Semaglutide is an injectable medication used for treating type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management. It helps improve blood sugar control and promotes weight loss by curbing appetite and reducing food cravings.
Semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1 that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. It sends signals of fullness and satisfaction to the brain after eating smaller portions of food. Over time, this can help retrain eating behaviors and habits.
At Revive Hormone Clinic in Dania Beach, we offer semaglutide injections as part of customized weight loss and diabetes treatment plans. With regular injections paired with lifestyle changes, many patients see significant improvements in HbA1c levels and weight loss of 15-20% or more.
Some key benefits of semaglutide therapy include:
With customized medical weight loss plans incorporating semaglutide, patients at our Dania Beach hormone clinic can achieve better health.

Revive Hormone Clinic creates fully customized plans to help patients get the most out of semaglutide for safe, sustainable weight loss and blood sugar control.
The process for self-administering weekly semaglutide shots is simple:

With this level of support, most patients adjust well to the weekly injection process. They also establish healthier eating habits and activity levels for lasting success.

With personnel certified in nutrition, fitness, and counseling, Revive Hormone Clinic offers extensive resources to help patients modify behaviors conducive to weight maintenance and wellbeing.
Semaglutide is structurally similar to a human hormone called GLP-1 that helps control blood sugar levels. When injected, semaglutide mimics the effects of GLP-1 leading to improved glycemic control, but an unexpected side effect is moderate weight loss, making it one of only a few anti-diabetic medications that also aids weight reduction.
A few factors influence patient experiences and satisfaction with semaglutide treatment:
Adhering to prescribed dosing, lab tests, and follow up visits enables safe monitoring and timely medication adjustments. Frequent patient-provider collaboration improves weight loss.
Revive Hormone Clinic uses convenient telehealth options along with in-clinic care. We work collaboratively with patients, customizing plans to needs and barriers.
