At Nowak Aesthetics, we are committed to offering our patients the latest advancements in medical weight loss. Semaglutide is a physician-supervised treatment designed to support meaningful, sustainable weight loss alongside healthier long-term habits. Our team pairs Semaglutide treatment with InBody body composition scans, so your progress is measured by more than the number on the scale, helping you lose fat while preserving muscle. Discover more about Semaglutide, how it works, and whether you might be a good candidate.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a medication first developed to manage type 2 diabetes that has since become widely used for medical weight loss. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel fuller longer and reducing overall calorie intake. Semaglutide is administered under medical supervision at Nowak Aesthetics, with dosing tailored to your goals and monitored throughout treatment. If a different GLP-1 medication may be a better fit for you, our team also offers Tirzepatide.
Benefits of Semaglutide
- Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
- Greater feelings of fullness after meals
- Support for steady, sustainable weight loss when paired with healthy habits
- Improvements in metabolism for many patients
- Body composition tracking with InBody scans, so progress reflects fat loss and muscle preservation, not just pounds lost
Candidates for Semaglutide
Ideal candidates for Semaglutide include individuals who are struggling with weight management despite following a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. It is particularly beneficial for those with a BMI indicating overweight or obesity. Candidates should be ready to commit to a long-term treatment plan and lifestyle changes for optimal results.

Semaglutide Procedure
Semaglutide treatment begins with a consultation and an InBody body composition scan, which gives our team a clear baseline of your fat and muscle levels before you start. From there, Semaglutide is administered as a simple, weekly injection under the skin. Our healthcare professionals will provide detailed instructions and support for the self-administration process, with your dosage tailored to your needs and gradually increased over time to minimize potential side effects.
Semaglutide Recovery
Recovery from Semaglutide treatment is straightforward, with most patients experiencing minimal disruption to their daily lives. Some may experience mild side effects such as nausea, which typically subsides as the body adjusts to the medication. Regular follow-ups with our team will ensure the treatment progresses smoothly and adjustments can be made as necessary.
Semaglutide Results
Patients using Semaglutide can expect gradual, steady weight loss over the course of treatment, with regular InBody scans to track fat loss and muscle preservation along the way. Many patients pair Semaglutide with body contouring treatments such as Emsculpt Neo to help maintain muscle tone and address stubborn areas of fat as they lose weight.

Semaglutide Pricing & Consultation
Because Semaglutide treatment is customized based on your goals, medical history, and recommended dosage, pricing can vary from patient to patient.
What to expect:
- Most customized Semaglutide treatment plans typically fall within the high hundreds to low thousands
- A $225 consultation with a medical provider is required to determine the right treatment plan, and that fee is applied toward treatment if you move forward
- Depending on your goals and health concerns, your provider may recommend lab work before starting treatment. Labs drawn in-office are $199
Wondering about exact pricing?
Semaglutide dosing is not one-size-fits-all. Pricing depends on your recommended dosage, treatment duration, and how many vials are needed, which is why exact pricing is determined during your consultation.
