Starting your treatment

So, you have purchased your first Semaglutide kit at Skinny Quick and are pumped to lose that extra weight. But you don’t want to start your treatment recklessly or settle for slimming results that are nothing like what you’ve hoped for.

Before initiating your treatment, take the time to familiarise yourself with Semaglutide mixing instructions, injection guidelines and dosage information. Here’s how you should proceed.

How to mix Semaglutide

Once you receive a Skinny Quick kit, you won’t be able to administer Semaglutide injections straight away. The peptide comes in a powdered form and has to be mixed before giving a shot. Here’s how you can do it from the comfort of your home in just five steps.

Unpack your kit and disinfect

You can mix your peptide in any room, but make sure it’s well-lit and has no physical obstructions. Unpack your kit and put the contents on an even surface so everything is readily accessible. Here’s what you should have at hand:

  • A 5mg/10mg vial of powdered Semaglutide
  • Bacteriostatic water
  • A syringe 1ml (U-100)
  • A removable needle
  • Alcohol pads or wipes

Before mixing, wash your hands to prevent germs from getting into the mixed solution or on the injection site. You should also disinfect the bottles you’ll be using and the surfaces you’ll put vials and syringes on.

Prepare your essentials

Semaglutide and sterile water vials come with protective caps. Take them out so you can easily insert the needle and mix Semaglutide with bacteriostatic water. Before inserting it, disinfect the upper parts of all vials.

Without touching the needle, take it out of its packaging and twist it into the syringe’s tip. Make sure the needle size is correct for the injection and the attachment is secure.

Don’t worry if you have inadvertently touched the needle. Use an alcohol pad or wipe to disinfect it before attaching it to the syringe.

Fill the syringe with bacteriostatic water

What do you mix Semaglutide with? Bacteriostatic water. You should fill the syringe with it first.

Once everything is disinfected and your syringe is ready, you should take the bacteriostatic water bottle and turn it upside down to create pressure, which will facilitate the drawing process. Then, position the needle at a slight angle and put it into the stopper. Slowly fill the syringe with 1ml (100 IU) by drawing back the plunger.

Make sure your syringe contains no air bubbles. If you notice air bubbles, tap the syringe with a slight finger movement and expel them using the plunger.

Mix with Semaglutide

Now, you should take your Semaglutide vial and put the needle into it (the process is the same as in the previous step). Slowly push the plunger to eject bacteriostatic water into the vial. It’s of paramount importance to do it carefully and slowly to avoid pressure issues and leaks.

Once you have added 1ml of water to the vial, do it again. For injections, you’ll need to have 2ml of water. The Semaglutide peptide mixing instructions are the same for repetitive cycles.

Give it a swirl

The last step is to swirl the mixed solution with circular movements for the Semaglutide powder to dissolve. Don’t go overboard with your hand movements to avoid swirling too quickly or aggressively. This may affect the quality of your peptide injections.

You should swirl the vial until the solution is 100% liquid and appears without lumps of powder.

How to administer Semaglutide

After mixing, you’re ready to inject the peptide to initiate the slimming treatment. The injection process can be carried out without medical professionals in just four steps.

Prepare everything you need for an injection

Semaglutide is prepared for a subcutaneous route of administration. To give yourself a shot, you will need to have the following at hand:

  • The vial with the dissolved peptide powder
  • A new syringe
  • An appropriate needle for inserting into the fatty tissue

Sterility is vital at this stage, too. Do NOT touch the needle to ensure no harmful microorganisms make their way into the mixture you’re injecting.

Fill the new syringe with the mixed solution

This process is the same as when drawing bacteriostatic water. Hold the vial with the mixed substance upside down in one hand and the syringe with a securely attached needle in another. Move it into the bottle through the cap and draw back the plunger to fill the syringe with as much mixture as you need, according to your dosage and stage of treatment.

Double-check for air bubbles. You don’t want them to ruin the effectiveness of the injectable solution.

Disinfect the injection site

At this stage, you have a ready-to-administer subcutaneous injection. Before giving yourself a shot, use an alcohol wipe or pad to clean the injection site and shield yourself from the risks of contamination. You can administer the peptide once the disinfected spot is dry.

Where do you inject Semaglutide? The best areas for administering the peptide are:

  • Abdomen (look for fatty tissue on the front or side, 5cm away from the navel)
  • Thigh (focus on the fleshy area on the outer part of your thigh)
  • Upper arm (look for sufficient fatty tissue on the outer portion of your arm)

The effectiveness of Semaglutide doesn’t depend on where exactly you inject it. It’s recommended that you change injection sites every week to leave no room for scarring or irritation risks.

Inject the solution

To give yourself a Semaglutide shot, press the skin at the selected site between your fingers using your non-dominant hand. Grab the pre-filled syringe in your dominant hand and stick to the 45 to 90-degree rule when inserting the needle into the fatty tissue.

This rule applies to general Semaglutide administration instructions and refers to the angle to the skin at which the needle can be inserted. If you have more fat, aim for the 90-degree angle.

After inserting the needle, administer all the solution by pressing the plunger at a steady pace. No haste is necessary. Then, take the needle out without changing the angle and put it away in a puncture-resistant container.

You can use a small sterile gauze swab after administering an injection in case of mild bleeding.

Semaglutide Roadmap

This Semaglutide Roadmap can serve as your informational guide on peptide dosages throughout weeks of treatment. That said, the specified dosages are NOT requirements.

Depending on how Semaglutide works for you and the weight-loss results you have already achieved, you may administer more or less of the substance. If everything works like a charm at the dosage that is lower than shown on the Roadmap, you do not have to increase it just because you have advanced to a certain week of treatment.

You may also need to refrain from levelling up your dosage if you experience adverse effects.

Semaglutide Roadmap for Dosages

Things to keep in mind

  • Injection scheduleSemaglutide injections are formulated to be given on a weekly basis (one shot for one week of treatment). For consistent results, administer them on the same day every week, regardless of the time of the day or how you plan your meals. If you want to start administering injections on a different day, you can make the switch as long as your previous shot was given at least 48 hours ago.
  • Missed injectionsNo significant decreases in treatment effectiveness are expected in case of a missed Semaglutide shot. To make up for it, administer an injection within the next five days. Ignore it and adhere to your injection schedule as if nothing has happened if it’s been more than five days since the missed shot.
  • How to store Semaglutide powderSemaglutide is synonymous with heat intolerance. Even though the substance may preserve its properties for almost a month at room temperature, it’s best to store it in a refrigerator before and after reconstitution (i.e., before and after mixing the peptide powder). Avoid temperatures that are too low to prevent freezing.

The final precaution

Because the action of Semaglutide is directly linked to lowering the amount of glucose released by the liver, those who are on the peptide should have regular blood sugar tests. Testing is necessary to eliminate the risks of hypoglycemia and related symptoms.
