    What is Semaglutide and how does it work?

    Semaglutide is a medicine belonging to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Semaglutide works by imitating the GLP-1 hormone in your body, which boosts insulin production, reduces the release of glucagon, and slows down how quickly your stomach empties.

    This helps lower blood sugar levels after eating and curbs appetite, which helps promote weight loss.

    How does Semaglutide differ from Ozempic and Wegovy?

    Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Wegovy and Ozempic, but these contain different doses of Semalutide and are approved for different purposes.

    Ozempic – Approved for type II diabetes, lower dose than Wegovy.

    Wegovy – Approved for weight management, a higher dose than Ozempic.

    Is Semaglutide FDA approved?

    YES – The FDA approved the brand name drug Wegovy in 2021 based on evidence from four 68-week trials involving 4,500 patients. 

    These trials consistently showed that those taking Wegovy experienced substantial weight loss.

    Potential Side Effects of Semaglutide

    Reported side effects of Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These side effects are generally mild and tend to improve over time.

    You will discuss any pre-existing conditions and side effects with Dr. Michael Rankin during your initial weight loss consultation.

    Lifestyle Med Spa - Our Story

    Dr. Kim Barrus, our chief of operations, took Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and lost 22 pounds in four months. He felt more energetic, confident, and healthier. 

    As he dived into the research, it supported his own experience that these medicines are powerful for looking and feeling better and improving health. 

    He opened the medical spa to provide these treatments and benefits to his clients from Ventura and Los Angeles counties and throughout Southern California.

    As the medical spa has grown, we offer other services to support your health and wellness.
