Reclaim your health. Feel confident in your body again
Lose 15–20% of your body weight with guidance from licensed physicians. If diet and exercise have not given you the results you want, medical weight loss treatment may help you regain control of your appetite and see steady progress.
Supervised by Licensed Physicians in Orange County
Semaglutide injections are prescribed and monitored by licensed physicians as part of a structured medical weight loss program at Unify Care. Treatment always starts with a consultation where we review your health history, your weight loss challenges, and what you want to achieve.
Your injection contains semaglutide, the medication that helps reduce appetite and helps you feel full sooner. We explain exactly how the treatment works, how often injections are needed, and how we adjust your dose based on your progress.
Semaglatitude Weight Loss Shot
About Dosing & Administration: Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly. Treatment begins at a lower dose and is gradually increased over time to help your body adjust and minimize side effects. Your treating physician determines final dosing. Branded injections use a prefilled pen; compounded versions require drawing each dose individually from a vial.
Important: Treatment is available only after a medical evaluation and if clinically appropriate. A prescription from a licensed physician is required. Branded medications and compounded/non-branded products are not identical, compounded products are not FDA-approved drugs. Individual results vary.
You may be a candidate if you:
Semaglutide mimics GLP-1, a hormone that signals fullness to your brain. You naturally eat less, without the white-knuckled willpower or constant hunger cravings.
Clinical trials show patients lose 15-20% of body weight over 12–18 months. Unlike crash diets, weight loss is gradual, preserving muscle and metabolic health.
Originally developed for Type 2 diabetes, semaglutide helps regulate insulin and glucose levels, reducing the risk of developing diabetes even if you don’t have it yet.
Food stays in your stomach longer, extending feelings of fullness after meals. You feel satisfied on smaller portions, naturally reducing your overall caloric intake.
Semaglutide reduces blood pressure, improves cholesterol profiles, and lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events in overweight patients.
As weight decreases, patients report
dramatically improved energy, better sleep quality, reduced joint pain, and a renewed sense of confidence in their daily lives.
Semaglutide works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. Over time, this leads to meaningful, sustained weight loss in eligible patients.

At Unify Care, every semaglutide injection is prescribed and administered under a licensed physician’s supervision. Our structured process ensures your treatment is safe, effective, and customized to your individual health goals.
1. In-Depth Personal Consultation
We’ll begin by getting to know you and your health history. We’ll ask about any medications you’re taking, your lifestyle, and your goals. Then, we’ll make sure this treatment is safe and appropriate for you. If everything looks good, we’ll move forward with a prescription that fits your situation. Available in-person or via telehealth.
2. Lab Work and Evaluation
Once we decide to move ahead, we’ll create a plan based on your health profile and goals. We’ll start with a lower dose and gradually increase it to help your body adjust and minimize side effects. We’ll also schedule regular check-ins so we can track your progress and make any adjustments along the way.
3. Your Personalized Program Begins
Clinically Administered: Injections are performed by trained medical staff or guided for self-administration under instruction.
Prescription Compliance: Ensures the medication is used safely and legally. Follow-Up Guidance: Patients are advised on timing, storage, and handling of the medication.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support
You won’t be doing this alone. We’ll stay connected with regular check-ins to see how you’re feeling and how things are progressing. We’ll also talk about nutrition, exercise, and habits that can support your results. If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re here for you, every step of the journey.
The preferred primary site. Inject at least 2 inches from the navel, rotating spots within the area each week to prevent tissue buildup.
A convenient alternative for self-injection, the front outer portion of either thigh provides accessible, comfortable tissue for
subcutaneous delivery.
Typically administered by a healthcare provider. A good rotation option if you prefer to have a clinic staff member perform your weekly injection.
Semaglutide should not be injected into a localized area consistently, such as the same spot of the abdomen, hips, upper arms, thighs, flanks, feet, and neck. Rotate injection sites.
Staying consistent with semaglutide treatment shouldn’t depend on how often you can make it into a clinic. Unify Care offers a way to receive your injections and medical follow-up without interrupting your routine.
