WHAT IS BOTOX®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is the only FDA-approved treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of frown lines and crow's feet in adults. This treatment can help fade away wrinkles that have been present for years, giving you a more youthful appearance. As we age, repeated facial movements can create wrinkles that become deeper over time. BOTOX® can help reverse this process, making you look 10 years younger or more in a short amount of time. 

BOTOX® is a natural, purified protein neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The purified protein is injected into wrinkles, paralyzing the muscles and relaxing them. Unlike surgery, BOTOX® is fast, simple, and minimally invasive, with no downtime or recovery. Most people can return to work or normal activity following treatment. Within days, they report looking and feeling more natural and relaxed. Transform your appearance with BOTOX® Cosmetic.

IV THERAP

Discover the Power of Glutathione IV Infusions

Experience the benefits of glutathione IV therapy, including lighter and more evenly toned skin. This treatment is designed to detoxify and protect not just your skin, but all of your vital organs.

WHAT IS GLUTATHIONE?

Glutathione is a peptide naturally produced by all cells in the human body, including immune cells. This molecule is composed of three essential amino acids: cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. As a potent antioxidant, glutathione is crucial in many body functions. Depletion of glutathione can lead to cell death, while sufficient levels can protect cells from damage by free radicals and provide other benefits.

WHAT IS CINDERELLA INJECTION?

The Cinderella Injection, also known as the Baby Face Injection, contains alpha-lipoic acid as its main ingredient. This substance can eliminate active oxygen both inside and outside the cells, providing a powerful antioxidant effect. It helps to strengthen the body's natural antioxidant defenses.

Ingredients: Glutathione + Vitamin C + Cinderella

PRP (FACE + NECK + HANDS)

WHAT Is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a natural product derived from the patient's own blood. To obtain PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn and placed in a sterile tube, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the various components of the blood. The platelets and plasma, the clear fluid, are separated from the red and white blood cells. The resulting plasma has a higher concentration of platelets than normal.

How Do Platelets Rejuvenate the Skin? 

Platelets are essential cells in the blood that aid in tissue healing and cell growth. PRP injections contain a high concentration of them, which promotes collagen growth and tissue regeneration. When injected into targeted areas of the skin, PRP acts as a matrix that naturally smoothens and tightens the skin, softens wrinkles, and improves skin texture and tone.

What Is the History of PRP?

PRP has been widely used in orthopedic medicine, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery for many years. Recently, this natural treatment has gained popularity in the fields of dermatology, skin wound healing, and cosmetic facial rejuvenation. Various scientific studies conducted over the past three decades have demonstrated that PRP injections can stimulate the growth of new collagen and promote skin regeneration. Additionally, recent studies have shown that PRP can also help to reduce the appearance of sun damage and aging-related skin issues.

THE SOLUTION: PLATELET-RICH PLASMA SKIN REJUVENATION 

How PRP Therapy Differs

PRP therapy differs from other injections or fillers, such as hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm, which are composed of solid material that fills lines and skin folds. While hyaluronic acid fillers are used to soften deeper lines and plump lips, PRP therapy stimulates the growth of your own collagen for total facial rejuvenation. It is used to volumize faces that are beginning to look drawn, plump out cheek indentations, soften under-eye hollows, improve skin tone, tightness, and texture, and fill areas that hyaluronic acid fillers cannot reach or are not safe to use. Unlike Restylane and Juvederm, PRP improves the overall quality, tightness, and texture of the skin rather than filling individual deeper wrinkles. Both treatments can be used together to supplement each other for the best final outcome of a more youthful-looking face.

During and After PRP Treatment

A small amount of blood will be drawn from you and used to prepare the PRP. Before the treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepped. The injections take only a few moments and are generally not painful. The entire procedure lasts about 15 minutes, and you can immediately return to your daily routine without any post-procedure care or downtime. Any mild swelling, redness, or bruising should subside within 1-3 days. Since PRP is derived from your own cells, there is a low risk of negative side effects.

The Results 

PRP skin rejuvenation therapy aims to enhance skin tone, texture, and firmness while minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores. Improvement can be seen as early as 3-4 weeks after the treatment session, with the results continuing to improve over time. For optimal results, 3 treatment sessions spaced 1-2 months apart are usually recommended. 

