Semaglutide: A Breakthrough in Medical Weight Loss

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, now widely used as a highly effective option for medical weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control.

At Lite Medical, we offer semaglutide therapy as part of a comprehensive weight management program—providing medical supervision, lifestyle guidance, and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results here.

What Are the Benefits of Semaglutide?

Clinical studies show significant weight reduction with consistent use under medical supervision.

Enhances insulin sensitivity, supports stable blood sugar levels, and reduces risk factors for diabetes.

Typically administered as a simple, weekly injection.

As weight decreases, patients often report improved energy, mobility, and overall well-being.
