Semaglutide is a revolutionary prescription medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes and now FDA-approved for medical weight loss. It mimics a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite, slow digestion, stabilize blood sugar, and enhance fat metabolism — helping you lose weight safely and sustainably.

Most patients begin noticing reduced appetite and weight loss within the first 2–4 weeks. Significant fat reduction typically occurs after 8–12 weeks of consistent use when combined with healthy habits and professional guidance.

The most common side effects are mild and temporary — including nausea, bloating, constipation, or fatigue during early dose adjustment. Our medical team carefully monitors and supports you through every phase to ensure comfort and results.

QHW Patients can lose UP to 20% or more of their body weight in the first 3 to 6 months. Individual results vary depending on starting weight, dosage, and commitment to healthy habits.

Semaglutide is a simple, once-weekly subcutaneous injection (tiny needle under the skin). In some cases, our providers may also offer compounded versions or custom titration schedules to fit your needs and minimize side effects.

You may regain weight if lifestyle habits are not maintained. Your QHW MEDSPA Physician(s) and healthcare team will develop a effective plan to help you transition to a sustainable and maintenance plan. A transition plan may consist of slowly titrating your dose down over a period of a few weeks, to no longer taking the medication; or tailoring a individual maintenance plan, which may include continued low-dose therapy, supplements, or hormone optimization to preserve your results long-term.
