The Science Behind It
Semaglutide represents a breakthrough in medical weight management. Originally developed for Type 2 diabetes, clinical trials revealed remarkable weight loss effects, leading to FDA approval specifically for chronic weight management.
At Skin and Self, we combine Semaglutide therapy with comprehensive support. Every injection includes Vitamin B12 to combat fatigue often experienced during caloric reduction. Our medical team provides ongoing guidance—not just prescriptions—to ensure your success.
Why This Is Different: Unlike fad diets or supplements, Semaglutide addresses the biological drivers of overeating. It works with your body's natural hunger signals rather than fighting against them. Combined with our body contouring and lymphatic drainage services, we offer a complete transformation program.

Common Questions
How does Semaglutide work for weight loss?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a naturally occurring hormone. It slows stomach emptying so you feel full longer, reduces appetite at the brain level, and helps regulate blood sugar. This triple action makes eating less feel natural rather than like constant willpower struggle.
What results can I realistically expect?
Clinical studies show average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight over 12-18 months. Individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence to the program, and lifestyle factors. We'll set realistic goals during your consultation based on your specific situation.
What are the potential side effects?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, constipation, or diarrhea. These typically occur when starting or increasing doses and usually resolve within a few weeks. Our gradual titration protocol minimizes these effects. Serious side effects are rare but we monitor for them closely.
Can I combine this with body contouring treatments?
Yes! Many clients pair Semaglutide with body contouring treatments like SculpSure or our lymphatic drainage services. As you lose weight, these treatments can help sculpt and tighten areas that may have loose skin. We offer combination packages for comprehensive body transformation.
What happens when I stop taking Semaglutide?
Weight maintenance requires ongoing lifestyle changes. Some patients stay on a lower maintenance dose long-term, while others transition off after reaching their goals. We focus heavily on building sustainable eating habits during treatment so you're set up for success either way.
Is this covered by insurance?
Semaglutide for weight management is not typically covered by insurance when used for cosmetic weight loss. However, it may be covered for those with Type 2 diabetes. We offer straightforward pricing and flexible payment options to make treatment accessible.
