Medically Supervised Semaglutide (GLP-1)
A medically supervised GLP-1 weight-management program — provided only after a consultation and eligibility screening, with ongoing clinical monitoring. Semaglutide is a prescription medication, and not everyone is a candidate.
Semaglutide is a prescription medication provided only after a medical consultation and eligibility screening. Individual results vary. Not everyone is a candidate.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication used as part of a medically supervised weight-management program. At Pristine it is never sold as a quick fix or handed out on request. Every program begins with a medical consultation and eligibility screening, and continues with ongoing monitoring under the oversight of a double board-certified cosmetic surgeon. We will tell you honestly whether semaglutide is appropriate for you — and, just as importantly, when it is not.
What Semaglutide Is
A GLP-1 medication
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It mimics a hormone your body already makes (GLP-1) that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar.
How it affects appetite
By acting on GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide can slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite signals, which may help some people eat less and feel full sooner.
Prescription only
Semaglutide is a prescription medication. It is provided only after a medical consultation and eligibility screening, and only when a qualified prescriber determines it is appropriate for you.
Part of a supervised program
Medication is one component of a broader, medically supervised program that includes screening, dosing guidance, and ongoing monitoring — not a standalone product.
How Medically Supervised Weight Management Works
A medically supervised program is structured, monitored, and individualized — built around clinical screening rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Medical consultation
You meet with our team to review your health history, current medications, and goals, and to determine whether a GLP-1 program is appropriate to consider.
Eligibility screening
Eligibility is assessed against medical criteria. Lab work or additional history may be requested. Not everyone is a candidate, and we will tell you if you are not.
Individualized plan
If you are eligible, a qualified prescriber determines an appropriate medication and dosing approach for you, with clear guidance on what to expect.
Ongoing monitoring
Your progress, tolerance, and any side effects are monitored over time, and your plan is reviewed and adjusted under medical oversight as needed.
The Consultation & Eligibility Screening
Before any medication is considered, every client completes a medical consultation and eligibility screening:
Health history review
medical conditions, personal and family history, current medications and supplements, and any prior weight-management treatments
Eligibility assessment
screening against medical criteria and contraindications to determine whether semaglutide is appropriate to consider for you
Lab work when indicated
baseline labs or additional testing may be requested before a program begins
Program structure & cost
how the program is structured, what monitoring involves, and transparent pricing — explained before any decision
Decision point
a qualified prescriber decides whether to proceed; there is no obligation and no pressure either way
What to Expect
Screening first
No medication is provided until your medical consultation and eligibility screening are complete.
Guided dosing
If appropriate, semaglutide is typically started at a low dose and adjusted gradually under medical guidance to support tolerability.
Administration guidance
You receive clear instructions on how the medication is administered and stored, and what symptoms to watch for.
Follow-up & monitoring
Scheduled follow-ups track your response and tolerance, and your plan is reviewed and adjusted under medical oversight.
Safety, Monitoring & Side Effects
Common side effects
GLP-1 medications can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, which is one reason dosing is started low and increased gradually under supervision.
Why monitoring matters
Ongoing monitoring lets your provider track tolerance, adjust your plan, and address side effects early — a core reason this is a supervised medical program.
When to contact us
You will be told which symptoms to report and when to seek care. Always follow your provider’s instructions and the medication guide.
Not for everyone
Semaglutide has contraindications and is not appropriate for some people. Eligibility is determined individually at your screening.
