What Are Weight Loss Injections?
Weight management injections using FDA-approved semaglutide can help individuals achieve their weight loss goals by controlling appetite and slowing gastric emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake. These injectable weight loss medications are part of a medically-supervised weight loss program, ensuring optimal safety and effectiveness.
At our Greensboro practice, Dr. Contogiannis partners with an FDA pharmacy to create custom injectable weight loss medications that also include B vitamins, boosting cell metabolism and energy levels.
What Can FDA-Approved Weight Loss Injections Achieve?
When conducted under the support and supervision of a qualified doctor or board-certified plastic surgeon, FDA-approved weight loss injections can provide sustainable, long-term weight loss. In many cases, these treatments allow a patient to finally achieve the health goals they were unable to reach with dieting and exercise alone. By treating obesity and weight loss as a metabolic condition rather than a matter of willpower, FDA-regulated weight loss medications can:
- Reduce hunger and appetite
- Increase satiety and allow patients to feel fuller faster than they normally would
- Complement a healthy diet and exercise regimen for safe and effective weight loss
- Slow digestion and improve metabolic function
Unlike weight loss programs undertaken at a patient’s own risk, Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery and Wellness only provides Greensboro patients with physician-supervised weight loss tailored to each person’s needs, medical history, and individual concerns. We strive to provide patients with safe and effective ways to achieve their desired appearance and health goals.
