What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is the brand name for semaglutide, a once-weekly injectable medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes but now approved specifically for weight management. It works by mimicking a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. By activating receptors in the brain, Wegovy reduces hunger and increases feelings of fullness, leading to a natural decrease in calorie consumption.
This medication is prescribed alongside a calorie-controlled diet and increased physical activity. Unlike many traditional weight loss solutions, Wegovy targets the biological mechanisms of hunger, helping patients maintain healthier eating habits with fewer cravings.
How Does Wegovy Work?
Wegovy’s active ingredient, semaglutide, acts on the brain’s appetite control centre. This action slows gastric emptying (the rate at which food leaves the stomach), making you feel full for longer periods. The result is a significant reduction in hunger and a decrease in overall calorie intake without the need for extreme dieting.
Clinical trials have demonstrated that patients using Wegovy alongside lifestyle changes lose, on average, 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks — a substantial improvement compared to diet and exercise alone.
Who Can Benefit from Wegovy in Belfast & across Northern Ireland?
Wegovy is prescribed for adults who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above (classified as obese), or for those with a BMI of 27 or above who also have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnoea.
At JG Aesthetics, our weight loss specialists conduct a thorough assessment to determine if Wegovy is suitable for you. We take into account your medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals to create a tailored treatment plan that maximises your chances of success.
The Wegovy Treatment Programme at JG Aesthetics
Our Weight Loss Management Programme is designed to provide continuous support throughout your journey. When you begin treatment, you will receive detailed instructions on how to self-administer the weekly injection safely and effectively. We also provide guidance on diet and physical activity to complement the medication’s effects.
Regular follow-up appointments enable us to monitor your progress, adjust dosages if necessary, and offer encouragement and advice. We believe that a combination of medication, lifestyle modification, and professional support is essential for long-term weight management.

What to Expect During Treatment

As the treatment progresses, many patients notice reduced hunger and better portion control, leading to steady, sustainable weight loss. The treatment duration varies but often continues for at least one year to maintain results.
