How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?
Science has changed its understanding of weight loss and how to help people who have struggled to lose weight in the past. New medications like semaglutide target the root causes of excess weight, so you eat less without cravings, letting people achieve their health and aesthetic goals. Your Rejuve Med-Spa team takes pride in helping you on your journey.
What is Semaglutide for Weight Loss?
Semaglutide is a medication that is injected once weekly to help you lose weight. Several brand names contain this medication, but it can also come from a compounding pharmacy that formulates it specifically for your provider. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist, which means that it works on the same receptors in the brain as the GLP-1 peptide that helps regulate appetite and metabolism.
How Much Does Semaglutide Cost?
When looking for options, you will find that pricing for semaglutide varies widely according to many factors. How much you can expect to pay for this medication depends on:
- Whether you are getting semaglutide through your insurance
- The dose of semaglutide you need to lose weight
- Whether your provider offers discounts or programs
- The level of support and care you receive with your medication
Getting semaglutide through insurance can be very challenging, and supplies are often short. At Rejuve, we work with our compounding pharmacy for a consistent supply of your medication at all times. We also provide support and monitoring to ensure you get the most out of your treatment.
Because each person’s experience will differ, the cost of semaglutide will vary. We recommend a consultation so we can discuss your goals, determine if this medication will provide the results you hope for, and provide you with an accurate cost guide.

How Does Semaglutide Work?
GLP-1 is a peptide, a small protein that can carry messages to your brain about fullness, how fast to empty food from your stomach, and how much energy your body needs. Because semaglutide acts like this peptide, it can send more of these signals, making you think less about food and feel less desire to eat.
Are There Any Side Effects With Semaglutide?
Many people experience some degree of nausea or other digestive issues when starting semaglutide or when the dose increases. These effects usually disappear over time, and people rarely stop the medication because of them. More serious side effects are possible, so we recommend getting your medication from a provider like Rejuve that can give you the support you need.
Am I a Good Candidate for Weight Loss With Semaglutide?
Semaglutide was originally developed for people with type 2 diabetes, but the FDA has approved it as a safe weight loss medication for most people. Good candidates are committed to weight loss and willing to combine their semaglutide with behavioral changes, including learning more about nutrition and adding physical activity.
