Semaglutide Weight Loss Treatment at Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw MD
Are you struggling to achieve your weight loss goals? At Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw MD, we offer Semaglutide, a revolutionary weight management solution. Our expert team at our Richmond and Midlothian locations is ready to help you on your journey to a healthier you.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake. By using Semaglutide, you can:
- Reduce hunger and cravings
- Feel fuller longer
- Achieve sustainable weight loss
This medication has shown remarkable results in clinical trials, helping patients achieve significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. Unlike many other weight loss medications, Semaglutide works by targeting the brain’s appetite control centers, making it easier for you to stick to a reduced-calorie diet.

Semaglutide is typically administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Our team will teach you how to self-administer the medication at home, providing detailed instructions to ensure you feel confident in the process. You’ll feel a quick pinch during injection, but most patients find it very manageable.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Results vary, but clinical trials have shown that many patients lose 15-20% of their body weight over 68 weeks of treatment. Individual results may differ based on factors such as starting weight, diet, exercise habits and adherence to the treatment plan.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea and constipation. These often subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Our team will monitor you closely and provide strategies to minimize discomfort, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout your treatment journey.

Semaglutide is generally recommended for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater (obese) or 27 or greater (overweight) who have at least one weight-related health condition. During your consultation, we’ll determine if it’s the right choice for you based on your health history and weight loss goals.
