Semaglutide Injections in San Antonio, TX
Semaglutide is an advanced, once-weekly injection that helps with safe and sustainable weight loss. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide is now one of the most popular treatments for obesity and long-term weight management. At Jovem Med Spa, we offer compounded Semaglutide injections as an effective alternative to brand name medications like Ozempic® and Wegovy®.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a medication in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class. It mimics a natural hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar, slows digestion, and reduces appetite. By helping you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer, Semaglutide makes it easier to control portions, resist cravings, and achieve meaningful weight loss.
Brand names like Ozempic® and Wegovy® both contain Semaglutide as the active ingredient. At Jovem Med Spa, we provide compounded Semaglutide through licensed compounding pharmacies. This allows us to make the treatment accessible and customizable while maintaining the same active benefits.
How Semaglutide Works
Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone (GLP-1) that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar. It slows digestion, increases feelings of fullness, and reduces cravings, making it easier to eat less and lose weight while supporting healthier metabolism.

What to Expect During Treatment
After an initial consultation, you will begin a weekly injection plan tailored to your health needs and weight goals. Injections can be performed in-office or self-administered at home after proper training. Most clients begin to notice appetite control and early weight changes within a few weeks, with continued results over several months.
How Long Does Semaglutide Last?
Each dose of semaglutide works for about one week, which is why it’s given as a once-weekly injection. With consistent use, benefits build over time, supporting steady weight loss and improved appetite control. If treatment is stopped, appetite and weight may gradually return to baseline, so ongoing therapy and lifestyle changes are recommended to maintain results.
How Semaglutide Differs From Name Brands
While Ozempic® and Wegovy® are FDA approved brand name medications that contain Semaglutide, compounded Semaglutide is prepared by specialized compounding pharmacies. This allows for more flexibility in dosing and availability, especially during brand shortages. The active ingredient remains the same, providing equivalent benefits for weight management.
