Abdomen
The most common site. Stay at least two inches away from the navel. Plenty of fatty tissue makes it easy for most patients to self-inject.
Our clinic is at 5270 W 84th St in Bloomington. Patients visit us from across the Twin Cities — and we also offer virtual visits for anyone who prefers to skip the drive.
People search "how to get Ozempic for weight loss" expecting a form and a shipment. At our Bloomington clinic it looks different, because a physician is involved from the first dose forward. Here is the actual path.
A 15-minute review of your health history and goals with our medical team. We confirm semaglutide is appropriate and screen for contraindications.
If you are a candidate, a physician prescribes semaglutide at a starting dose tuned to you. No self-diagnosis, no algorithm deciding for you.
We show you how to draw and administer your weekly subcutaneous injection, where to place it, and how to rotate sites. Most patients leave able to do it at home.
We track how you tolerate each dose, manage side effects, and step you up only when your body is ready.
Semaglutide is a subcutaneous injection, meaning it goes into the fatty tissue just under the skin, not into muscle. Per the manufacturer label, there are three approved injection sites. Rotate between them week to week so no single spot gets irritated.
This is general guidance, not a substitute for the training and instructions you get in person. Follow the specific direction from your Regner Health physician and the product label. If a site stays red, swollen, or painful, tell us at your next check-in.
Semaglutide starts low and steps up over several weeks so your body adjusts and side effects stay manageable. We move at your pace, sometimes slower than the standard schedule, based on how you tolerate each step.
Because we see Bloomington patients every week, we catch the moment a dose needs to hold or adjust, which is the part an online prescribe-and-disappear service cannot do. Curious about the medication itself? Read our full semaglutide overview or compare it with tirzepatide.
