What Is Semaglutide?
Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy utilize the active ingredient semaglutide. They belong to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists and are designed to mimic the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that regulates appetite, food intake, and glucose metabolism.
In 2017, semaglutide was approved by the FDA for use by adults with type 2 diabetes. Still, in recent years, semaglutide has been recognized as an effective weight loss solution, and many similar drugs have been developed to treat obesity.
Ozempic
- How It Works
Ozempic mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) and stimulates the release of insulin. During your weight loss treatment at our Kingwood clinic, Ozempic will act on your brain’s appetite centers to reduce hunger.
It also slows down the process of gastric emptying, which helps our patients feel full for longer. Your overall metabolic health may see improvement with Ozempic.
- Candidacy
- Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30)
- Adults who are overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related health condition
- Expected Results
Patients at our Kingwood med spa taking Ozempic might lose 10-15% of their total body weight over a period of 6 to 12 months of treatment.
Wegovy
- How It Works
Before undergoing treatment with Wegovy at our Kingwood clinic, it can be helpful to know how it works. It’s an injectable medication that also has semaglutide as its primary ingredient, controlling blood sugar levels, targeting the appetite centers of the brain, and also slowing down the rate at which food exits the stomach. This can help patients feel full for longer, similar to treatment with Ozempic.
- Candidacy
- Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30)
- Adults who are overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related comorbidity
- Children (12+) with obesity (BMI ≥95th percentile for age/sex)
- Expected Results
Patients at our Kingwood med spa can expect an average weight loss of approximately 15% of their initial body weight over 68 weeks (about 15-16 months) with Wegovy.
Mounjaro
- How It Works
Mounjaro’s active ingredient, tirzepatide, works by activating both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone receptors, which supports appetite regulation and blood sugar control.
Such dual action contributes to a reduction in caloric intake and enhanced fat breakdown.
- Candidacy
- Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30)
- Adults who are overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related health condition
- Expected Results
With the right diet and regular exercise, patients can expect to lose 15-22% of their initial body weight over 72 weeks. The exact degree of weight loss depends on the dosage.
Ozempic is a popular choice at our Kingwood clinic, but it’s helpful to know that options like Wegovy, Mounjaro, and now additional medications are available before moving forward with a medical weight loss treatment.
Ozempic vs. Semaglutide
You may have heard Ozempic and semaglutide being used interchangeably, but Ozempic is just one of the brands/formulations under which semaglutide is sold.
Semaglutide is a chemical compound and a base ingredient for several weight loss medications you’ll find at our Kingwood clinic. While Ozempic is an injectable prescription drug, its primary compound, semaglutide, is also available in the form of oral tablets (Rybelsus).
Benefits of Weight Loss Medications
- Improved Metabolic Health
By promoting weight loss, medications like tirzepatide can lead to better control of blood sugar levels, reduced cholesterol, and improved overall cardiovascular health.
- Effective Weight Loss
Studies have shown that significant weight loss can be achieved with semaglutide-based medications such as Wegovy and Ozempic, and tirzepatide-based drugs like Mounjaro. Visit our Kingwood clinic to learn more about the scope of your treatment with these drugs.
- Convenience
With injectables and medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, patients often only need to administer them once a week, which makes it easier to integrate them into daily life.
