Medications We Offer
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in both Wegovy and Ozempic, is renowned for its ability to support weight loss and metabolic health. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) first created to treat type 2 diabetes. It reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying, leading to gradual and sustained weight loss. Semaglutide offers a safe and effective alternative for managing weight and improving overall health.
1. Ozempic
Ozempic is a trusted medication for managing weight loss and type 2 diabetes. By mimicking GLP-1, it helps regulate appetite and improve blood sugar control. Benefits of Ozempic include effective weight management, reduced appetite, and improved overall metabolic health.
2. Wegovy
Wegovy is an FDA-approved weight loss injection designed for chronic weight management. It works by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness. Wegovy helps you achieve significant weight loss while maintaining safety and efficacy, offering benefits like lowered BMI, enhanced metabolic health, and improved quality of life.
3. Mounjaro
Mounjaro is an advanced weight loss injection that combines GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonism. This dual-action approach provides superior appetite control and weight loss. Mounjaro helps reduce cravings, supports weight management, and promotes better blood sugar levels, making it a powerful tool for effective weight loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Qualification is determined during a medical consultation and is based on your overall health, medical history, and weight related goals. In general, candidates may qualify if they:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) that meets clinical guidelines for medical weight management
- Have weight related health concerns such as insulin resistance, prediabetes, or metabolic challenges
- Have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding and have no contraindications to the medication
- Complete required lab work, if recommended by the provider
At Skin Secrets, all weight loss injections are physician supervised by Dr. Greta McLaren, ensuring the medication, dosing, and follow up plan are appropriate and safe for you. A consultation is the best way to confirm eligibility and discuss which option fits your goals.
“3-3-3” is not a medical standard; it is a popular habit framework, and you will see a few versions online. Some programs use it for simplified meal structure (3 meals, spaced about 3 hours apart, plus a daily movement goal). Others use “3-3-3” to simplify macro tracking by choosing 3 protein sources, 3 fat sources, and 3 carb sources for the week. If you want to include it on your page, it is best framed as “one simple option,” not a rule.
It can be, especially if you have tried on your own and keep stalling. A clinic adds medical screening, structured follow-up, accountability, and help managing side effects or plateaus. It is also a safer setting if you are using prescription weight loss medication.
A physician with training in weight management, often a board certified obesity medicine specialist, endocrinologist, or primary care doctor experienced in obesity care. The most important part is that they evaluate your health history, current medications, and risk factors, then monitor your progress over time. At Skin Secrets, your plan is physician supervised by Dr. Greta McLaren, so your program is personalized, monitored, and adjusted based on how your body responds.
It depends on your starting weight, dose, and consistency. Also, Ozempic is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes, not specifically for weight loss. For context, in a major semaglutide weight loss study using the 2.4 mg dose (marketed as Wegovy for weight management), average weight loss at 12 weeks was about 9.6% of starting body weight. Your results may be higher or lower.
Many people regain some weight after stopping GLP-1 medications unless they transition to a long-term maintenance plan. In the STEP 1 trial extension, participants regained a substantial portion of the weight they had lost after semaglutide was withdrawn.
Ozempic should not be used in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or those with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and it should not be used if you are allergic to semaglutide. Your provider will also review other cautions and your full medical history from the prescribing information.
Sometimes, but coverage varies a lot by plan and diagnosis. Many employer plans are more likely to cover GLP-1 medications for diabetes than for weight loss, and coverage rules have been changing. Medicare coverage for GLP-1s specifically for weight loss has also been limited and policy dependent.
A tummy tuck is mainly an inch and contour procedure, not a weight loss method. The amount of tissue removed varies, and reported averages are often only a few pounds.
What people call “Ozempic face” is usually related to losing facial fat with weight loss, which can make volume loss and skin laxity more noticeable. It is not a special side effect unique to Ozempic, it can happen with any significant weight loss. If weight is regained, some facial fullness can return, but skin changes vary by age, genetics, and how fast the weight changed.
