What is Wegovy®?

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics hormones your body naturally produces to help regulate hunger. By slowing digestion and promoting a lasting feeling of fullness, Wegovy® helps you reduce your calorie intake without feeling deprived.

At Premier MedSpa, Dr. Chakeer includes Wegovy® in a customized weight loss plan tailored to your health needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

It’s a science-backed tool designed to support consistent, meaningful progress, not quick fixes.

Who is Wegovy® for?

You may be a candidate for Wegovy® if:

• Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher, or
• Your BMI is 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes.

Before prescribing Wegovy®, Dr. Chakeer performs a full medical evaluation, including labs and a detailed review of your health history. Your plan is carefully designed to align with your body and your goals.

How does Wegovy® support weight loss?

Wegovy® works by targeting the appetite centers in the brain, slowing digestion, and reducing hunger signals. This makes it easier to manage portion sizes, reduce mindless snacking, and build lasting eating habits.

When paired with nutrition guidance and movement, many patients experience weight loss of 10–15% of their starting weight over time.

Dr. Chakeer provides ongoing coaching, accountability, and plan adjustments to keep you supported every step of the way.

What can I expect from treatment?

Wegovy® is a self-injection administered once per week. For treatment, most patients usually begin with a low dose that gradually increases to help minimize side effects like mild nausea or digestive upset. Dr. Chakeer will guide you through each phase of treatment to ensure your comfort and results.
