  • Semaglutide Through Allure: If you choose to get everything through our clinic, you will get the full package that includes: semaglutide medication, diet and exercise programs, 24/7 access to on-call doctors, and comprehensive care. This package starts at $575.
  • Prescription Package: If you are going through insurance and need to get name-brand Ozempic, then our prescription package is the right one for you. This package includes our weight loss program, diet and exercise guides, 24/7 access to on-call doctors, and comprehensive care. However, you'll get the brand name Ozempic through the pharmacy. The price is $199 plus the prescription cost.

If you choose the prescription package, the pharmacy will guide you through the self-administration. It's important to note that name-brand Ozempic is only available in injection form, not tablet.

Injection Plan

At Allure Esthetic, we offer an injection plan that helps you achieve weight loss. We work with the compound-semaglutide guidelines and prescribe dosages a little more at a time. The dosages increase as follows: .25mg, .5mg, 1mg, then 1 or 2mg maintenance. With adjustments as needed for the patient's specific health needs.

Frequently
Asked Questions

1. Does Insurance Cover Semaglutide?

At Allure Esthetic, we offer assistance in seeing if your insurance provider will cover your Ozempic for weight loss medication. However, it's not guaranteed, and you will have to get brand-name Ozempic through your pharmacy of choice.

2. How Fast Does Semaglutide Work For Weight Loss?

The amount of time it takes semaglutide to cause a noticeable weight reduction will vary from patient to patient. Some patients may notice a visible difference in about five weeks, while for others, it can take several months. The diet and exercise plan can help patients lose weight faster.

Even if a patient does not see a difference physically, the scale will likely indicate weight loss. The patient and their provider can discuss the average amount of time it takes on average for someone of similar weight, BMI, and health to see significant body weight reduction with semaglutide treatment in Seattle.

4. How Long Does Someone Stay On Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication designed for long term use. With that said, many may want to discontinue or reduce the use of the medication. If a patient successfully lost the desired amount of weight and feels confident they can stick to the diet and exercise plan, they may begin to taper off the medication. Though, they can also cease use right away.
A provider is unlikely to take a patient off semaglutide as long as they are seeing results and not experiencing any severe side effects. Patients usually need to stay on the Semaglutide medication for a minimum of several months to see notable benefits. It is safe to use semaglutide for chronic weight management.

5. Is It Better To Take Semaglutide At Night Or In The Morning?

The time of day a patient administers Semaglutide does not matter. However, they should try to take each dose at roughly the same time of day and close to meal times. The injections are administered once a week and the pill is taken every day. Otherwise, the same instructions apply.
