Excess weight can impact your confidence, mobility and overall health. If you have struggled to lose weight with traditional methods, a medical weight loss program may provide the structure and support you need. At our office, Dr. Julie Kupersmith offers a guided weight loss program using Semaglutide, an FDA-approved medication designed to help patients achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription medication initially developed for diabetes management but has since been approved for chronic weight management. It is the generic name for the brand names Ozempic® and Wegovy®. Wegovy was approved by the FDA for weight management of adults and children over the age of 12 in June 2021, and Semaglutide is the first approved drug for chronic weight management in adults with general obesity or who are overweight since 2014.
Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and food intake, leading to reduced hunger and improved portion control. Clinical studies show that Semaglutide can help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight when combined with a proper diet and exercise regimen.*
How The Program Works
Your Semaglutide experience will begin with a personal consultation with our cosmetic surgeon. During this consultation, Dr. Kupersmith will assess your health history, weight loss goals and overall suitability for treatment. Once approved, you will receive a weekly injection of Semaglutide in our office. These visits also include weigh-ins, blood pressure monitoring and guidance on maintaining progress. The structured nature of the program ensures you stay accountable and see measurable results.
Our program is designed for those seeking steady, sustainable weight loss. It consists of weekly sessions as well as optional enhancements for additional fat-burning in conjunction with B-12. Patients can expect to lose up to 25 pounds within the first two months and potentially 50 pounds or more over four to five months. While individual results may vary, our medical team will guide you through every step of your weight loss journey.
Comprehensive Support for Lasting Results
Weight loss is not just about medication – it is about adopting healthier habits. We provide recommendations on nutrition and exercise to enhance the effects of Semaglutide. A balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean Diet, with an intake of 1,000-1,200 calories per day, helps optimize weight loss. Mild to moderate exercise, such as walking or resistance training for at least 30 minutes five days a week, further improves results.
For those looking to enhance their weight loss experience, we offer optional Lipo-Stat Plus injections to aid in fat metabolism and energy levels. Additionally, we monitor potential interactions with medications and advise on moderating alcohol intake, as it may affect blood sugar levels and stomach sensitivity during treatment.
