Medical Weight Loss in Modesto
At SkinRenew, we believe weight loss should be approached as a medical and lifestyle journey—not a one-size-fits-all program.
Your treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Kwon. She will review your medical history, current medications, health concerns, weight-loss goals, and laboratory results to determine whether prescription weight-loss medication is appropriate for you.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Prescription weight-loss medication when medically appropriate
- Semaglutide-based treatment
- Medical monitoring and follow-up
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
- Laboratory testing
- Personalized weight-loss goals
- Ongoing support throughout your treatment
Our goal is to provide safe, medically supervised care while helping you develop healthy habits that can support long-term results.
What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1 medications can affect appetite, feelings of fullness, and blood sugar regulation.
Semaglutide may help patients:
- Feel fuller after eating
- Reduce appetite
- Decrease food cravings
- Eat smaller portions
- Support blood sugar regulation
- Lose weight when combined with appropriate diet and physical activity
Different semaglutide products have different FDA-approved indications. During your consultation, Dr. Kwon will determine which treatment, if any, is medically appropriate for your individual situation.
What Is Ozempic®?
Ozempic® is a prescription medication containing semaglutide. It is FDA-approved to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and to reduce certain cardiovascular risks in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
Because Ozempic contains semaglutide, it is sometimes discussed in connection with weight loss. However, prescription medications containing semaglutide have different FDA-approved uses and dosing.
Dr. Kwon can discuss your medical history and goals with you and determine the most appropriate treatment option.
Is Semaglutide Weight Loss Right for You?
Prescription weight-loss medications are not appropriate for everyone.
During your consultation, Dr. Kwon will evaluate factors including:
- Your medical history
- Current medications
- Weight and health history
- Weight-loss goals
- Overall health
- Laboratory results
- Potential risks and contraindications
Blood work is required before beginning treatment to help determine whether treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
Your consultation is an important part of the process because it allows Dr. Kwon to create a treatment plan based on your individual medical needs rather than simply prescribing medication.
What Can I Expect During Medical Weight Loss Treatment?
Your weight-loss journey begins with a one-on-one medical consultation with Dr. Kwon.
After reviewing your health history and laboratory results, she will discuss your treatment options and answer your questions. If medication is appropriate, she will provide instructions regarding your treatment, dosing, potential side effects, and follow-up care.
Regular follow-up is an important part of medically supervised weight loss. Your progress can be monitored and your treatment plan adjusted as needed.
Possible Side Effects of Semaglutide
Like all prescription medications, semaglutide can cause side effects.
Some of the more common side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal discomfort
- Decreased appetite
Side effects can vary from person to person. Dr. Kwon will review the potential benefits, risks, and side effects with you before treatment begins.
If you experience concerning or severe symptoms during treatment, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
How Much Weight Can I Lose With Semaglutide?
Weight-loss results vary from patient to patient.
Your results can be influenced by factors including your starting weight, medical history, diet, physical activity, medication adherence, and overall health.
Prescription medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach that includes healthy nutrition, physical activity, and sustainable lifestyle changes.
Rather than focusing only on a number on the scale, our goal is to help you develop a healthier, more sustainable approach to weight management.