PRP therapy can be combined with other cosmetic treatments such as laser treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Restylane, Juvederm, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and/or Dysport® to target a patient’s unique concerns and achieve a youthful-looking skin. Maintenance PRP treatments may be necessary to preserve the results.

PRP Hair Restoration

PRP FOR HAIR REGROWTH

PRP HAIR RESTORATION

PRP FOR HAIR REGROWTH

HAIR RESTORATION

PRP therapy has been found to be effective in stimulating hair growth by promoting vascularization and angiogenesis and extending the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle. By increasing blood supply to hair follicles, PRP therapy triggers natural hair growth. 

PRP contains growth factors, including glycogen, lysosomes, and alpha granules, which help to promote healing and repair. These factors can reawaken the activity of hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth. Scientific studies show that PRP can increase hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.

PRP Hair Treatment and Booster — Tustin, CA — RoseK Medical

HAIR REGROWTH PROCESS

PRP therapy for hair regrowth involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient's arm and separating the plasma from the red blood cells using a centrifuge. The resulting plasma, rich in platelets and growth factors, is then injected directly into the patient's scalp at the hair follicles. To ensure complete coverage, the injections are spread across a half-inch area of thinning hair. 

Typically, treatments are performed monthly for the first three to four months and then every three to six months thereafter. This schedule optimally stimulates hair growth factors and stem cells, which help reduce hair fallout. In over 70% of cases, PRP has been proven to combat hair loss and promote hair regrowth.

BEFORE-AND-AFTER PRP FOR HAIR REGROWTH

“I think PRP is a breakthrough because it’s a natural substance that can regrow hair with virtually no side effects,” says Dr. Jeffrey Rapaport. “It’s also used to speed up the healing process in any procedure that disrupts the epidermis, such as a laser and micro-needling, and by orthopedic surgeons for tendon injuries and bone recreation.”

NAD+

NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and cellular signaling.

  • Energy Metabolism: NAD+ is a key player in cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells convert nutrients into energy. It acts as a coenzyme in both glycolysis (the breakdown of glucose) and the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), facilitating the transfer of electrons and the production of ATP, the cell's primary energy currency.
  • DNA Repair: NAD+ is involved in DNA repair mechanisms, specifically in processes like base excision repair and DNA strand break repair. These mechanisms help maintain genomic stability and prevent mutations that could lead to diseases such as cancer.
  • Cellular Signaling: NAD+ also acts as a substrate for various enzymes called sirtuins, which play critical roles in regulating cellular processes such as gene expression, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and stress responses. Sirtuins are involved in longevity and have been linked to the health benefits of caloric restriction and exercise.
  • Redox Reactions: NAD+ participates in redox reactions by accepting and donating electrons. It exists in two forms: oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). During cellular respiration, NAD+ is reduced to NADH by accepting electrons from metabolic intermediates, and then NADH is oxidized back to NAD+ in the electron transport chain, generating ATP.



Overall, NAD+ is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating various physiological processes, making it a crucial molecule for overall health and vitality. Its levels can be influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, and aging, and there is growing interest in NAD+ supplementation as a potential therapeutic intervention for age-related diseases and metabolic disorders.

DARK SPOT REMOVAL

DARK SPOT REMOVAL

LASER SPOT REMOVAL

Spots on the skin, such as age spots, sunspots, freckles, and birthmarks, are a common concern for many people who desire a more even skin tone. Targeted removal of individual spots is often more effective than treating the entire area. This approach is beneficial for individuals with a small number of spots. Spot removal can be performed on any part of the body to improve the appearance of the skin.

WHEN TO USE LASER SPOT REMOVAL

Pigmented lesions such as age spots, sunspots, freckles, and birthmarks are common skin conditions that many people wish to remove for a more even and pleasing skin tone. Laser treatment can efficiently remove these benign lesions on any part of the body, including angiomas, seborrheic keratosis, pigmented nevi, and cafe-au-lait birthmarks. However, lasers are not recommended for moles or malignant lesions. 

