Semaglutide mimics a gut hormone that regulates appetite and satiety, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing food cravings. This leads to decreased calorie intake and gradual weight loss.
Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight management and has been used safely and effectively in millions of people. However, it can have side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which typically subside over time.
Semaglutide is also approved for treating type 2 diabetes. Consult your doctor to determine if it's right for you, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
Weight loss results vary by individual and depend on factors like diet, exercise, and overall health. Studies show an average weight loss of 15% or more over a year with semaglutide and lifestyle changes.
Long-term data on semaglutide for weight management is still emerging. However, studies haven't shown any significant long-term risks so far. It's important to continue regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your progress and address any potential concerns.
IV hydration delivers fluids and electrolytes directly into your bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for faster absorption. This can combat dehydration, boost energy levels, and improve mental clarity.
The contents of an IV hydration bag will vary depending on your needs and the specific treatment offered by your medspa. However, some common ingredients include:
- Saline solution: This base fluid replenishes your body's fluids and electrolytes, like sodium and potassium.
- Vitamins and minerals: B vitamins, vitamin C, and magnesium are often included to support energy levels, immunity, and overall well-being.
- Antioxidants: Glutathione and other antioxidants can help combat free radical damage and reduce inflammation.
- Amino acids: These building blocks of protein can aid in muscle recovery and repair, making IV hydration popular among athletes and those seeking post-workout support.
IV hydration can be effective in alleviating hangover symptoms by rapidly replenishing fluids and electrolytes lost through dehydration and alcohol consumption. However, it's not a cure-all, and responsible alcohol consumption and proper hydration throughout the day are still essential for preventing hangovers.
The typical IV hydration session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the amount of fluid infused and the individual's veins. You'll comfortably relax in a recliner while the IV drip delivers the hydration and nutrients directly into your bloodstream.
