How semaglutide weight loss injections can help patients reach their weight loss goals
Dr. Lisa Ohman Erhard and her staff at LAK Medspa in Wayzata, Minnesota, understand that losing weight can be challenging for some to live a longer, healthier life. Changing certain lifestyle habits can be hard, and diet and exercise alone might not provide the results patients desire. Our team may suggest integrating semaglutide weight loss injections into your routine in situations like this. Below are some frequently asked questions about semaglutide injections for weight loss.
What are LAK Medspa weight loss injections?
At LAK Medspa of Wayzata, Minnesota, Dr. Lisa Ohman Erhard and her staff offer medical treatment that can help reduce overall weight. This medical weight loss program might include the integration of semaglutide injections. These shots contain the medication semaglutide, which is FDA-approved for weight loss in adult patients with obesity or those who are overweight and have at least one weight-related health condition.
What is semaglutide, and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a category known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by actually mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), which regulates blood sugar levels and decreases one’s appetite. Semaglutide has been used in higher doses as a diabetes treatment, but it was recently approved for weight loss at a lower dose.
How do semaglutide shots work to reduce my weight?
In addition to improved diet and exercise, semaglutide injections can help with weight loss by decreasing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness. This helps our patients stay on track with their healthy habits and make sustainable progress towards their weight loss goals.

Is the use of semaglutide injections safe for weight loss?
Semaglutide has been extensively and closely studied and is deemed safe for weight loss when used as directed under medical supervision. Like any medication, it may have potential side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, but these are usually mild and temporary.
Who can benefit from using semaglutide for weight loss?
Semaglutide, when used for weight loss and not diabetic patients, is specifically approved for adults who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more or a BMI of 27 or more with at least one weight-related medical or health condition like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or even high cholesterol. It is not suitable for use in children and adolescents.

It really has changed my life because I felt like the dermatologist always said, you have to keep waiting it out. And it was so hard to wait it out. I never went to bed worrying, you know, that I’d have, you know, something go on with my skin the next day before a client meeting or something really important in my life or before a major event going on. And so I just think that coming to Wayzata Skin Care really made a huge impact in my professional life, in my career. Just knowing that everything with my skin was going to be consistent and reliable has really brought such a calm peace of mind. And I’m really appreciative of that.

I had tried diet and exercise for weight loss. My mood just didn’t seem right. I know myself, and I just feel like my health could be more optimal and one of the things that I had not investigated yet was hormone balancing. So once you decide you’re going to pursue that, it’s like, where do you go? Because I feel like there’s a lot of places doing it, probably not doing it well and I knew I wanted to go to a female provider because it’s just a different kind of care, woman to woman, which led me to finding Wayzata Cosmetic Surgery and Spa.
