Thank you for choosing The Palm Medspa + Wellness for your treatment. To help you achieve the best results and minimize risks, we’ve outlined important pre-care and post-care instructions for weight loss injections such as Semaglutide.
Every treatment is unique, and your provider may give you additional personalized recommendations. Please review the guidelines carefully before and after your appointment. Following these instructions will:
Enhance the effectiveness of your treatment
Support your body’s natural healing process
Reduce the likelihood of complications or side effects
If you have any questions before or after your treatment, or if you experience anything unexpected, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities.
Preparing properly before your weight loss injection sets the stage for the safest experience, reduces side effects, and helps you achieve optimal results—please follow these guidelines closely for the best outcome.
2 weeks prior to your appointment
Share your full medical history and medication/supplement list with your provider, and review if semaglutide is the best fit for your goals and health status.
Begin healthy habits: follow nutritional guidance, hydrate well, and be consistent with any prescribed physical activity.
Notify your provider of any upcoming procedures, recent illnesses, or history of GI, thyroid, or pancreas issues.
1 week prior to your appointment
Avoid alcohol and limit fatty or spicy foods to reduce the risk of GI upset post-injection.
Consult on which non-essential medications or supplements to pause, especially blood thinners, under your provider’s guidance.
Discuss the dosing schedule and what to expect for side effects, ensuring all questions are answered at your next appointment.
Day of appointment
Eat a light meal and stay hydrated unless told otherwise, as this can ease potential post-injection nausea.
Arrive early to review your overall health status, and alert your provider of any last-minute illness or medication changes.
Wear clothes that allow easy access to your upper arm, lower abdomen, or thigh for the injection site; your provider will rotate sites as needed.
After your injection, following the recommended post-care ensures a smoother recovery, maximizes the benefits, and supports your long-term weight loss success—careful attention to these steps matters.
24 hours after your appointment
Expect possible mild side effects (nausea, redness, swelling at the site), which usually resolve on their own; your provider will advise on comfort measures as needed.
Follow your provider’s guidance on dietary choices and activity; avoid heavy meals, alcohol, or intense exercise if not feeling well.
Remain in touch with your provider regarding any severe, persistent, or unusual reactions.
2-7 days after your appointment
Record any side effects, appetite changes, or results as instructed; report significant or concerning symptoms to your provider for ongoing monitoring.
Continue building healthy lifestyle habits as directed, supporting weight management and minimizing side effects.
Keep all scheduled follow-up appointments and maintain regular communication with your medical team about dose adjustments or concerns.
2 weeks after your appointment
Attend any follow-ups to review your response, side effects, and next steps for dose titration or ongoing care.
Continue prescribed nutrition and physical activity strategies, and don’t make supplement or medication changes without provider input.
Discuss and plan for upcoming injections and ongoing weight loss goals at each visit.
