Guidance and Support for Your Weight Loss Journey
What is medical weight loss?
Our structured weight loss program provides you with guidance and medical support from our experienced healthcare professionals to help you make true progress on your weight loss journey. Among the advanced treatments we offer are semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which support weight loss by reducing your appetite as you work toward embracing your healthiest lifestyle.
As you lose weight, you may find that skin laxity (loose skin) starts to become an issue. Our team is here to help you by offering state-of-the-art nonsurgical skin-tightening treatments, such as energy skin tightening and toning. TriLift is a revolutionary treatment that redefines non-surgical skin rejuvenation. TriLift takes skin transformation further by using dynamic muscle stimulation (DMS) to tone underlying muscles, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce wrinkles—all without downtime. Performing these treatments in coordination with a comprehensive medical weight loss strategy can help reduce the impact of weight loss on your skin.

Am I a candidate for medical weight loss?
Our medical weight loss program is designed for patients who have struggled with weight loss through traditional methods like diet and exercise and are experiencing health issues related to obesity. Candidates should be committed to making lifestyle changes that support a healthy weight in the long term.
Candidates for weight loss with loss with semaglutide include:
- Individuals with Obesity or Overweight: Those who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity) or a BMI of 27 or higher with related health conditions (overweight) can benefit from semaglutide.
- People with Health Conditions Related to Excess Weight: Individuals with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea may find semaglutide particularly beneficial as part of a comprehensive weight loss strategy.
Medical weight loss with semaglutide or tirzepatide may not be suitable for everyone.

Medical Weight Loss
Frequently Asked Questions
Our comprehensive, medically supervised program incorporates several strategies, including medications like semaglutide and personalized nutrition counseling that works with your lifestyle.
Semaglutide is a medication originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it has gained renown for its effectiveness in supporting weight loss. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that mimics a hormone that regulates appetite and glucose levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide slows gastric emptying, which increases feelings of fullness and reduces overall calorie intake. This can support significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
In addition to curbing appetite, semaglutide also helps improve metabolic markers including blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods and need additional support. The medication is administered via weekly injections, making it a convenient option for even the busiest of schedules.
The decision to incorporate semaglutide into your treatment plan will be based on your individual needs and medical history. Your LongJuve provider will take a detailed assessment of your health, medical history, and weight loss goals to determine whether semaglutide is a safe and effective choice for you.

Visit frequency varies depending on your individual plan. We will schedule regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Many patients start to see results within the first month of treatment. Significant and more noticeable weight reduction generally occurs over the first 12 to 16 weeks as the medication helps reduce appetite and supports a calorie deficit.
However, your individual results may vary based on your adherence to the treatment, lifestyle changes, and overall health. Consistent use of semaglutide or tirzepatide, combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, enhances the effectiveness of the treatment, leading to continued weight loss over time. It’s important for patients to follow up regularly with their LongJuve provider to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to their treatment plan.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are both injectable medications. While generally well-tolerated, common side effects may include nausea, vomiting diarrhea, and stomach. These medications can also lower blood sugar levels, potentially to hypoglycemia. Regular monitoring and communication with your team at LongJuve can help manage and minimize any possible side effects.
