Understanding Semaglutide and Its Role in Weight Loss
Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of semaglutide for weight loss. Participants who received the medication experienced more significant body weight reductions than those taking a placebo or other anti-obesity medications. Additionally, this drug improved various health markers such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
At The Aesthetic Edit, we use personalized consultations to determine if sematglutide can and should play a role in your weight loss journey. We understand that every individual has different experiences with weight loss. Although it is the breakthrough many people have been waiting for, it won’t be for everyone. Together, we can determine if it affects your weight loss journey.
The Benefits of Using Semaglutide for Weight Loss
- Effective Weight Loss: Semaglutide has shown significant results in helping individuals lose weight. In clinical trials, participants who took semaglutide achieved an average weight loss of 15% to 20%. This success rate is higher than other weight loss medications on the market.
- Improved Health Markers: Besides aiding in weight loss, semaglutide also helps improve various health markers associated with obesity. It can reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and enhance glycemic control. These improvements contribute to overall better health outcomes for individuals struggling with obesity.
- Long-Term Sustained Results: One advantage of using semaglutide for weight loss is the potential for maintaining long-term sustainable results. Studies have shown that even after stopping treatment, most participants could sustain their weight loss. This makes it a promising option for those looking to lose weight and maintain their progress over time.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Semaglutide?
Semaglutide may be an effective weight loss solution for individuals who have struggled to shed excess pounds through diet and exercise alone.
- Those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, indicating obesity, are potential candidates for semaglutide.
- Individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher, along with at least one weight-related health issue such as high blood pressure or diabetes, may also benefit from this treatment.
- Patients who are motivated and committed to making long-term lifestyle changes and taking the medication tend to see the best results.
- People with higher than optimal bodyfat levels
- People who are unhappy with their body composition, could be at a healthier bodyweight, and struggle to maintain healthy habits.
Here at The Aesthetic Edit, we’ll take you through a multi-step plan to determine if you’re a good candidate for semaglutide. Our decision is made in the early stages of our curated weight-loss plan:
- Consultation – let’s determine if it’s is right for you!
- Complete lab workup – we want to see what’s working and what isn’t working in the body to understand better what we need to work on together.
- Lifestyle consultation – let’s discuss what you’ve tried already and what has and hasn’t worked for you so we can make an informed decision about your weight loss plan.
Our decision about someone’s candidacy for semaglutide isn’t based on one factor alone. While we take you through an initial consultation, we consider not only BMI, but bodyfat levels to make sure you get care tailored to your needs.
The Role of Semaglutide in a Comprehensive Weight Loss Plan
Semaglutide should not be seen as a magic pill but as a tool in your arsenal for achieving sustainable weight loss. Incorporating healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and behavioral modifications is essential. By addressing the physiological factors influencing body weight through medication and adopting long-term lifestyle changes, you can maximize your chances of reaching your weight loss goals.
