Wegovy Injections for Medical Weight Loss in Bakersfield, CA

We are committed to providing safe and effective weight management solutions tailored to your individual needs. One of the advanced treatment options we offer is Wegovy, a prescription medication approved by the FDA for chronic weight management in adults who are overweight or have obesity. Wegovy contains semaglutide, a clinically proven medication that belongs to the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate appetite and glucose metabolism. When administered as a once-weekly injection, Wegovy mimics the effects of this hormone, targeting areas of the brain involved in appetite control. This helps to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier to maintain a healthy, reduced-calorie diet.

Our experienced medical team will work closely with you to determine if Wegovy is the right option for your weight loss journey. When combined with a personalized nutrition and exercise plan, Wegovy can help you achieve significant and sustainable weight loss. Clinical studies show that patients using Wegovy alongside lifestyle changes lose substantially more weight than those relying on lifestyle changes alone. At Universal Weight Loss Clinic, your safety and success are our top priorities. Our providers will monitor your progress, address any side effects, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Wegovy may not be suitable for everyone, so it is important to have a thorough evaluation and ongoing support from our healthcare professionals.

At Universal Weight Loss Clinic, we offer Wegovy as part of our comprehensive medical weight management program. Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) and is available in an easy-to-use, pre-filled pen device. This allows our patients to self-administer the medication in the comfort of their own home, with injections typically given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. To minimize irritation and maximize comfort, our clinicians will guide you on how to rotate injection sites each week.
 
When you begin your Wegovy journey, one of our experienced healthcare providers will give you personalized, step-by-step instructions on how to prepare and administer your injection safely and effectively. We ensure you feel comfortable and confident with the process before you leave our clinic.
For best results, Wegovy should be taken on the same day each week, regardless of meal times. If you ever miss a dose, our team is always available to advise you—simply use the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s more than five days late, in which case you should skip it and resume your regular schedule. Please do not double up on injections.
 
Proper storage of Wegovy is essential. We will show you how to store your medication safely—typically in the refrigerator until use or at room temperature for a limited time as outlined in the product instructions. At Universal Weight Loss Clinic, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. If you have any questions or concerns about your Wegovy treatment, our dedicated staff is always here to support you every step of the way. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

At Universal Weight Loss Clinic, our experienced medical team is dedicated to helping you achieve your weight loss goals safely and effectively. One of the advanced solutions we offer is Wegovy (semaglutide)—an FDA-approved prescription medication specifically designed for chronic weight management in adults. Wegovy may be recommended for adult patients who are:
 
• Medically overweight or obese (BMI of 30 or higher), or
• Have a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Before prescribing Wegovy, your Universal Weight Loss Clinic provider will perform a thorough health assessment, carefully reviewing your medical history, current medications, and any existing conditions. This ensures Wegovy is a safe and appropriate choice for you.

Wegovy is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity—the pillars of our evidence-based weight loss programs. Wegovy is not recommended for individuals with:
 
• A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
• Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
• Known hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any of Wegovy’s ingredients

At Universal Weight Loss Clinic, we offer Wegovy (semaglutide) as an effective prescription option for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one weight-related health condition. If you’re considering Wegovy, you may be wondering when you’ll begin to see results. In our clinic’s experience, some patients begin to notice initial weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment with Wegovy. However, clinical studies and our patient outcomes show the most significant and consistent weight loss typically occurs after several months of therapy.
 
Wegovy is started at a low dose and gradually increased over 16 to 20 weeks. This titration schedule helps minimize side effects and allows your body to adjust. Because of this, weight loss is often gradual at first, becoming more noticeable as the full therapeutic dose is reached. On average, clinical trial participants lost about 5% of their starting weight after 12 weeks on the full dose. After one year, many patients experienced a weight reduction of around 15% of their initial body weight, though individual results vary.
 
 
For the best outcomes, Wegovy should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity—core components of our comprehensive weight loss programs at Universal Weight Loss Clinic. Factors such as your starting weight, diet, exercise routine, and how consistently you take the medication all play a role in your progress.
