Skinny Shot (Semaglutide)

Medical Weight Loss with Semaglutide in Miami

You’ve read about it online, seen it on social media, and maybe even heard about it from your friends — now you're ready to try it for yourself. Semaglutide is the weight loss injectable that’s taken the world by storm, and for good reason — it has been proven clinically effective in helping people shed unwanted pounds safely and effectively, making the path to sustainable weight loss a whole lot clearer. If you’re ready to explore this groundbreaking treatment, the experienced team at Simple Aesthetics can help determine if semaglutide is right for you.

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist that mimics certain hormones in the body to regulate appetite, manage blood sugar and slow gastric emptying. Given as a once-weekly injectable, semaglutide has been clinically proven to promote healthy and sustainable weight loss by making it easier to resist cravings and follow a reduced-calorie diet.

Semaglutide is also known as “the Skinny Shot” and is the active ingredient in popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Originally used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it is now a powerful tool for long-term management of obesity or excess weight in adults.

Benefits of Semaglutide

• FDA-approved for long-term weight management
• Once-weekly injections offer convenience and ease of use
• Promotes feelings of fullness
• Reduces hunger and food cravings
• Regulates blood sugar levels
• Makes it easier to minimize overall caloric intake
• Lowers risk of weight-related health concerns

Ideal Candidates for Semaglutide

Deciding on a weight loss treatment can be complex, especially if you haven’t been successful with diet and exercise alone. While a healthy lifestyle is still an important part of managing your weight, medications like semaglutide can be the breakthrough you need to achieve your goals. You may be a good candidate for medical weight loss with semaglutide if you: 

• Have obesity with a BMI of 30+ (maximum BMI of 40)
• Have excess weight with a BMI of 27 or higher plus at least one weight-related health concern (e.g., high blood pressure or high cholesterol)
• Have tried to lose weight before without success
• Are willing to commit to a healthy diet and lifestyle

Semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications may not be right for everyone, especially those who are currently pregnant or have a history of endocrine or thyroid disorders. During your first consultation, our team will evaluate your health, run labs and discuss your weight loss goals to determine if semaglutide is right for you, then develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs.

When Will I Start Seeing Results?

GLP-1 medications like semaglutide are some of the most effective weight loss drugs to hit the market in recent years. In clinical trials, patients using semaglutide lost an average of 33.7 pounds and maintained this weight loss over 68 weeks, compared to just 5.7 pounds in the placebo group. 

While your results can be dramatic, you shouldn’t expect a drastic change overnight. Initial weight loss typically begins to show within the first few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication. Most patients report a noticeable reduction in their appetite early on, which contributes to gradual weight loss. It's important to have realistic expectations and understand that sustained weight loss with semaglutide is achieved through consistent use combined with lifestyle changes such as a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

Over time, changes to your diet and eating habits can lead to significant and lasting results, with many patients achieving their weight loss goals within six to 12 months of starting treatment.
