Medical weight loss
A Medical Approach to Appetite, Metabolism, and Long-Term Results using a GLP-1 at Bloom Aesthetics & Wellness

If you feel like you’re doing everything right — eating better, trying to exercise, cutting calories — yet the scale refuses to move, you’re not alone. For many adults, weight gain is no longer just about discipline. It becomes a hormone and metabolic regulation issue.

Semaglutide is a medically supervised treatment designed to correct the biological signals that drive hunger, cravings, and fat storage.

At Bloom Aesthetics & Wellness in Frederick, Maryland, semaglutide is prescribed as part of a structured medical weight management program, not as a quick fix.

What Semaglutide Helps Improve

• Reduces constant hunger and snacking
• Helps you feel full with smaller portions
• Improves insulin resistance and blood sugar stability
• Supports fat loss rather than muscle loss
• May improve cardiovascular and inflammatory markers
• Helps patients maintain consistency with healthy habits

Unlike traditional dieting, patients commonly report their appetite finally feels normal.

What Is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone released after eating that signals the brain you’ve had enough food.

It was originally developed for type 2 diabetes and later approved for chronic weight management because of its strong metabolic effects.

The medication works by addressing the root drivers of weight gain:

Appetite signaling
Insulin regulation
Gastric emptying
Energy balance

This is why weight loss feels different on treatment — you are not fighting your body anymore.

How Semaglutide Supports Weight Loss

Semaglutide does not increase metabolism like stimulants.
It regulates hunger so your behavior naturally changes.

Patients typically experience:

Less food noise
Less emotional eating
Smaller portions without effort
Longer satisfaction after meals

The goal is appetite control, not restriction.

Benefits Beyond the Scale

Many patients also notice improvements in metabolic health:

Better blood sugar control
Reduced waist circumference
Improved cholesterol markers
Reduced inflammation
Potential fatty liver improvement

For patients with insulin resistance or perimenopausal weight gain, these effects can be significant.

Who Is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?

You may benefit from semaglutide if you have:

BMI ≥ 27 with health concerns
BMI ≥ 30
Prediabetes or insulin resistance
Menopause-related weight gain
Difficulty losing weight despite lifestyle efforts

You may not be a candidate if you have:

Personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Certain endocrine conditions

All patients at Bloom undergo a medical consultation and lab review before treatment.

When Will You Notice Results?

Week 1–2
Reduced hunger

Week 4–8
Clothes fitting differently, improved energy

Week 12+
Visible fat loss and metabolic improvement

Sustainable weight loss occurs gradually — this is intentional and healthier for the body.

What Semaglutide Does Not Do

It does not replace nutrition
It does not burn fat directly
It does not permanently prevent regain if habits stop
It does not work well without medical guidance

Medication creates the opportunity — lifestyle creates permanence.

Why Medical Supervision Matters

At Bloom Aesthetics & Wellness, dosing is individualized and adjusted gradually to minimize side effects and maximize results. Many patients fail these medications elsewhere due to incorrect titration or lack of follow-up.

Your plan includes:

Medical evaluation
Lab monitoring
Dose adjustments
Nutrition guidance
Ongoing follow-up

This is metabolic care, not just a prescription.
