Weight Loss Injections: FAQs
Your Questions Answered by the Doctors at CJA Aesthetics Clinic in Hampshire
At CJA Aesthetics, we offer a range of weight loss injections designed to support your weight management journey. These treatments, including popular options like Ozempic and Wegovy, have gained attention not only for their effectiveness in promoting weight loss but also for their additional health benefits.
Understanding Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections work by affecting hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism. Ozempic and Wegovy, both containing the active ingredient semaglutide, help control hunger and promote a feeling of fullness. As a result, they can lead to significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Recent Health Benefits
Recent headlines have highlighted the potential cardiovascular benefits of these medications. Studies indicate that Ozempic and Wegovy may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. They are also beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes, aiding in blood sugar control. This approach makes these injections appealing for those seeking not just weight loss but overall health improvements.
Your Questions Answered
If you are considering weight loss injections, you may have many questions. Here are some common enquiries we receive:
How do these injections work?
The injections help regulate appetite by mimicking hormones that signal fullness. This leads to reduced caloric intake.
Are there any side effects?
Like any medication, these injections can have side effects. Common ones include nausea and digestive issues. However, many find these effects diminish over time.
How quickly can I expect results?
Individual results vary, but many patients report noticeable weight loss within weeks of starting treatment.
Do I need to change my lifestyle?
Yes, these injections work best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. They are not a standalone solution.
Who is a good candidate for weight loss injections?
These injections are typically recommended for individuals with a BMI over 30 or those with weight related health issues.
How long do I need to stay on the injections?
The duration of treatment depends on your goals and how your body responds. One of our doctors will guide you on this.
Are the results permanent?
Maintaining weight loss requires ongoing lifestyle changes. The injections help jump start your journey, but long term success depends on your commitment to healthy habits.
How do these injections compare to other weight loss methods?
Weight loss injections can be more effective for some than diet and exercise alone, and work best when combined with lifestyle changes.
