Semaglutide Weight Loss
in South Bay
Physician-supervised GLP-1 therapy for lasting appetite control and weight management.
Important: Semaglutide is a prescription medication. Treatment is provided only after an in-person medical evaluation by a licensed provider who confirms clinical appropriateness. Online purchases, if any, are prepaid credits for consultation and potential treatment in clinic. If you are not a candidate, you will receive a full refund or the same credit may be applied to another eligible service.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a class of medication that works with your body’s natural hunger signals. In physician-directed programs it helps reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, support blood sugar regulation, and improve insulin response. At Skin Works, every program begins with a medical evaluation and is supervised throughout by a licensed provider. We are LegitScript certified and source exclusively from FDA-registered, licensed pharmacies so you know exactly what you are getting and where it comes from.
In-Clinic Care vs. Online Services

| Skin Works In-Clinic | Online-Only Services | |
|---|---|---|
| Medical evaluation | In person | Video or form only |
| Provider oversight | Every visit | Minimal or none |
| Dose adjustment | Based on your response | Protocol-based only |
| Side effect support | Immediate in clinic | Email or chat |
| Medication source | FDA-registered pharmacy | Often unverified |
| Take-home option | Available once cleared | Ships without evaluation |
| LegitScript certified | Yes | Rarely |
| Nutrition guidance | Included | Rarely included |
How the Program Works
Free Consultation
Meet with a licensed provider in clinic. We review your health history, discuss your goals, and determine if semaglutide is appropriate for you. No pressure, no commitment.
Medical Evaluation and Prescription
If you are a good candidate, your provider writes a prescription and explains your starting dose, what to expect, and how to manage side effects if any occur.
Weekly Dosing, In-Clinic or Take-Home
Most patients receive their weekly dose in clinic with full provider oversight. Once established on your protocol, your provider may clear you to administer doses at home with supplied syringes and full instructions. Same medication, same pharmacy, same price.
Ongoing Progress Reviews
We track your results with check-ins, photos, and measurements. Your plan evolves with you, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Typical Results Timeline
A consultation gives your provider the context needed to evaluate eligibility, dosing, nutrition habits, and follow-up needs before treatment begins.
Program Fees
All packages include four weekly in-clinic doses. Actual dosing is determined by your provider.
Starter Package
Four weekly in-clinic doses at 0.25 mg for the first two weeks, then 0.5 mg for the next two weeks. Designed to begin appetite support with gentle titration and weekly oversight.
Step-Up Package
Four weekly in-clinic doses at 0.5 mg per week. For patients ready for steadier appetite control with continued medical supervision and weekly check-ins.
Core Package Most Common
Four weekly in-clinic doses at 1 mg per week. Our most commonly recommended plan for sustained appetite regulation, steady progress, and professional support at every visit.
Pro Package
Four weekly in-clinic doses at 1.5 mg per week. For patients cleared for stronger appetite support without large dose jumps. Weekly guidance included.
Advanced Package
Four weekly in-clinic doses at 2 mg per week. For patients who have built tolerance at lower doses and have been medically cleared to continue at a higher level.

What Is Included in Your Program
Frequently Asked Questions
How does semaglutide work?
It activates GLP-1 receptors to support appetite regulation, slower gastric emptying, and improved insulin response, all as part of a physician-supervised plan.
Is semaglutide safe?
Typical side effects are gastrointestinal and usually temporary. Your provider reviews your full medical history before prescribing. All treatment decisions are made by a licensed clinician after an in-person evaluation.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice changes within 4 to 6 weeks. More visible results typically occur between 3 to 6 months. Consistency with nutrition, hydration, sleep, and activity all support outcomes.
How often do I need to come in?
Most patients start with regular in-clinic visits to allow for dose adjustments, side effect management, and progress tracking. Once established on your protocol, your provider may clear you to administer doses at home with supplied syringes and instructions at no additional cost.
What if I hit a plateau?
We assess dosing, protein and fiber intake, hydration, activity, and step goals. Small adjustments usually restart progress. This kind of real-time support is only possible with in-clinic care.
What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide targets one receptor, GLP-1. Tirzepatide targets two, GLP-1 and GIP, which may produce stronger appetite suppression for some patients. Your provider will recommend the right option after your evaluation.