Typically, 2 laser sessions are recommended for optimal results. The first session removes at least half of the pigment, and the second removes the rest. After treatment, the outline of the spot may still be visible, but the color will be lighter and blend in with the surrounding skin.

Additionally, the active ingredients in the injections help accelerate the breakdown of fat in the liver. For best results, we suggest administering the injections in areas such as the arms, thighs, belly, or buttocks. If you're looking to lose weight, incorporating B12 injections into your weekly self-care routine can be beneficial.

SEMAGLUTIDE INJECTIONS

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?

Semaglutide was originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes by stabilizing blood sugar levels by increasing insulin levels and decreasing glucagon secretion. This medication also has the added benefit of reducing appetite and food cravings, which further supports glycemic balance. Although Semaglutide is highly effective in promoting weight loss, it is recommended that patients follow a nutritious diet and exercise routine to achieve the best results.

HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK?

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved medication that was initially developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is a powerful glycemic stabilizer that increases insulin levels and decreases glucagon secretion, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition to its glycemic stabilizing properties, Semaglutide can also significantly reduce appetite and food cravings, promoting healthy glycemic balance. However, the medication works best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.


Semaglutide is a peptidic GLP-1 receptor agonist that interacts with GLP-1, a hormone responsible for regulating hunger levels in the body. By interacting with this hormone, Semaglutide induces feelings of satiety after consuming fewer calories than usual. It also stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high and delays gastric emptying, slowing down the digestive process and reducing the appetite.


Semaglutide injections are given once a week and are infused with L-carnitine to help increase the patient's energy levels and metabolism. Patients who follow a healthy lifestyle and take Semaglutide treatments can see a drop in body weight of up to 15%.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SEMAGLUTIDE?

Studies conducted in the clinical setting have shown that Semaglutide can result in more substantial weight loss than other treatments. The medication can be taken alone or in combination with Phentermine, leading to better appetite control and more significant weight loss.


Other benefits of Semaglutide include:

  • A Non-Addictive Medication
  • The Majority of Patients Experience No Side Effects
  • A Reduction in Appetite and Cravings
  • Feelings of Satiety Happen Faster 
  • Not a Stimulant 
  • A Tolerable Treatment for Most Patients 
  • Safe and Effective 
  • Feelings of Satiety Last Longer
  • Sizable Weight Loss 
  • Slower Digestion
  • A Lower BMI

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR SEMAGLUTIDE?

To obtain a prescription for Semaglutide, patients need to consult with a certified weight loss expert. Typically, individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher are suitable candidates for this treatment. However, those with a BMI as low as 27 and certain medical conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes may also qualify.


During the consultation, our team evaluates the patient's medical history and current health status to determine if Semaglutide is appropriate for them. Patients with a history of cancer or tumors are usually not eligible. It is also essential for patients to inform their healthcare provider of any medications they are taking.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?

Semaglutide injections are administered on a weekly basis, with the dosage gradually increased for best results. These injections are typically painless and given in the midsection, upper arm, or thighs. Following the initial treatment, patients will self-administer the injections at home and come in for follow-up appointments every few weeks or once per month.

WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS OF SEMAGLUTIDE?

Although Semaglutide treatments are generally well-tolerated, it is important to be aware of potential side effects that may occur in some patients.


These may include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Dyspepsia
  • Constipation


Nevertheless, patients can usually expect these symptoms to diminish within a few weeks. Patients will receive more information about these potential effects and how to manage them during their consultation.

SEMAGLUTIDE FAQ

How much does Semaglutide cost? 

Our Semaglutide treatments range between $600 - $750 per month. 

How much weight can you lose in a month with Semaglutide? 

Weight loss results may vary from patient to patient. While some patients may experience moderate weight loss, others have reported losing over 15 or even 20 pounds within the first month of treatment. However, it is important to note that each patient's weight loss journey is unique and may depend on several factors, including their diet and exercise regimen.

THREAD LIFTING

WHAT IS A THREAD LIFT?

A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that utilizes temporary sutures to provide a subtle yet noticeable lift in the skin. Unlike traditional facelifts that require the removal of loose facial skin, the thread lift procedure involves suspending the skin by stitching portions of it. This technique tightens and lifts the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. 

