If you’ve been struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise, Semaglutide may be the breakthrough you need. At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, we offer medically supervised Semaglutide treatments that can help jumpstart your weight loss journey safely and effectively. This innovative medication has transformed the lives of many by promoting sustainable weight loss and improving overall health.
Here’s what you need to know before considering Semaglutide for weight management:
Semaglutide is a prescription drug initially created to treat type 2 diabetes, but is now also approved to help people with obesity or overweight issues lose weight. It functions by imitating a natural hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a key role in controlling appetite and food consumption. By slowing the rate at which the stomach empties, Semaglutide helps reduce hunger and boost feelings of fullness, making it easier to eat less and achieve gradual, sustained weight loss.
Semaglutide has undergone extensive clinical trials and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss use. When prescribed and monitored by medical professionals, it is considered safe and effective. At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, your health and safety are our top priorities. We conduct thorough assessments before starting treatment and provide ongoing supervision to ensure optimal results with minimal risk.
Ideal candidates for Semaglutide typically have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health issues such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. If you’ve struggled to lose weight with traditional methods and are looking for medically supervised assistance, Semaglutide might be right for you. A personalized consultation at our center will help determine if this treatment aligns with your health goals.
Patients often start noticing weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment, with more significant results appearing over three to six months. Semaglutide encourages gradual and steady weight loss, which is safer and more sustainable compared to rapid crash diets. We will guide you throughout the process, adjusting your treatment plan as needed to maximize your success.
Like all medications, Semaglutide can cause side effects, though many are mild and temporary. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or mild stomach discomfort as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious side effects are rare, and your healthcare provider will carefully monitor you to manage any concerns. Open communication during treatment helps ensure your experience is as comfortable and effective as possible.
If you’re ready to regain control of your weight and enhance your health with Semaglutide, we are here to guide you throughout the process. Contact us today at (503) 772-3297 to book your consultation and begin your path to a healthier, more confident you!

Do things that help the process in your journey and make you feel good. Love the way you look!
I think you have to do things that maybe help the process in your journey and make you feel good and bring happiness to you and if that means getting a little Botox or getting a microderm you know which is something that you know I’ll walk away and look in the mirror and think oh I love the way I look but then it’s also a balance of being like it’s okay I’ve made it to 53 and I’m healthy and I think that’s where the thoughtful aging comes in versus the anti-aging
I’m 44 I have two kids and I work constantly. I’m traveling and it’s really hard to have consistency in your life. My body isn’t the same after having two kids and even just on a functional level, if I would try to work out, I kept injuring myself, and I wasn’t working from this strong foundation of core or where I should have been and I was getting really discouraged. I wanted to change my life and do something really positive so that I could go into my closet and get dressed feeling good, so that I could eat pasta here and there, so I could drink wine here and there, and just find that elusive balance called 80/20. I’ve certainly known 80/20 in the opposite direction; you realize that being healthy and strong is really important. I wanted to condition my body differently so I could exercise regularly without injury, and then I did a bunch of recon with a lot of women, a lot of who you know some of you don’t, some who are really amazing actresses or athletes, and I was like, I found out all the cool girls were already doing it, and it made me feel really safe about the process. I got really excited as opposed to curious and they’re all doing it. So I was like, well then I want to do it as I had been doing a lot of core work. So I did Emsculpt in tendem, and it completely changed my foundation; it just really changed my life, and I get to go work out with my girlfriends and do dance cardio. I feel better when I’m picking up my kids. I’m just exercising smarter because I’m stronger. I’m not really a champion or into anything invasive and I’m not into aesthetics. I care about athletics and being capable and a strong woman, and I don’t know what exactly that looks like because it’s totally different for every single woman. But for me and my personal life I know the line and I know when I’m feeling good. I know what I’m looking better for me, well I definitely see lines in my stomach where I never have which is a total anomaly for me. I’m just getting to live the life I want to, I look better, I feel better, but I’m working out consistently without landing in a physical therapists office because I’ve overdone it or thrown my back out my car was like a fish tank after kids when women have kids nobody talks about how broken the body is and you’re trying to get back to where you were but you’ll never be in the same clade. So I think people probably do this for a multitude of reasons. I have friends who do Ironman, who do it, me as a mother who couldn’t put her body back together the right way. That was why I did it, I just wanted health and wellness in my life. Some people do it for posture, some people do it for conditioning, some people are hardcore athletes, and want to get even stronger and get that extra boost. All the cool girls are doing it for sure.
I just think the whole phrase thoughtful aging is so beautiful; it’s such a healthier approach but to keep your young youthful skin the best you can. I say this as I think it’s really important, and it makes sense to me, and it makes me feel good. Where again, anti-aging, this makes me feel defeated. Bridgeport laser and wellness is by far the best place to go for thoughtful aging
