It must be injected subcutaneously (under the skin) into the fatty tissue. The needle is very thin and short, specifically designed to deliver medication into the fatty tissue just under your skin. Most people report feeling just a small pinch or nothing at all during the entire injection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Pro Tip: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the Wegovy pen sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before injection for comfort.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegovy Pen Injection Sites &amp; Rotation<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The approved injection sites for Wegovy include three main areas. You can inject Wegovy into your stomach (at least 2 inches from your belly button), the front of your upper thighs (upper legs), or the back\/side of your upper arm. Your healthcare provider can help you choose the injection site that is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Rotation Matters<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should rotate your injection site each week to prevent a condition called lipohypertrophy. Lipohypertrophy is a lump of fatty tissue under the skin caused by repeated injections in the same place. Using the same exact spot every time can lead to a buildup of fatty tissue under the skin which can affect medication absorption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotation Strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A helpful approach is to rotate clockwise through your injection sites weekly. For example, start with the left side of your stomach during week one, then move to the right side of your stomach, then alternate between thighs and so on. You may inject into the same body area each week but not in the exact same spot each time. Avoid injecting into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, hard, or has scars or stretch marks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegovy Pen Troubleshooting &#8211; Common Problem<\/span><b>s<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with careful preparation, you may occasionally encounter issues with your Wegovy pen.
