Are you frustrated with stubborn weight that won’t budge despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, at Third Eye Beauty Lounge in Tempe, AZ we offer a promising solution: Semaglutide injections. These innovative weight loss injections have helped countless individuals across the country, and now they’re available right here at our medspa.
What Are Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide injections are a medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. They mimic the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion. As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, Semaglutide not only helps control blood sugar but is also approved for weight loss in adults struggling with obesity or being overweight.
How Semaglutide Works for Weight Loss
Semaglutide aids weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, leading to decreased food intake. When injected, it binds to GLP-1 receptors, stimulating insulin release and lowering blood sugar levels. Clinical trials show that participants lost an average of 15-20% of their body weight over 6-8 months, significantly more than those on a placebo. However, it’s essential to pair Semaglutide with a healthy diet and regular exercise for optimal results.
How Long Before You See Results?
The timeline for seeing results from Semaglutide can vary. While it may start to lower blood sugar and reduce appetite within hours, significant weight loss typically occurs over several weeks or months. Studies indicate that with the recommended dose of 2.4 mg once a week, many individuals see substantial weight loss within 16-20 weeks. Keep in mind that individual results depend on various factors, including starting weight, diet, and overall health.
Potential Side Effects
Like any medication, Semaglutide can cause side effects. Common ones include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
These side effects are generally mild and tend to resolve on their own within a few days or weeks. It’s crucial to inform our team at Third Eye Beauty Lounge about any medical conditions or medications you’re taking, as Semaglutide may interact with other treatments.

Are You a Candidate for Semaglutide Injections?
Semaglutide is generally recommended for those with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related condition. However, eligibility should be assessed individually, considering overall health and medical history.
Semaglutide may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of certain medical conditions, such as pancreatitis or medullary thyroid carcinoma, should not use it. Always inform your provider of any medications you’re taking, especially other GLP-1 agonists.
