What is Semaglutide and how does it work?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication that works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone in your body. This process boosts insulin production, lowers glucagon levels, and slows stomach emptying.
By lowering blood sugar levels after eating and helping to control your appetite, it plays a key role in facilitating weight loss and supporting long-term weight management.
How does Semaglutide differ from Ozempic and Wegovy?
Both Wegovy and Ozempic contain Semaglutide as their active ingredient, but in different doses.
These medications are approved for different purposes, each serving a specific medical need.
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: 1,900+ adults with obesity or overweight.
- Results: Semaglutide led to an average weight loss of 14.9% over 68 weeks, compared to 2.4% for placebo participants.
Is Semaglutide FDA approved?
YES, the FDA gave approval to Wegovy in 2021 after reviewing data from four 68-week trials involving 4,500 participants.
The trials consistently revealed that those using Wegovy had significant weight loss.
Potential Side Effects of Semaglutide
Semaglutide’s side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. While severe allergic reactions are possible, they are extremely rare. Typically, side effects are mild and lessen over time.
Dr. Michael Rankin will assess your pre-existing conditions and talk through possible side effects during your first consultation, ensuring you’re fully informed.
Know Your Medical History Before Starting Semaglutide
Lifestyle Med Spa - Our Story
Dr. Kim Barrus, chief of operations, took Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) and lost 22 pounds over the course of four months. He felt more energetic, confident, and healthier as a result.
Further research validated his personal experience, showing these medications’ effectiveness in both improving appearance and enhancing health.
Encouraged by these positive outcomes, Dr. Barrus opened the medical spa to offer these treatments to clients across Ventura and Los Angeles counties, as well as throughout Southern California.
As the spa has grown, we’ve added other services to better serve your health and wellness needs.
