Wegovy® Injections for Weight Loss

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is an FDA-approved prescription medication for chronic weight management. It can be prescribed for adults who are obese (BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (BMI of 27 or higher) with at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

When combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, Wegovy can support long-term weight loss. Clinical studies have indicated that patients using Wegovy achieve greater weight reduction compared to those making lifestyle changes alone.

Since its approval, Wegovy has expanded treatment options for individuals struggling with obesity, providing medical support to help them reach and maintain a healthier weight.

How Do Wegovy Injections Work?

Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that helps control hunger and food intake by influencing appetite regulation and digestion. It belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a natural hormone that regulates hunger and blood sugar levels.

Benefits of Wegovy for Weight Loss:

  • Reduces Hunger and Cravings – Wegovy interacts with appetite-control centers in the brain, helping lower hunger signals and food cravings.
  • Increases Fullness After Meals – Wegovy injections slow down how quickly the stomach empties, helping you feel fuller for longer, and reducing appetite.
  • Supports Blood Sugar and Metabolism – The medication boosts insulin production and reduces glucose spikes after meals, which can help those with insulin resistance or prediabetes.

Since weight loss results vary from person to person, Wegovy works best when combined with ongoing lifestyle improvements and medical guidance. Consult our team at Just Lose Weight MD for personalized care on your weight loss journey with Wegovy injections in Fairfax, Rockville, and Takoma Park.

Wegovy Injections: Usage and Expectations

Getting started with Wegovy is simple. It is a once-weekly injection that comes in a pre-filled, single-dose pen for easy self-administration at home. Our caring medical providers will guide you on the proper usage, monitoring your progress, and making the necessary adjustments to ensure your weight loss journey stays on track. 

Most patients begin noticing weight loss within the first month, with continued improvement over time. Since Wegovy is introduced gradually to minimize side effects, it takes about 17 weeks to reach the full maintenance dose. With consistent use, a healthy diet, and regular physical activity, results become more noticeable as treatment continues.

At Just Lose Weight MD, we provide customized treatment plans tailored to your health and body’s needs. Whether you’re looking for additional support during your weight loss journey or need post-treatment care, we offer a range of services in Fairfax, Rockville, and Takoma Park to help you achieve your goals at your own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wegovy Injections

Both Ozempic and Wegovy contain semaglutide, but they are used for different purposes. Ozempic is primarily prescribed for type 2 diabetes management and cardiovascular risk reduction, while Wegovy is specifically designed for chronic weight management. Though both medications work similarly, Wegovy is available in higher doses to support higher weight loss.

Weight loss with Wegovy can begin within the first month of treatment, but its full effects take longer to develop. Clinical studies over 68 weeks have shown an average weight loss of 35 lbs. (about 15% of body weight) for patients using Wegovy, compared to 6 lbs. (2.5%) in the control group.

Because Wegovy is introduced gradually to minimize side effects, reaching the full maintenance dose of 2.4 mg weekly typically takes 17 weeks. Consistency with diet, exercise, and medical guidance can help maximize results.

As with any medication, Wegovy may cause side effects, especially when first starting treatment. These often subside as your body adjusts. The most common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain

If you experience persistent or severe side effects, consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

Wegovy is a once-weekly injection available in pre-filled, single-dose pens. Patients self-administer the injection at home after receiving instructions from a healthcare professional. Proper injection technique and site rotation help improve comfort and effectiveness.
