You can choose any area on your thighs, abdomen, or upper arms. You can choose a site that you are comfortable with. Change the injection site if you notice any injection marks.
Changing the injection site does not mean you have to select a totally different area; you can just move 1 cm away from your last injection site. If you are injecting into the abdomen, keep a safe distance of at least 5 cm away from the naval point.

Results may vary according to the person, as everyone has different health conditions. It is best to consider your weight loss journey as a marathon, not a sprint.
Does Wegovy help in burning fat?

It also reduces cravings and makes sure that you are not overeating. You can burn fat by incorporating physical activities into your routine and consistently following a healthy diet to restrict calorie intake.
Where to get Wegovy without a prescription?
