Medical Weight Loss in Philadelphia, PA
Personalized GLP-1 Weight Loss Programs
Losing weight isn't always as simple as eating less and exercising more. Hormones, metabolism, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions can all make it difficult to achieve lasting results.
At Touch Aesthetic, we offer personalized medical weight loss programs featuring Semaglutide, a GLP-1 medication designed to help reduce appetite, manage cravings, and support sustainable weight loss under medical supervision.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a prescription GLP-1 medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone responsible for regulating appetite and blood sugar. When paired with healthy nutrition, movement, and lifestyle habits, it can help support sustainable, long-term weight management.
How It Works
Semaglutide is administered as a once-weekly injection beneath the skin. It works by slowing stomach emptying, increasing feelings of fullness, reducing hunger signals, supporting healthy insulin response, and helping decrease overall calorie intake. As your dosage is gradually increased, many patients begin noticing changes within the first several weeks when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Semaglutide may be appropriate for adults with a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with a qualifying weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular disease.
Every consultation includes a medical evaluation to determine whether treatment is appropriate based on your medical history and personal goals.

Expected Results
Clinical studies have shown that Semaglutide may help many individuals lose approximately 9–13% of their body weight over one year when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. Results vary based on your starting weight, consistency, nutrition, physical activity, metabolism, and overall health. Our focus is on creating realistic, sustainable progress—not quick fixes.
