What your monthly price buys

This is medically guided treatment, not simply medication. Some services only dispense the medication and leave the rest to you. Here, one monthly price covers the care around every dose.

Medical screening first

A provider reviews your health history and bloodwork before anything is prescribed. Bloodwork is required.

Your medication

Semaglutide prescribed by our medical team and filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.

Injections given by a nurse

At your weekly in-clinic visit a nurse gives the injection and checks how you are doing.

Weight checks and dose adjustments

Your dose starts low and steps up gradually, adjusted to your response and how you tolerate it.

Formal lab review

Your labs go straight to our medical team. Recent bloodwork is reviewed before your first visit at no charge.

Support between visits

Diet and nutrition guidance, and a team you can call with questions, so you are never on your own.

In the clinic or at home?

Same plan, same monthly price. The only difference is where the injection happens.

Most patients

In the clinic

Come in weekly. A nurse gives every injection and checks your weight at each visit. Nothing to store or inject yourself.

  • Weekly nurse visits
  • Every injection given by a nurse
  • Weight check at each visit
  • Nothing to keep at home

At home

Prefer to self-inject? Your provider decides when you are ready. You get your injection in the clinic, take the rest of the month's doses home in a take-home kit, and come back monthly.

  • One clinic visit a month
  • Take-home kit with the rest of your doses
  • Monthly check-in, weight check and next supply
  • Same monthly price, switch anytime

Your provider confirms your dose, your exact price and which option fits you at your first visit. Nothing due today.

"Such a good experience at Cienega Med Spa with all the treatments and I'd highly recommend them. Especially if you are on the fence, or a first timer with their treatments. For each, my technicians have been thoughtful, informative and have talked me through ALL the questions. I've never felt pressured, not salesy as I've experienced with other places too!"

Common questions

Am I a candidate for semaglutide?

Most healthy adults looking to lose weight are good candidates, but not everyone qualifies - and that's exactly what your first visit is for. A licensed provider reviews your health history and recent lab work (or orders a quick blood draw at your visit) to confirm semaglutide is safe and the right fit for you before any medication is prescribed. Your whole program is physician-supervised from there. If semaglutide isn't right for you, we'll talk through your other options.

How fast can I start semaglutide?

If you have bloodwork from roughly the last 6 months, you are only limited by how fast you can book and upload it, and both take just minutes online. Your labs go straight to our medical team for review, at no charge, and the review happens before your first visit. Once you are cleared, your first injection happens right at that visit. No recent labs? We book you a quick blood draw first, and results typically come back within a few days.

What does the monthly price include?

Your monthly price buys a medically guided program, not medication alone. It includes your semaglutide, weekly in-clinic visits, injections given by a nurse, a provider review of your health history and labs before you start, weight checks, dose adjustments as you progress, and diet and nutrition guidance. Nothing is charged per shot. The only separate cost is bloodwork, and only if your insurance does not cover it.

Do I have to come in every week, or can I inject at home?

Both are available on the same plans at the same monthly price. Most patients come in weekly and a nurse gives every injection, with a weight check at each visit. If you would rather inject at home, your provider decides when you are ready: you get your injection in the clinic, take the rest of the month's doses home in a take-home kit, and come back monthly for your check-in, weight check and next supply. You choose at your visit and can switch later.

Where can I get semaglutide near me in Los Angeles?

Cienega Medical offers physician-supervised semaglutide weight-loss programs at three Los Angeles area clinics: West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Calabasas. Semaglutide is prescribed by our medical team when appropriate after a consultation that reviews your health history and goals. Call 323-655-8220 or book online to start at the location closest to you.

Is semaglutide the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®, both GLP-1 medications. The semaglutide we prescribe is compounded by a licensed pharmacy, is not FDA-approved, and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Your provider reviews whether it's appropriate for you at your first visit. Ozempic® and Wegovy® are registered trademarks of their manufacturers; Cienega is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
Do you offer Ozempic® or Wegovy® in Los Angeles?
We don't dispense the brand-name products Ozempic® or Wegovy®. Our Los Angeles clinics offer physician-supervised compounded semaglutide - the same GLP-1 active ingredient - prescribed and monitored by our medical team in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and Calabasas. Your first visit is free, so we can confirm it's the right fit before you commit.
How much weight can I expect to lose with semaglutide?
Clinical trials show patients lose an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Results vary based on starting weight, adherence, and lifestyle factors. Most patients notice reduced appetite and cravings within the first few weeks.
What is the semaglutide dosing schedule?
Semaglutide is injected once weekly. We start at 0.25mg and gradually increase over several weeks to the maintenance dose of 2.4mg. This gradual approach significantly reduces side effects compared to starting at full dose.
What are the side effects of semaglutide?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal-nausea, constipation, and diarrhea-which typically improve as your body adjusts. Our gradual dosing protocol and medical supervision help minimize discomfort.
How does semaglutide compare to tirzepatide?
Both are effective GLP-1 medications. Semaglutide has a longer track record and more extensive safety data. Tirzepatide may produce slightly more weight loss on average. Semaglutide is typically more affordable. Our medical team can help you choose.
Who should not take semaglutide?
Semaglutide is not recommended for patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). A blood test is required before starting to ensure safety.
Where do your peptides come from?

Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.
