You may ask if weight loss injections can help you. These treatments help you lose weight by making you less hungry. They also help your body burn calories faster. Around 12.4% of adults in the U.S. use these treatments now. Studies show people lose weight for a long time, especially if they have health problems. Some people feel sick or have stomach problems. AOMA gives safe and new ways to help you lose weight.
Key Takeaways
Weight loss injections, like semaglutide, can help you feel less hungry. They can also help your body burn more calories. This can lead to a lot of weight loss over time.
Fat dissolving injections work on stubborn fat in certain spots. They are not for losing weight all over your body. They work best for shaping small problem areas.
Talk to your doctor to see if weight loss injections are good for you. This is important if you have health problems or take other medicines.
How Weight Loss Injections Work
Many people want to know how weight loss injections help. These treatments use science to change how your body feels hunger and uses fat. Let's look at how they work and what you might notice.
Semaglutide Injections Explained
Semaglutide injections have changed how people deal with obesity. When you use semaglutide, it works with your brain and body. It helps you eat less and burn more energy. Here is what happens:
Mechanism | Description |
GLP-1 Receptor Interaction | Semaglutide connects with GLP-1 receptors in your brain to reduce hunger. |
Appetite Regulation | It helps you feel full by turning on “fullness” signals and turning off “hunger” signals. |
Leptin Interaction | Semaglutide helps your body use leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. |
Energy Metabolism | It boosts your body's ability to burn calories and manage weight. |
Semaglutide injections do more than make you less hungry. They slow down your stomach, so you feel full longer. They also help your body send signals to your brain that you have eaten enough.
Most people start with a small dose. You might begin with 0.25 mg once a week for the first month. After that, your doctor may raise the dose to 0.5 mg weekly. Later, you might get 1.0 mg or even 2.4 mg per week if needed. This slow increase helps your body get used to the medicine and lowers side effects.
AOMA's semaglutide injections follow this plan. You get a simple shot once a week, usually in your belly or arm. Many people see results fast. Clinical trials show people can lose up to 13.4% of their body weight in six months. Some people lose over 20% after two years.
You can see that semaglutide injections help with long-term weight loss. They work best when you also eat healthy and stay active.
Fat Dissolving Injections Overview
Fat dissolving injections give you another way to target stubborn fat. These shots work best for small areas, like under your chin or around your belly. They use special ingredients to break down fat cells. Your body then removes the fat naturally.
Mechanism | Description |
Active Ingredients | Most fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine. |
Action | These ingredients break open fat cells and turn solid fat into liquid. |
Elimination | Your body clears out the liquid fat through the lymphatic system. |
When you get these injections, you may notice swelling, redness, or mild pain where you got the shot. These effects usually go away after a few days. Most people need two to four sessions to see the best results. Each session can reduce fat in the treated area by 20-30%.
Tip: Fat dissolving injections are not for overall weight loss. They work best for shaping small problem spots.
Ozempic for Weight Loss
You may have heard about Ozempic for weight loss. Ozempic uses the same main ingredient as semaglutide injections, but there are some key differences.
Feature | Ozempic | Semaglutide (Wegovy) |
FDA Approval | Type 2 diabetes | Chronic weight management |
Dosing Regimen | Once weekly (lower doses) | Once weekly (higher doses) |
Average Weight Loss | 9.4% in SUSTAIN 7 trial | 15% in STEP trial |
Side Effects | Similar to semaglutide | Similar to Ozempic |
Cost | Usually more affordable | Usually less affordable |
Ozempic is approved to help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar. It also lowers the risk of heart and kidney problems. Doctors sometimes prescribe Ozempic for weight loss, but it is not officially a weight loss drug. In studies, people using Ozempic lost about 9.4% of their body weight. People using higher-dose semaglutide (like Wegovy) lost about 15%.
Ozempic is best for people with diabetes who also want to lose weight.
Semaglutide injections like Wegovy are made for people with obesity who need help with weight loss.
Both options work by helping you feel full and eat less, but the doses and goals are different.
If you want to use weight loss injections, talk to your doctor about which one fits your needs. AOMA offers semaglutide injections designed for safe and effective weight management, especially for people dealing with obesity.

Weight Management Benefits
If you want to manage your weight, you want something that works. Weight loss injections can help you reach your goals. They make it easier to eat less and stop cravings. These shots help you eat fewer calories and burn more calories. This leads to real changes in your body. Many people see big changes in their weight and health with these treatments.

People using semaglutide lose more weight than those using older medicines or a placebo. Most people lose about 10% of their body weight. This helps stop problems like high blood pressure and diabetes. You also get better control of your blood sugar.

Did not discontinue | 11.9% | 67.9% |

Weight loss injections are easy to use. You only need a shot once a week or every two weeks. There is no surgery or long recovery time. You can keep doing your normal activities. These treatments do not leave scars or need you to rest for days.
Note: Weight loss injections work best with healthy eating and exercise. They help you manage extra weight, but you still need to make good choices.
Who Should Consider Weight Loss Injections
Not everyone needs weight loss injections. They can help if you have trouble losing weight with diet and exercise. You might think about these shots if you have a high BMI or health problems like type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol. Some people use these injections even if they do not have diabetes.
You may be a good fit if you:
Have trouble losing weight with just lifestyle changes.
Have a BMI over 30, or over 27 with health problems.
Want to stop health problems and get healthier.
Need help eating less and stopping cravings.
Want a non-surgical way to manage your weight.
Some people should not use these treatments. Certain health problems and medicines can make them risky. Here is a table to show who should not use weight loss injections:
Pre-existing Condition/Medication | Explanation |
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) | Higher risk of thyroid tumors, including cancer. |
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) | High risk of getting thyroid tumors. |
Allergies to Semaglutide | Can cause mild to very bad allergic reactions. |
Severe Gastrointestinal Disorders | May make stomach problems worse. |
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding | We do not know if it is safe for babies. |
Insulin and Other Diabetes Medications | Higher risk of low blood sugar when mixed. |
