Semaglutide



Chronic weight is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, causing them to lead an unsatisfactory lifestyle.

Despite their efforts, not everyone can quickly eliminate excess weight. This is where medical weight management comes in, with semaglutide treatments being among the most popular options. At Allure Image, patients with excess weight can obtain access to semaglutide treatments, improving their weight loss journey.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for semaglutide treatments are patients with a minimum BMI of 27 who are struggling with excess weight and obesity. They should have at least one health condition related to their weight, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. Semaglutide treatments are an excellent option for those who have tried traditional methods to lose weight but were unsuccessful. In that case, semaglutide can improve progress on their weight loss journey. So, individuals undertaking weight loss treatment should understand that semaglutide works best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. Pregnant or new mothers are advised not to take the semaglutide treatment and should wait until the breastfeeding stage is over. Patients with a history of thyroid disease and those who have allergies to any of the components of the product should avoid taking this treatment. A consultation is recommended to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure.

How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide targets the GLP-1 receptors of your weight, which are responsible for controlling how much food you consume. The injection imitates incretin, a natural hormone that occurs in your digestive tract after you eat, telling you that you are full. With semaglutide injections, most patients should be able to eat less with each meal, reducing their appetite and helping them lose weight. Semaglutide treatments also slow down the stomach-emptying process, helping you feel full for longer periods of time. This takes away the urge to snack, reducing your calorie intake. The treatment is administered subcutaneously once a week, with the active ingredients regulating your cravings and appetite in the long term. The treatment also stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin, thus decreasing your blood sugar level. Semaglutide lowers your appetite, reducing your cravings for sweets and more. This specific function of semaglutide is what makes it an effective choice for patients with diabetes, improving wellness and allowing you to lose weight faster.

Recovery

As semaglutide treatments are minimally invasive, the potential for downtime is reduced. If the product is administered through an injection, patients may notice some redness and slight swelling at the site, although these effects are short-lived. Most patients can return to their daily routine right after getting the injections. Patients should still expect a series of side effects, especially at the beginning of the treatment. These symptoms are often mild and usually fade once the body becomes accustomed to the substance. To reduce these side effects, professionals at Allure Image often recommend starting at a lower dosage and increasing it later. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal troubles like gassiness, constipation, and diarrhea. Some patients may also notice bloating, nausea, and vomiting, especially during the first days. Dizziness, fatigue, and headaches can be potential symptoms, which is why patients should avoid driving at first. Individuals undergoing treatment might want to avoid large, fatty meals to reduce these effects as much as possible. Meals should be small and should be eaten at least three to four hours before you lie down. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, especially if you have symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea.

Results

The results of semaglutide treatments may vary from one person to the other. For the most part, it takes around one to two weeks for the treatment to start making changes in your body. The amount of body fat lost per week can depend on the dosage and lifestyle, with most patients losing around four lbs per week. Most patients start seeing results within two months of treatment, but others may take four or more months to see visible changes. This mostly depends on the starting weight and what your goal is. It is recommended that you follow a healthy exercise regimen and diet to obtain the best results. On average, patients taking semaglutide for one year can lose up to 12 percent of their weight. The more the treatment is taken, the more weight can be lost in the long run. When combined with a good diet and regular exercise, the body can become better shaped, and many weight-related side effects may be reduced.

What is a Vi Peel?

A Vi Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to enhance the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin. The solution peels away damaged outer skin layers to uncover new, fresh, and healthy skin. It is a gentle yet effective peel that will work on any kind of skin without long recovery periods in contrast to many other harsh chemical peels.

This peel is well suited for improvement of multiple skin issues like:
‍
1) Fine lines and wrinkles
2) Acne and resulting scarring
3) Hyperpigmentation and damage from the sun
4) Large pores
5) Skin texture of rough or bumpy nature

At Allure Image Enhancement in Upland, we personalize the Vi Peel to you and your skin's needs to get maximum results with minimal discomfort.

The Vi Peel Process at Allure Image Enhancement

When you choose Allure Image Enhancement for your Vi Peel treatment, you will experience a fully personalized and highly professional engagement every step of the way. Here is what you should expect throughout your Vi Peel journey:

1) Consultation: Your Vi Peel experience starts with an in-depth consultation with one of our skin care experts. We will review your skin concerns, your skin type, and determine whether a Vi Peel is the appropriate treatment for you.
2) Preparation: On the day of treatment, your skin will be cleaned well from make-up, oils, and impurities before the peel application.
3) Application: The Vi Peel solution will be meticulously applied to your skin in layers. A slight tingling sensation is possible during application, but this is usually quite minimal and temporary.
4) Peeling: Over the following days, peeling will begin to take effect; however, beneath the peeling skin is the newly fresh and luminous skin. Peeling commonly commences on the 3rd day and can continue for up to one week.
5) After Care: After your Vi Peel, we will provide detailed instructions for your aftercare to have the most beautiful healing possible. Stay away from sun exposure. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer on your healing skin.

After Your Vi Peel

Peeling of the skin along with some redness is quite common after a Vi Peel at Allure Image Enhancement. The red hue your skin takes on means the procedure is removing the damaged upper layers of skin. Here is a brief description of what to expect:

- Day 1-2: Your skin may feel tight and slightly red, sort of like a mild sunburn.
- Day 3-4: Peeling usually starts from around the mouth and then proceeds to cover the rest of the face.
- Days 5-7: For most people, this is the period during which peeling continues and new, fresher skin is visible.
- Day 7+: At this point most of the peeling will be over with, and a softer skin with more radiance shows up.

It is important to adhere to all the aftercare provided by your skin specialist: the avoidance of direct sun exposure, a gentle cleanser, and application of moisturizer are key elements for skin protection and the best possible results.
