Weight Loss Q & A

What are the benefits of weight loss?

Weight loss and achieving a healthy size reduces your risk of many health complications, including:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • High cholesterol (hyperlipidemia)
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Sleep apnea
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Male and female infertility
  • Depression
  • Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
  • Eating disorders 
  • Some cancers

When you reach a healthier weight, your overall lifestyle improves, and everyday activities, like walking and household chores, feel more comfortable.

The Syosset Medi Spa team’s goal is to help you lose fat while helping you build and maintain lean muscle mass. This promotes overall health and body tone.

Support includes diet and exercise counseling, complementary treatments like semaglutide injectables, and body composition analyses.

What is semaglutide weight loss support?

Compounded semaglutide, an anti-obesity medication, provides an accessible, cost-effective alternative to other forms of semaglutide like Ozempic® and Wegovy®.

Your provider personalizes your treatment to ensure that your compounded semaglutide strength and dosage meet your needs.
As part of the program, you will:

  • Consult regularly with your expert provider
  • Receive one injection weekly
  • Undergo weekly weigh-ins
  • Receive expert guidance
  • Have access to an InBody test

InBody tests include a full-page result sheet that details your muscle, fat, and water measurements. It helps you and your provider highlight specific areas to focus on.

What is weight loss through a focus on body composition?

Your weight loss journey must focus on losing fat, not muscle. When you measure weight loss only in terms of pounds lost or a lowered body mass index, you can’t really know which weight you’re losing.

Your provider at Syosset Medi Spa uses a specialized scale to measure your body composition. This helps you understand your specific changes in weight and how they reflect in your body.

If you’ve been exercising but don’t see a drop in weight on the scale, your body composition analysis could reveal a decrease in fat levels and an increase in lean muscle mass. This is a great sign and leads to a more toned and firm body.
