What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved prescription medication originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes and now widely recognized for its powerful effects on weight loss. It belongs to a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic a natural hormone that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism.

At Auri Aesthetics in Gilbert, Semaglutide is used as part of our comprehensive Medical Weight Loss and Wellness programs. The treatment works by slowing digestion, reducing hunger, and improving the body’s ability to use insulin efficiently. The result is gradual, sustainable fat reduction and a renewed sense of energy and focus without extreme dieting or deprivation.

The Auri Approach to Metabolic Wellness

Auri’s approach to Semaglutide therapy is intentional and personalized. We view metabolic balance as the foundation of long-term health, not simply a means to lose weight. Each treatment plan is guided by diagnostic testing, clinical expertise, and continuous follow-up to ensure safe, steady progress.

Our providers integrate Semaglutide with nutrition guidance, hormone evaluation, and lifestyle support, creating a holistic program that restores the body’s natural rhythm and enhances overall wellness.

Our Process

  • Comprehensive consultation to review health history and goals
  • Laboratory testing to assess hormones, metabolism, and glucose levels
  • Customized Semaglutide plan based on clinical data and patient needs
  • Weekly injections administered in-office or at home (as directed)
  • Ongoing monitoring and support to track progress and adjust dosing

At Auri, every phase of treatment is monitored by licensed medical professionals to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

How Semaglutide Works

Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors, which help control appetite and slow gastric emptying. This means food stays in the stomach longer, promoting fullness and reducing hunger signals to the brain. It also improves insulin response, stabilizing blood sugar and preventing energy crashes or cravings.

Unlike stimulant-based weight loss medications, Semaglutide works with the body’s natural mechanisms to achieve balance, making it both effective and sustainable for long-term metabolic health.

Combined Treatment Strategies

Semaglutide is most effective when integrated with Auri’s broader wellness ecosystem.

  • Hormone Optimization: Addresses underlying imbalances that may affect metabolism.
  • Peptide Therapy: Enhances cellular repair and muscle retention during weight loss.
  • IV Vitamin Therapy: Supports hydration, recovery, and energy while the body adjusts.
  • Nutrition & Lifestyle Support: Ensures long-term success and stable energy levels.

This holistic model reflects Auri’s core philosophy: treating the whole person, not just the symptom.

Ideal Candidates

Semaglutide may be right for adults who:

  • Struggle with appetite control or stubborn weight retention
  • Experience slow metabolism or insulin resistance
  • Want a medically guided solution for long-term results
  • Have not seen success with traditional diets or exercise alone
  • Value a holistic approach that integrates wellness and aesthetics

Your provider will review your health history and determine if Semaglutide is safe and appropriate for your needs.

What to Expect During Treatment

Semaglutide is typically administered once weekly via a small subcutaneous injection. The dosage is gradually increased over time to allow your body to adjust comfortably. Most patients report noticeable appetite regulation within the first two to three weeks, with visible body composition changes developing over the following months.

Aftercare and Lifestyle Support

  • Maintain hydration and balanced nutrition
  • Prioritize protein intake to preserve lean muscle
  • Engage in regular movement and restorative exercise
  • Attend scheduled follow-ups for lab testing and progress evaluation
  • Report any side effects, such as mild nausea or fatigue, for management

Results and Longevity

Semaglutide produces gradual, steady results. Most patients experience meaningful fat reduction within 8 to 12 weeks, with continued improvement over six months or more. Because it promotes hormonal and metabolic balance, the effects can last long-term when paired with continued wellness care.

At Auri, our goal is not just weight loss; it’s transformation. By supporting the body’s natural systems, we help you sustain results and feel better in every aspect of your health.
