A program built on check-ins

Semaglutide works best with someone keeping an eye on it. At Bellava the dose starts low and rises in gradual steps, and the regular check-ins along the way are where the medical team adjusts it, watches how you are feeling and keeps your progress on track. Because those visits recur, it helps that they are close. Bellava is on Route 117 Bypass Road in Bedford Hills, a mile or so from the center of Katonah along Bedford Road — about three minutes’ drive without traffic.

What semaglutide does

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that mimics GLP-1, a hormone your body makes to help regulate appetite and blood sugar. It increases the feeling of fullness and slows digestion, so you eat less without running short of energy or focus. It is the active ingredient in both Ozempic®, which was approved to manage diabetes, and Wegovy®, which is FDA-approved at higher doses for chronic weight management. Bellava uses semaglutide in its own customized, medically supervised program.

How the program runs

  1. Consultation. You meet the doctors to talk through your goals, medical history and lifestyle.
  2. A health baseline. Vital signs, a body composition analysis and, where needed, lab work.
  3. Your plan. A dosing schedule and injection plan written for you.
  4. Ongoing support. Check-ins to fine-tune the dose and help with the nutrition and movement habits that make the change last.

Mild nausea or bloating can show up in the early weeks; it usually fades quickly.

Who it is for

By Bellava’s own guidance, semaglutide is best suited to adults with a BMI of 27 or more who:

  • have not been able to lose weight through diet and exercise alone
  • have a weight-related condition such as prediabetes or high cholesterol
  • want a personal, medically supported plan rather than going it alone

It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN2. Your health history is reviewed with you before anything is prescribed.

Questions from Katonah

How long would I be on it? That depends on your plan. Some patients use semaglutide for a shorter period to reach a goal; others stay on a lower dose under medical guidance.

Will the weight come back when I stop? The program is built around lasting changes to how you eat and move, and the regular check-ins and coaching are there to reduce the risk of regaining.

Can I combine it with other treatments? Yes. The team can pair it with body contouring or skin tightening for a fuller change. CoolSculpting is one option for a stubborn area.
