How Saxenda Works
Here at AL Aesthetics, our Saxenda Birmingham treatment works by using an active ingredient called liraglutide, which is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that originates from the naturally occurring hormone in the human body.
Saxenda operates by mimicking the action of GLP-1 hormone, which plays a pivotal role in regulating hunger levels and controlling blood sugar. By activating the GLP-1 receptors, Saxenda slows down gastric emptying, reduces appetite and increases satiety. As a result, individuals receiving this treatment tend to eat less, resulting in decreased calorie intake and supporting weight loss goals.
The treatment is ideal for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30 kg/m² or those with a BMI over 27 kg/m² with existing weight-related health complications such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia.
Side Effects
The Saxenda treatment at our weight loss clinic Birmingham UK is proven to be a highly safe and effective solution for those wanting to shed pounds and improve their health. However, as with any treatment, there are a few side effects it is important to be aware of.
One of the most common side effects of Saxenda Birmingham is gastrointestinal disturbances, which can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. In most cases, these side effects are temporary and tend to disappear as the body adjusts to the medication.
Additionally, patients who use this medication may experience elevated heart rates, which can contribute to cardiovascular complications for those with pre-existing heart conditions. Some patients may also experience pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas which causes severe abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and rapid weight loss.
Some reports indicate that Saxenda may be linked to thyroid C-cell tumours (medullary thyroid carcinoma). Although these cases are relatively rare, patients experiencing symptoms such as neck mass, difficulty swallowing, or shortness of breath should consult their healthcare provider promptly.
If you are experiencing any of these side effects, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Saxenda is most effective when accompanied by meaningful lifestyle adjustments. This combination forms the foundation for a successful weight loss journey. While the Saxenda Birmingham treatment can help to curb your appetite and stimulate weight loss, it truly thrives when integrated into a broader strategy of healthier living.
By embracing a balanced diet and engaging in regular physical activity, you're not only enhancing the treatments potential but also fostering sustainable, long-term results. Crafting a well-rounded diet, setting achievable fitness goals, and practicing mindful eating can all help to enhance the results.
The synergy of Saxenda and lifestyle changes empowers you to not just shed excess weight but to maintain your achievements for a healthier, happier future.
The Process: What to Expect
The beginning of your Saxenda Birmingham journey will start with a consultation with our specialists at our state-of-the-art Birmingham clinic. We will then arrange for you to be seen by our in-house doctor who will provide you with the professional guidance and proper training you need to be able to safely administer the treatment at home.
During your consultation, our in-house doctor will determine your required dosage based on your personal weight loss goals and expectations, and discuss any lifestyle changes that can help support them. You will then self-administer daily doses of the treatment for your required length of time.
We will invite you back to our weight loss clinic Birmingham, to review your progress and ensure you are happy with the results.