Thread Lift Procedure — Tustin, CA — RoseK Medical

Thread lifts also stimulate the body's natural healing response, causing a surge of collagen to the treated areas. Collagen plays a vital role in skin health and helps to keep our skin strong, voluminous, and supple. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, resulting in thinner skin and wrinkles. Thread lifts infuse the skin with fresh collagen, thickening and hydrating the skin and preventing further skin laxity. 

The body's healing response is continuously activated while the threads are in place, gradually improving skin tone and firmness. The sutures used in the procedure are small; patients typically do not feel them after the skin has healed. The thread lift is a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance without the risks and downtime associated with traditional facelift surgery.

RF Needling Scarlet

A new innovative, safe, and effective procedure has recently gained popularity in the local cosmetic and plastic surgery market here. Scarlet MFR provides women with painless, non-surgical facelifts.

RF NEEDLE SECRET

An innovative and safe non-surgical facelift procedure called Secret MFR has been gaining popularity in the local cosmetic and plastic surgery market. It offers women a painless way to rejuvenate their skin.

The Secret MFR treatment is a breakthrough in skin rejuvenation that employs Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) technology instead of a laser. This innovative procedure not only enhances collagen production to firm up the skin but also boosts dermal volume and elastin to improve skin elasticity, texture, and turgor, resulting in visible skin improvement.

RF Needle — Tustin, CA — RoseK Medical

“Scarlet MFR is a new generation of skin rejuvenation technology that utilizes Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency (MFR) rather than laser,” “Scarlet not only builds up collagen to tighten up the skin, but also improves dermal volume and elastin to improve skin elasticity, texture and turgor resulting in perceptible skin improvement.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The treatment utilizes a specialized handpiece equipped with 25 microneedles made of gold. These microneedles are used to penetrate the skin and deliver Radiofrequency to the targeted area, all without causing any harm to the outer layer of the skin. The energy intensity, depth of penetration, and speed of delivery are adjustable to achieve the best possible results.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SECRET MFR OVER LASERS?

Secret MFR stands out from other radiofrequency machines in several ways. First, it employs bipolar radiofrequency, which delivers more focused energy than monopolar radiofrequency, resulting in better outcomes. Second, it features golden needles that distribute energy more effectively than regular needles, leading to more significant rejuvenation. Secret MFR also uses 2 MHZ that penetrates wet and dry skin more efficiently.

WHAT MAKES SECRET MFR DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RADIOFREQUENCY MACHINES?

First, Secret MFR uses bipolar radiofrequency, which gives more focused energy than monopolar radiofrequency, so better results are delivered. Second, Secret MFR uses golden needles, which provide better distribution of energy and, therefore, more rejuvenation than regular needles. In addition, Secret MFR uses 2 MHZ that penetrate better on wet and dry skin. In summary, the best technical specifications have been provided in Secret MFR.

WHAT IS IT USEFUL FOR?

Secret MFR is a highly effective treatment for skin rejuvenation, pore minimization, and skin tightening, resulting in improved texture and elasticity and reduced wrinkles. It is also an effective solution for addressing acne scars, stretch marks, and hyperhidrosis.

DO I NEED TO MAKE ANY PREPARATIONS BEFORE UNDERGOING THE PROCEDURE?

Secret MFR does not require any specific preparations. The skin is simply cleaned before the session, and an anesthetic cream is applied for 30 minutes.

WHAT ABOUT THE DOWNTIME AND SIDE EFFECTS?

Following the procedure, patients may experience some redness of the skin for a few hours, and minimal swelling or dryness may occur.

WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?

Following the second session, you can expect an overall enhancement in your skin's quality, including a more radiant complexion, reduced wrinkles, minimized pores, and increased tightness and elasticity.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?

Typically, skin rejuvenation requires one session per month for a total of 3-5 sessions. Following this, a maintenance program is recommended. It is best to consult with your doctor for other conditions.

CAN I COMBINE SECRET MFR WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?

Depending on your skin condition, Secret MFR can be combined with other treatments such as PRP, stem cells, or mesotherapy to achieve even better results. This non-invasive procedure is often called the miracle facelift as it is painless yet offers significant benefits.

