Wegovy Weight Loss Injections Specialist in Frederick, MD

At Elite Primary Care Group, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest, evidence-based solutions for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. One of the advanced treatments we offer is Wegovy, a medication designed to support safe and effective weight loss.

Wegovy is a medication that works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which helps regulate appetite and food intake. Acting on the areas of the brain that control hunger allows people to feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer after eating. This process supports a reduction in calorie intake, making it easier to achieve weight loss over time. In addition, Wegovy slows down how quickly food leaves the stomach, helping with portion control and reducing frequent snacking. Many individuals also report fewer cravings for certain foods while using it.

This treatment is most effective when combined with a comprehensive approach to weight management that includes healthy eating, physical activity, and ongoing support. Clinical studies show that people who use Wegovy alongside these lifestyle changes tend to lose more weight compared to those who rely on lifestyle adjustments alone. It is administered as a once-weekly injection, with doses adjusted gradually to reduce side effects. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is important to ensure safety and to make sure the treatment aligns with individual health goals.

If you’re interested in exploring Wegovy or other medical weight loss options, Elite Primary Care Group provides care designed to support patients throughout their health journey. The focus is on personalized guidance and long-term wellness, helping individuals find safe and effective strategies that fit their unique needs.

We are committed to providing our patients with effective, evidence-based solutions for weight management. One of the treatment options we offer is Wegovy, a prescription medication approved for weight loss in select individuals.

Wegovy is generally recommended for adults who are considered overweight or obese and have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. It may be prescribed for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related health issues such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Eligibility also depends on a full health evaluation to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for each person’s medical history.

Not everyone will be a candidate for Wegovy. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as a history of specific thyroid cancers or severe gastrointestinal problems, may be advised against its use. A healthcare provider will carefully review overall health, current medications, and long-term goals before determining if Wegovy is a suitable option. This helps ensure that treatment is safe, personalized, and effective in supporting healthy, sustainable weight loss.

At Elite Primary Care Group, patients have access to information about Wegovy and other weight management options as part of a comprehensive approach to care. The focus is on providing compassionate, personalized guidance that supports long-term health and wellness, with attention to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

Wegovy has become a well-recognized option for supporting weight loss in individuals who struggle with diet and exercise alone. Its effectiveness comes from how it helps regulate appetite, improve fullness, and encourage healthier eating habits over time. Some of the main benefits are:

• Helps reduce appetite by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone that regulates hunger
• Promotes a feeling of fullness sooner and keeps you satisfied longer
• Supports portion control and lowers the urge to snack between meals
• Can decrease cravings for certain foods
• Assists with consistent calorie reduction, making weight management easier
• Shown in studies to enhance weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes
• May improve blood sugar levels, supporting better metabolic health
• It can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol in some patients
• Provides structured, once-weekly dosing for convenience
• Supports long-term weight management goals under medical supervision

At Elite Primary Care Group, Dr. Fahima Azizi MD and Dr. Rita Kapoor MD, carefully supervise your progress, ensuring that Wegovy is used safely and effectively as part of a comprehensive weight management strategy. We’re here to support you every step of the way toward better health and lasting results.

At the start of treatment with Wegovy, many people begin noticing small changes within the first few weeks, such as reduced appetite, fewer cravings, or feeling full sooner. However, visible weight loss usually develops more gradually, with most patients starting to see meaningful results within the first two to three months. The pace of progress depends on individual factors like metabolism, lifestyle habits, and consistency in following the treatment plan.

Over the course of several months, results often become more noticeable, especially when Wegovy is combined with healthy eating and regular physical activity. Clinical studies show that patients using Wegovy as part of a structured program tend to lose more weight compared to those relying on lifestyle changes alone. Since each person responds differently, monitoring by a healthcare provider helps track progress and ensures the treatment remains safe and effective for long-term goals.

Our clinical team at Elite Primary Care Group will provide you with personalized guidance, regular follow-up appointments, and ongoing support to monitor your progress and address any side effects or concerns. We will also help you integrate Wegovy with a healthy, reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help you achieve the best possible results.
