12 Week Comprehensive Weight Loss Program SEMAGLUTIDE


  • We at Diamond Dermis are excited to offer a Semaglutide injections weight loss program inSan Antonio. TX . This medication, most famously marketed under the brand name Ozempic®, is a protective factor, minimizing the risk of developing life-altering and potentially deadly conditions such as heart disease, high blood sugar and stroke.

  • We recognize that obesity is a chronic disease regulated by our hormones. So, being overweight is not a matter of willpower. We have the tools, science, and support to make a real difference in your weight.

  • When combined with our famous B12 Skinny Shot and state of the art weight loss coaching, Semaglutide works to achieve an optimal body weight. Our multi-dimensional approach to weight loss works with patients–not against them. In this manner, we get actual and sustained results—no more yo-yo dieting; no more gaining back all the weight that may have been lost (and then some). This program combines clinically proven medication, coaching and accountability which is a very powerful combination.

  • Weekly in-office Semaglutide injections. Semaglutide boosts the production of insulin. It decreases hunger by regulating the hormones responsible for body weight. This medication is appropriate for individuals aged 18 and older who are not pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have diabetes, speak with your primary care provider before taking Semaglutide.
  • One-on-one meetings with our weight loss prescribers. Our program favorably differentiates from the slew of others by providing real, substantive support. Weekly check-ins with one of our skilled practitioners also provide accountability. The presence of accountability partners has been proven to increase the odds of achieving goals, be it shedding a few pounds or running the first 5K or marathon.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does SemaGlutide work?
Semaglutide mimics a hormone found in your body called GLP-1. This peptide therapy stimulates insulin production, sends signals to your brain telling you that you are full, and slows gastric emptying.
How much weight can I expect to lose on semaglutide?
It will be different for each patient. You can safely expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week. For some, weight loss will be faster and some will be slower. Other factors such as diet and exercise will also affect weight.
How long do I need to take SemaGlutide?
Semaglutide was intended to be a maintenance medication for weight loss. We have broken the program down into 6 week increments for affordability for our clients. Most clients should expect to be on this medication for at least 3 months. This again will vary depending on side effects, weight loss goals, rate of weight loss, and financial resources.
Does Diamond Demis take Insurance?
No. We currently do not take insurance. We do offer financing through Cherry for our clients. Unlike getting this medication through insurance, our program offers added benefits such as customized B12 vitamin metabolism shots, and additional resources like accountability and weight loss coaching. We are also not subject to the same medication shortages that are common with this medication
Why is the medication cheaper at Diamond Dermis than at my pharmacy?
We are utilizing a compounding pharmacy to prepare a generic form of the weight loss medication. You can think of this as when you go to the pharmacy and there is the brand name medication (for example Advil) and then the generic or pharmacy/grocery brand alternative (ibuprofen).
How often should I take this medication?
Due to the long half life of this medication (6.8 days), semaglutide is intended to be injected once every 7 days. Due to side effects, medication should only be taken every 7 days according to the titration schedule provided.

WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?Semaglutide is a revolutionary GLP-1 receptor agonist that was originally developed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, but when providers and pharmaceutical developers noticed how much weight their patients were losing, they began to study semaglutide exclusively for weight loss. A series of clinical trials known as the STEP clinical trials demonstrated that almost 90% of patients lost 5% or more of their body weight. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares. In June of 2022, the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss. HOW DOES SEMAGLUTIDE WORK?Semaglutide acts like GLP-1 (a gut hormone) to:• Increase insulin production• Decrease glucagon synthesis• Delay gastric emptyingSuppress hunger. It signals your brain that you are full so you can loose weight without feeling like you are depriving yourself. WHAT ARE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS?• Commonly reported Gl side effects - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain• Site reactions• Fatigue• Headaches WHO IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR SEMAGLUTIDE AT DIAMOND DERMIS?• < 18 years old• Pregnant/breastfeeding• Type 1 diabetes mellitus• Hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any components of this medication• Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma• History of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome• History of pancreatitis• End stage renal disease (on dialysis)• BMI<25• Type 2 diabetic patients that are on insulin or a sulfonylurea• Patients with diabetic retinopathy• Patients with that are on several antihypertensive medications WHO /S A CANDIDATE?• Everyone else* *Health history, medications and body weight information will be carefully reviewed by a licensed provider to determine each candidate's eligibility.