Through our in-home service, you can start and continue your semaglutide program from the comfort of your own space. We serve patients across Orange County, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino, and the Inland Empire, making access to treatment simpler and more manageable.
Your physician remains closely involved throughout the process, reviewing your progress, adjusting your dosage as needed, and monitoring how your body responds over time. Lab work and check-ins are arranged as part of your care, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Note: Ozempic® and Mounjaro® are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes management, not for weight loss. Any discussion of these medications in a weight-loss context refers to off-label use, which must be evaluated and prescribed by a licensed physician. Wegovy® and Zepbound® are FDA-approved for chronic weight management. Branded medications and compounded versions are not the same product. Availability subject to medical evaluation and valid prescription.
Can I use semaglutide if I have type 2 diabetes?
Semaglutide was originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, so it is often an excellent choice for patients managing both diabetes and excess weight. It improves insulin sensitivity, lowers A1C levels, and promotes meaningful weight loss simultaneously. Our physicians will review your current diabetes medications carefully, as dose adjustments to insulin or sulfonylureas may be needed to avoid hypoglycemia during treatment.
Can I get semaglutide through telehealth in Orange County?
Yes. Unify Med Care offers telehealth consultations for Orange County residents and throughout California. After your virtual consultation and lab review, your prescription is sent to a local or mail-order pharmacy. Injection training can be completed via video call. If you prefer to meet in person at our Orange County clinic, that option is always available. We designed the program to fit around your schedule, not the other way around.
Does insurance cover semaglutide for weight loss in California?
Coverage varies by plan. Wegovy prescribed for weight management is covered by a growing number of commercial insurance plans and increasingly by Medi-Cal, though prior authorization is typically required. Ozempic prescribed for type 2 diabetes is more consistently covered across plans. Our team will review your specific insurance benefit, help you submit for prior authorization, and provide all necessary documentation. For patients without coverage, we offer transparent self-pay pricing with no hidden fees.
Do I have to come into the clinic every week for my injection?
No. Semaglutide is self-administered at home using a prefilled pen device. You only need to visit the clinic for your initial consultation, injection training, and periodic check-in appointments. We also offer telehealth check-ins for Orange County patients who prefer not to travel. The goal is to make this as easy as possible to fit into your regular life in OC, not to add another recurring obligation to your week.
Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both, but they are not the same product. Wegovy® is FDA-approved for chronic weight management. Ozempic® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. They differ by approved indication, dosing, and formulation. If a compounded semaglutide is prescribed, it is not the same as either branded drug and is not FDA-approved.
How soon will I start seeing results?
Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first 2–4 weeks. Meaningful weight loss typically becomes visible by weeks 8–12 as your dose is gradually increased. Clinical trials show an average of −15% body weight over 68 weeks. Results vary by individual.
What happens if I stop taking semaglutide?
Weight loss from semaglutide is linked to continued use. If you stop, appetite typically returns to baseline and weight can return over time. Your physician will discuss a long-term plan, including whether tapering, maintenance dosing, or lifestyle strategies make sense for your goals.
Will I need to change my diet or exercise habits?
Semaglutide is most effective when paired with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Your care team at Unify Care will discuss nutrition and exercise habits during your check-ins to support your results, not replace good habits, but make them much easier to sustai.
Are there any upfront costs before I’m prescribed?
The initial consultation is the first step, there’s no commitment to a full program before your physician completes your evaluation and confirms eligibility. Costs for the program, medication, and ongoing care are discussed transparently before you start.
Can semaglutide interact with other medications I’m taking?
Yes, drug interactions are possible, particularly with diabetes medications that lower blood sugar, since combining them can increase hypoglycemia risk. This is one reason a full medication review happens at your consultation before any prescription is issued.
What are the most common side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects are gastrointestinal, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially early in treatment or after a dose increase. These typically ease as your body adjusts. Your physician will guide you on how to manage them and when to reach out if something feels off.