SKIN LIGHTENING TONING LASER

HOW DO LASERS LIGHTEN SKIN DISCOLORATION?

LASER stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." It is a focused beam of light energy that can selectively heat and destroy specific targets.

In skin lightening, the targets are chromophores, including melanin. As melanin absorbs light at various wavelengths, several lasers can be used to remove pigmented skin lesions. During laser treatment for skin lightening, conservative settings should be used, such as low energy levels and short pulse durations, to target pigments specifically and minimize damage to surrounding cells and tissues. 

However, even with conservative treatment, there is a risk of rebound pigmentation and worsening. As a result, lasers are typically not the first-line treatment option for skin hyperpigmentation.

WHAT IS POST-INFLAMMATORY HYPERPIGMENTATION?

PIH is a temporary skin condition that occurs due to inflammation caused by a pimple, rash, burn, scrape, or other skin trauma. The inflammation triggers the overproduction of melanin, a skin pigment that gets deposited in the skin, causing dark patches to remain even after the injury or inflammation has healed. 

PIH can fade on its own, but it may take weeks, months, or even years. Sun exposure without sunscreen or protection can worsen PIH by stimulating the skin cells to produce more pigment. It's important to wear sunscreen or avoid sun exposure when you have a skin injury to prevent it from worsening.

WHO GETS PIH?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that can affect anyone, regardless of their gender or age, as it occurs after skin injury or inflammation. However, it can be more prevalent and severe in individuals with darker skin tones.

HOW IS PIH TREATED?

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation spots may eventually fade away on their own, but it can take a long time, ranging from weeks to months and sometimes years. 

However, several effective treatment options are available for PIH, such as topical creams, sun protection, lasers, and chemical peels. Topical creams prevent the formation of additional melanin and promote new skin growth, while sun protection measures prevent UV rays from worsening the condition. On the other hand, laser treatments and chemical peels target the affected areas and help fade the PIH spots. 

It's essential to consult with a dermatologist to determine the best treatment option, as everyone's skin is different.

WHAT IS MELASMA?

Melasma, also called chloasma, is a chronic skin pigmentation disorder that causes dark patches to appear on the skin, particularly on the face and upper lip. This condition is prevalent among over five million Americans, with women of darker skin types being most affected. 

Melasma is characterized by excessive melanin production, the pigment that determines skin color. The name is derived from the Greek word melas, which means black and is also the root of melanin. The dark patches on the skin result from increased melanin production triggered by internal or external factors.

MELASMA SYMPTOMS

Melasma is a skin pigmentation disorder commonly affecting the face, though it can also occur on the arms and back. The dark patches associated with melasma usually appear on the forehead, upper lip, chin, or cheeks. These patches may appear as freckles or larger, irregularly bordered dark spots known as macules.

Melasma symptoms include:

  • Symmetrical patches of dark, brown, or greyish skin
  • Enlarged melanin cells called melanocytes
  • An increase in the number of melanin cells
  • Abnormal accumulation of elastic tissue
  • An increase in blood vessels in the face

While melasma has no cure, it can be managed effectively with proper care from a dermatologist and sun protective measures.

WHO GETS MELASMA?

Melasma is estimated to affect about 1% of the general population (Ogbechie), but the prevalence can range from 9-50% in high-risk populations due to sun exposure, geographic location, and genetics. 

Melasma is more common in women than men, with some studies showing a female predominance ratio of 9:1 (Hexsel) and others showing differences as high as 39:1 (Vazquez). This is attributed to the naturally higher levels of estrogen in women's bodies, which can also be increased by pregnancy and oral contraceptives. 

Genetics also play a significant role, with women of Hispanic or Indian descent being especially prone and those with a family history of melasma having a higher risk of developing the condition.

Ulthera for Face & Body

Ulthera uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin just below the surface. The ultrasound energy causes the tissue to heat up rapidly.

Once the cells in the targeted area reach a certain temperature, they experience cellular damage. While this may seem counterintuitive, the damage actually stimulates the cells to produce more collagen — a protein that provides structure to the skin.

