How to Administer Semaglutide Weekly Medication
Semaglutide injections in Seattle are usually administered in one of three places each week: the stomach, the thigh, or the upper arm. Patients should rotate the injection site to prevent skin irritation and infection. On the stomach, the injection should be about one or two inches away from the belly button on either side. For the thigh injection, it should be given on the lateral or outer thigh. The inner thigh should be avoided. Finally, for the upper arm injection, the injection is given on the back of the arm which may require help to administer at first.
As a subcutaneous injection, the Semaglutide weight loss shots usually are not too painful and can be comfortably injected at home with minimal instruction. With that said, patients can have a loved one help them or—if possible and viable—can come into the Allure Esthetic office for their weekly dose of Semaglutide.
