Wegovy Dosage Plan
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is an approved weight loss prescription that regulates appetite and manages weight. By imitating the GLP-1 hormone that your body naturally produces when you eat, Wegovy regulates your appetite and diminishes hunger. In fact, Wegovy is ninety-four percent similar to the GLP-1 hormone, making it highly effective in diminishing unwanted hunger and cravings and a highly effective appetite suppressant, negating the use of harmful diets or restrictive eating. It also slows down the gastric emptying process, leaving you full for longer periods of time. Additionally, it reduces the sugar production in your liver, keeping blood sugar levels at a lower and more stable rate.
By regulating appetite, slowing down the digestive process, and lowering sugar production, Wegovy is one of the most efficient prescriptions for promoting weight loss. Some doctors call it “the golden age of treating obesity” due to the many available weight loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, being some of the best treatments.
While semaglutide medication was initially used to treat type 2 diabetes, Wegovy is one of the first approved weight loss prescriptions to transform the health of many patients in over twenty-two years. Our weight loss program offers the medication through a weekly, self-administered injection .

For Kirkland patients, Northwest Face & Body offers an all-encompassing weight loss program combining the Wegovy with diet and exercise programs to produce the best results. Before a patient can begin the program, they will attend an in-person or virtual consultation so the practitioner can ensure the patient is the right candidate for Wegovy.
While Wegovy is a beneficial tool in weight loss, our providers understand that creating a balanced lifestyle is key to improving quality of life. Diets shouldn’t be harmful or intimidating, and through this program, patients will receive a customized diet plan that uses practical meal plans easily used in everyday life. The exercise program can be practiced through daily activities and achievable workouts.
This program was carefully designed to maximize the benefits of Wegovy and aid patients in regaining their health. After they are cleared to begin the treatment, patients will attend monthly in-person or virtual check-ins with their practitioner. During these check-ins, the practitioner will track the patient’s progress and adjust the dosage of Wegovy to fit the patient’s needs. All of this provides structure and balance for the patient to create a healthy lifestyle.