ULTHERA FOR FACE & BODY

Ulthera is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to target the layers of skin beneath the surface. The energy heats the tissue quickly, causing cellular damage that stimulates the cells to produce more collagen. This increase in collagen results in tighter, firmer skin with fewer wrinkles. 

The procedure is appropriate for people over 30 with mild-to-moderate skin laxity. However, people with extensive photo-aging, severe skin laxity, or very saggy skin on the neck may not be good candidates and may need surgery instead. Ulthera is a popular procedure with a significant increase in the number of procedures performed in recent years.

Softening Facial Lines — Tustin, CA — RoseK Medical

Ulthera has many aesthetic benefits, including:

  • Wrinkle reduction
  • Tightening sagging skin on the neck (sometimes called turkey neck), lifting the cheeks, eyebrows, and eyelids
  • Enhancing jawline definition
  • Tightening of the décolletage
  • Smoothing the skin

LDM (WATER DROP LIFTING)

LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-Massage) is an innovative technology that uses dual-frequency ultrasound to stimulate the dynamic production and destruction processes within connective tissue. This results in skin regeneration and improved immune function by rejuvenating skin structures. Unlike other treatments, LDM doesn't overstimulate the skin, allowing natural healing on a cellular level with virtually no downtime or side effects. 

LDM is a popular treatment in dermatological, medical aesthetics, and plastic surgery clinics worldwide and has been clinically proven to be effective in treating various skin conditions.

What is Semaglutide?

Initially intended to treat type 2 Diabetes, Semaglutide is a potent glycemic stabilizer designed to boost insulin levels while reducing the secretion of the peptide hormone glucagon, stabilizing blood sugar levels. In addition to these functions, the medication can significantly reduce appetite and food cravings, promoting glycemic balance. While Semaglutide is an incredibly effective weight loss treatment, patients see the most significant benefit when combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

How does Semaglutide work?

An FDA-approved treatment, Semaglutide is a peptidic GLP-1 receptor agonist that interacts with GLP-1, a hormone that is responsible for regulating hunger levels in the body. By interacting with this hormone, Semaglutide induces feelings of satiety after consuming fewer calories than usual. Beyond regulating hunger levels, Semaglutide also stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas in cases of high blood sugar

levels. It also slows down the digestive process by delaying gastric emptying, leading to a reduction in appetite and faster weight loss.


Semaglutide injections are administered weekly. Our Semaglutide injections are infused with L-Carnitine to help boost the patient’s metabolism and increase their energy levels. Patients who follow a healthy lifestyle in addition to their Semaglutide treatments can see as much as a 15% drop in body weight.

What are the benefits of Semaglutide?

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Semaglutide can lead to more significant weight loss than other treatments. This medication can be taken alone or in combination with Phentermine, resulting in better appetite control and more substantial weight loss.


Other benefits of Semaglutide include:

  • A NON-ADDICTIVE MEDICATION
  • THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS EXPERIENCE NO SIDE EFFECTS
  • A REDUCTION IN APPETITE AND CRAVINGS
  • FEELINGS OF SATIETY HAPPEN FASTER
  • NOT A STIMULANT
  • A TOLERABLE TREATMENT FOR MOST PATIENTS
  • SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
  • FEELINGS OF SATIETY LAST LONGER
  • SIZABLE WEIGHT LOSS
  • SLOWER DIGESTION
  • A LOWER BMI

Who is a candidate for Semaglutide?

To receive a prescription for Semaglutide, patients must consult with a qualified weight loss specialist. Typically, candidates for this treatment have a BMI of at least 30. However, individuals with a BMI as low as 27 and certain medical conditions, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol, may also qualify for Semaglutide treatment.


During the consultation, we thoroughly assess the patient's medical history and current health status to determine if they are suitable candidates for Semaglutide treatment. Patients with a history of tumors or cancer are typically not eligible. Patients must also inform their practitioner of any medications they are

What does the treatment involve?

Semaglutide injections are usually given weekly, gradually increasing the dosage for optimal results. Most patients find the injections painless, typically administered in the midsection, upper arm, or thighs. After the initial treatment, patients will administer the injections themselves at home and return to the office for follow-up appointments every few weeks or once a month.
