Over the last 15 years, Semaglutide has been used to treat type 2 diabetes. Recently, the FDA has approved Semaglutide (also known as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Rybelsus) which, for the right candidate, has been shown to help lose 15% to 20% of body weight. When this medication is combined with proper exercise and diet, you are heading on a path of success to reach your goal weight. Semaglutide has a much safer profile than other weight loss medications such as phentermine. Semaglutide increases insulin secretion, which is good for diabetics, but in higher doses, it acts on centers in the brain and suppresses appetite. It can help lower a person’s set point, i.e., the weight your body naturally settles at due to an interplay of genetics, biology, and environment. Along with diet and exercise, Semaglutide helps patients stick to a reduced-calorie diet, enhancing the weight-loss process. Semaglutide is injected under the skin with a tiny insulin needle – virtually painless. It is administered once weekly at any time of day, with or without food, but should be injected on the same day each week. Results vary from person-to-person, but in 2 months, you could lose up to 25 pounds. In 4 months, you could lose up to 50 pounds or more and you can repeat this program as many times as you wish.

Treatments are customized to your own desired results.

Most clients report that people will often tell them that they look fresh, happier, and well-rested or that their skin looks so smooth, without realizing that it is thanks to our treatments!

Fillers are a good option for: ​ · Lifting and contouring the cheeks · Enhancing, shaping, and volumizing the lips · Minimizing smile lines (nasolabial folds, parentheses) · Filling hollowed temples · Sculpting the chin · Softening vertical lip lines (straw lines, smokers lines) · Minimizing the look of saggy jowls · Filling in the hands · Filling in odd dents and hollows · Hollowing under eyes/tear troughs Discomfort levels vary depending on your pain tolerance. We use a medical strength topical numbing agent to make all filler injections as comfortable as possible. Most clients report little more than some mild discomfort.

For neurotoxins (ex. Botox), results may take up to 2 weeks after treatment to fully show. Results usually last 3-4 months, but this varies with each person. The effects of dermal fillers are noticeable immediately after the procedure. The length of time that results last varies based on the person as well as the product used. Most clients’ results last for 6-18 months, or even longer.
