What is Semaglutide?

Originally developed as a treatment for diabetes, Semaglutide has emerged as a game-changer in weight management. This GLP-1 medication targets crucial appetite-regulating centers in the brain, effectively curbing cravings, reducing body mass index, and supercharging metabolism.

Semaglutide mimics the effects of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), exerting precise control over appetite while mitigating overeating tendencies. Semaglutide minimizes gastrointestinal side effects through a carefully calibrated dosage regimen spanning 16 to 20 weeks, ensuring a safe and sustainable approach to long-term weight management.

While Semaglutide boasts an impressive success rate of 99% among our patients, we understand that individual needs vary. For those seeking alternatives or for whom Semaglutide may not be the optimal fit, we proudly offer Tirzepatide (Mounjaro).

First Steps

Your Journey Starts with Dr. Castelli

At Lux Skin Lasers in Philadelphia, PA, your transformation begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Castelli.

You will be able to review before-and-after pictures of previous patients to understand what is possible and what is necessary to adhere to a lifestyle change to achieve the best results from a Semaglutide weight loss plan. Our patient coordinator will schedule your Semaglutide treatment series when you agree to maintain your weight loss plan. You may begin your first treatment on the day of your consultation or schedule your first treatment for a later time. Dr. Castelli encourages patients to work closely with Lux Skin Lasers to monitor their progress with their Semaglutide treatments.

Your Semaglutide treatment will begin with weekly injections at our Lux Skin Lasers practice in Philadelphia, PA. You will receive a carefully calibrated dosage regimen spanning 16 to 20 weeks and will be monitored for any adverse health effects as your weight loss progresses. Dr. Castelli will review your weight loss progress and adjust your dosage as necessary for safe, optimal results. Each individual treatment should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete.
