Semaglutide.
FDA-approved weight-loss medication. Medically supervised.
How it works.
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a hormone your gut produces after eating. It slows digestion and signals fullness to your brain — so you feel satisfied sooner and stay satisfied longer. Combined with healthy eating and regular movement, most patients see meaningful weight loss over 3–6 months.
What to expect.
The main side effect is nausea, which improves with continued use. Most patients report the nausea is manageable and worth the results. Take at the same day each week, any time of day, with or without food — Ali prescribes and follows it from Flawless Faces med spa in Chandler, and you can read the patient reviews first.
