What is Semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural hormone in your body to help regulate insulin, reduce glucagon, and slow how fast your stomach empties.
These effects help bring down blood sugar after meals while also curbing your appetite, making it easier to lose weight and keep it off over time.
How does Semaglutide differ from Ozempic and Wegovy?
Semaglutide is the active component in both Wegovy and Ozempic, although the doses of Semaglutide vary between the two.
They are approved for different indications, with each medication used to treat specific health conditions.
Ozempic – Approved for type II diabetes, lower dose than Wegovy.
Wegovy – Approved for weight management, a higher dose than Ozempic.

Semaglutide Clinical Trial Weight Loss Results
- ​​Participants: Over 1,900 adults diagnosed with obesity or overweight.
- Results: Participants on Semaglutide lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight over 68 weeks, significantly higher than the 2.4% loss observed in the placebo group.
Is Semaglutide FDA approved?
YES, the FDA approved Wegovy in 2021, following the completion of four 68-week clinical trials involving 4,500 patients.
These trials consistently showed that participants taking Wegovy experienced substantial reductions in body weight.
Potential Side Effects of Semaglutide
Side effects associated with Semaglutide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and constipation. Although rare, serious allergic reactions are a potential risk. The majority of side effects are mild in nature and generally improve as your body adapts to the medication.
Dr. Michael Rankin will thoroughly evaluate your medical history and discuss any concerns regarding side effects during your initial consultation for weight management.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Semaglutide
Lifestyle Med Spa - Our Story
Dr. Kim Barrus, our chief of operations, personally used Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and experienced a remarkable 22-pound weight loss in just four months. This improvement led to increased energy levels, enhanced confidence, and an overall feeling of better health.
His deep dive into research confirmed that these medications are not only effective in enhancing appearance but also in improving general health and well-being.
Drawing from his personal success, Dr. Barrus opened the medical spa to offer Semaglutide treatments for obesity management, high blood pressure, and other conditions to clients from Ventura, Los Angeles counties, and the broader Southern California region.
As our spa has expanded, we’ve introduced additional services to complement your overall health and wellness journey.
