Frequently Asked Questions

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is part of a group of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by imitating the physiological effects of incretin hormones. These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, studies have shown that Semaglutide promotes weight loss by reducing a patient’s appetite and slowing down digestion.

How does Semaglutide help with weight loss?

Semaglutide has recently been found to be effective in promoting weight loss because it targets specific areas in the brain that control appetite and overall food intake. By activating these areas, Semaglutide can reduce hunger cravings, allowing patients to consume fewer calories and, in turn, experience a boost in their weight loss journey.

Is Semaglutide safe and appropriate for weight loss?

The FDA recently cleared Semaglutide as a diabetes medication and a medication that can help boost weight loss results. Injections are administered weekly at our office. They are complemented by nutritional counseling and monitoring provided by our medical professionals at Bridgeport Laser and Wellness Center.

How can I maintain the results of Semaglutide injections?

The effects of Semaglutide cease once injections are discontinued. Our team pairs injections with monitoring and nutritional education to ensure patients build a sustainable lifestyle that meets their needs and ensures continued success.

How much does Semaglutide cost?

Semaglutide used for weight loss is often not approved by medical health insurance plans and will require out-of-pocket costs for patients. The cost varies depending on how long the treatment is administered. A consultation visit with our medical professionals is recommended to receive an accurate quote for treatment.”

Who is a perfect candidate for Semaglutide injections for weight loss?

Semaglutide for weight loss is recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or those with a BMI of 27 or higher in conjunction with at least one related health condition, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Candidates must also have realistic expectations and be committed to making certain lifestyle changes to effectively achieve the best results.

A Patient View on Thoughtful Aging vs Anti-Aging

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

Drew Barrymore Talks on Emsculpt

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.

A Patient View on Thoughtful Aging

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
