1) SemaGlutide (Ozempic) Program:
Semaglutide is a prescribed injection to help you lose weight. It helps regulate your appetite. Skin Haus Aesthetics offers Semaglutide for guests with a BMI of 26 or higher to help lose stubborn fat and keep it off for good. This is a great service to help patients who have weight-related medical issues or pre-issues live an elevated healthy lifestyle.
Semaglutide mimics a health-promoting, naturally occurring peptide in the body (GLP-1). Studies have shown it reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings, in addition to improving blood sugar control. It works best with personalized lifestyle changes.
Semaglutide is NOT a stimulant, so you do not have to worry about unpleasant side effects like not being able to sleep or having the jitters.
Semaglutide is a small protein (peptide) that activates metabolic pathways in the body to increase blood sugar metabolism and reduce appetite. It imitates a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). You may have heard of Semaglutide before. It has been used to help treat type 2 diabetes under the brand names Ozempic ® and Saxenda®.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Semaglutide to be used to treat type-2 diabetes in 2017. Further research and studies have shown that Semaglutide is also suitable for losing weight, and in June of 2021, it was FDA-approved for weight loss under the name Wegovy®.
We start all of our patients off at a lower, compounded dose for the first month and then increase the dosage for the second and third months, respectively. Our compounded medication also includes Vitamin B-6 to help with some of the potential side effects (nausea, heart burn, etc.)
Our pharmaceutical partners compound Semaglutide and Vitamin B-6 specifically for our Skin Haus patients. Semaglutide is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) and not into a muscle.
Please be assured that the needle is quite small, and the injection is painless. It requires our patients to drop by once a week for a quick injection or self administered and predrawn injectables are dispensed every 4 weeks.
Benefits of the SemaglutideWeight Loss Program
Semaglutide reduces your appetite and makes you feel fuller for longer periods of time. It also keeps you in “fat-burning” mode. Because Semaglutide targets fat cells and regulates blood sugar, you don’t have to worry about losing muscle mass or dehydration (water weight loss).
Semaglutide has also been shown to help stop the production of plaque in blood vessels.
Our program is three months long (may be booked monthly). There are NO food restrictions. However, if you are not eating a healthy diet, you will not feel good while on the diet. If you eat healthier, you will feel much better and have higher energy levels. We recommend incorporating proteins and nutrient-dense foods into your daily diet. While exercise is not mandatory with this program, we recommend you start to incorporate an exercise regime into your lifestyle because of the health benefits. If you aren’t used to exercising, walking can be the perfect way to start.
2) Skinny Shots (Lipotropic Injections)
Skinny shots are used to help patients with weight loss by boosting energy and metabolism while increasing the removal of fat. If you are constantly feeling run-down, exhausted or in need of a metabolic boost, you’re not the only one!
Skinny Shots are given intramuscular that consist of ingredients to help support your weight loss efforts with fat blasting compounds. Skinny Shots are a mixture of B vitamins, amino acids, and lipotropic agents. The Skinny Shot is a special formula of liver supporting nutrients that can help with energy, fat metabolism, and hormone balance, which are all key liver functions.
Often time people feel increased energy immediately after the shot; sometimes they just feel better over time. It acts as a stress fighter, supporting key functions of liver that sometimes require large amounts of nutrients that can be severely depleted after years of stress and diet imbalance.
Recommended 2x per week for 3-4 weeks.
3) Health & Nutrition Evaluation
This evaluation or consultation pertains to the nutritional, dietary, and overall health aspects. During this evaluation the patient provides the latest bloodwork completed and we evaluate all possible health concerns and changes. Meal plans, weight ins, meal ideas, BMI, all measurements, and the required supplement is all included. Do you have nutrional concerns and want to prevent any diseases? Want a a weight loss or weight gain plan? Would like to see a difference in your lab work and results? This is the evaluation that is needed. Weekly or monthly follow ups may be recommended.
