Semaglutide offers a breakthrough solution for weight loss by effectively reducing appetite and promoting long-term, sustainable results. Semaglutide acts as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone that is naturally produced in the gut in response to food intake. When GLP-1 binds to its receptors in the brain, it signals feelings of fullness and reduces appetite, thereby decreasing the desire to eat. By mimicking the effects of GLP-1, Semaglutide helps to suppress appetite, leading to reduced calorie intake. This appetite suppression can make it easier for individuals to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet, which is essential for weight loss.
Our wellness program stands out from others offering Semaglutide, as it is meticulously overseen by Dr. Luciano Del Toro and his wellness team. This level of supervision ensures that our program is not only well-organized but also sustainable and ultimately successful. With expert guidance, we prioritize the long-term health and well-being of our participants, making our program a reliable and effective choice for those seeking lasting results. We proudly offer two options: in-office weekly injections with close monitoring by our team, or an at-home option that includes self-administered injections.

Ensure you fast for 8-12 hours before your appointment for accurate results.
Lab Draw: On the day of your appointment, a Labcorp phlebotomist will draw your blood. Your samples will be processed, and the results will be sent directly to us.

The usual treatment duration typically spans from 10 to 15 minutes. At the first appointment, photographs, measurements, and weight will be taken. Weekly weight changes will be recorded at each subsequent appointment thereafter to monitor your progress.
The duration of downtime associated with Palo Alto or San Jose Semaglutide treatments can vary from patient to patient. Similarly, the side effects experienced may differ depending on the individual.
Semaglutide is administered through subcutaneous injections, given weekly by one of our nurses in the office. The frequency and method of administration ensure proper management and effectiveness of the treatment.
Once a week, in-office.
Individual responses to Semaglutide may differ. Factors such as starting weight, adherence to treatment, diet, and exercise habits can influence the rate and extent of weight loss. Additionally, the Wellness Team may adjust the dosage of Semaglutide based on individual response and tolerability, which can also affect the timeline for weight loss results.
Overall, while some individuals may experience noticeable weight loss relatively quickly after starting Semaglutide, others may require more time to achieve significant results. Consistency with treatment and lifestyle modifications, along with regular monitoring by the Wellness Team, are essential for maximizing the benefits of Semaglutide for weight management.
The decision regarding the duration of San Jose or Palo Alto Semaglutide treatment is made on an individual basis, with careful consideration of the patient's medical history and treatment goals. Regular follow-up appointments with the Wellness Team are essential to assess treatment progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
Ensuring the success of your personalized weight loss program relies on your commitment to scheduled injection appointments. We recognize that unforeseen circumstances may arise, and we are here to support you by rescheduling appointments to the nearest available date. Your dedication to these appointments is strongly encouraged and contributes significantly to your journey toward achieving your goals.
