What is Ozempic?
Ozempic (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injectable GLP-1 RA, a class of medicines more formally known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists. Semaglutide received FDA approval in 2018 for treating obesity and Type II diabetes without the need for surgery. However, it is equally effective in shedding those last few pounds that most of us just canβt seem to get rid of.
How does Ozempic work?
Ozempic harnesses the power of semaglutide, its active ingredient, to induce a feeling of satiety, effectively curbing appetite and promoting weight loss. Additionally, semaglutide supports insulin production by the pancreas, facilitating the transportation of glucose from food into cells for energy utilization. Acting as a mimic to the natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which is triggered when nutrients are detected during meals, semaglutide plays a vital role in signaling the body that it has been nourished, thereby preparing it to efficiently utilize the energy derived from the ingested food. This multi-faceted approach makes Ozempic a powerful and effective solution for weight management.
Whoβs a good candidate?
You may be considered ideal for Ozempic and the About Faces Cosmetic weight loss program if you have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight through dieting and exercise. Sometimes, following a strict diet and exercising may not be enough. Dr. Lo and his team will work closely with you to determine how to tailor a medical weight loss program to meet more individual needs.
Ozempic Treatment
Ozempic Semaglutide offers a convenient and relatively painless weekly injection that can assist in weight loss without causing hunger or cravings. This natural process encourages you to consume less during each meal, resulting in steady weight loss of approximately 1-2 pounds per week. The process is simple, and patients love how Ozempic reduces appetite, helping shed those last persistent pounds. In clinical trials, people taking Ozempic lost an average of 15% of their body weight.

Physician Assisted Weight Loss
Our patients visit our weight loss clinic once a week for their Ozempic injection, a quick appointment lasting around 15 minutes. Our experienced medical professionals will monitor your progress, make necessary dosage adjustments, and provide guidance. Once your dosage is stable and you feel comfortable, you can transition to self-administering Ozempic shots at home, only needing to come into the office for a monthly check-in.
The most common side effects experienced by individuals are occasional nausea and constipation, which can be effectively managed with support from Dr. Lo. With Ozempic, you can maintain your regular exercise routine and enjoy a wide variety of foods as the medication helps regulate your food intake, preventing overeating.
