If you are seeking a clinically proven and safe method to lose weight, Saxenda injections in Dubai & Abu Dhabi offer an effective solution. This FDA-approved injectable medication, containing liraglutide, is designed to help adults with obesity or excess weight achieve sustainable weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
What is Saxenda?
Saxenda is a prescription weight-loss injection that works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. By targeting GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Saxenda helps reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, enabling you to consume fewer calories naturally.
How Does Saxenda Work?
- Appetite Suppression: Slows stomach emptying and controls hunger signals.
- Calorie Reduction: Helps you eat less without feeling deprived.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: Improves glucose control, beneficial especially for those with type 2 diabetes.
Benefits of Saxenda Injections in Dubai
- Clinically Proven Weight Loss: Studies show users can lose up to 4.5% of their body weight with proper use.
- Improved Health Markers: Reduces risks associated with obesity, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes.
- Non-Surgical and Convenient: Administered once daily via injection, with personalized dosage plans.
- Suitable for Adults and Adolescents: Approved for adults and children aged 12-17 with a body weight of at least 60 kg.
Who Should Consider Saxenda?
Saxenda is ideal for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27+ who have weight-related health issues. A medical consultation is essential to determine suitability and to create a tailored treatment plan.
