WEIGHT LOSS INJECTION
Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections Villa Park & Des Plaines, IL
At Aziz Medical Center, we understand that maintaining a healthy weight can feel like an ongoing battle, influenced by genetics, lifestyle challenges, and other factors. That’s why we offer Semaglutide as part of our comprehensive weight loss solutions at our Villa Park and Des Plaines locations.
MEDICALLY-SUPERVISED WEIGHT LOSS
Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, stimulating natural insulin production to lower blood sugar levels. This hormone also affects the brain’s hunger signals, suppressing appetite and promoting a feeling of fullness. In 2021, the FDA approved Semaglutide as a weight loss treatment when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Benefits of Semaglutide
With Semaglutide treatments, our patients can achieve significant weight loss with less stress. This injectable solution eliminates the need to remember daily medication and helps curb hunger and cravings.

Your Semaglutide treatment
Semaglutide injections take just minutes to administer, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Using an ultra-thin needle, the injection is given in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh, avoiding areas with bruising or scars. Most patients experience little to no discomfort.
Gradual, noticeable results
Semaglutide delivers gradual and sustained weight loss. Within the first few months, most patients lose 5-10% of their body weight. With continued treatment, it has been shown to help patients achieve a 15-20% reduction in body weight.
Recovery & aftercare
Most patients experience little to no side effects. However, some may notice mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dizziness as their body adjusts to treatment. These symptoms, if present, typically resolve within a few days or weeks.
