"Compounded" refers to a medication that is custom-made by a specialty compounding pharmacy to meet the specific needs of an individual patient. At Coco Beauty Bar and Medical Spa, we offer compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with no other molecules like B12, specially formulated to support weight loss while also promoting overall metabolic health. Unlike the standard salt form of semaglutide, our compounded version is designed to enhance the benefits of weight loss by supporting the health of your metabolism, red blood cells, and nerves.

Our proprietary medications are crafted by one of the top compounding pharmacies in the United States, using semaglutide sourced from an NABP-accredited (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) manufacturer. This ensures the highest quality and safety standards for our patients.

Yes, when used as directed by a qualified healthcare professional, semaglutide is both safe and effective for weight loss. It has been thoroughly studied and approved for medical use under proper supervision. However, as with any medication, it's important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your provider after starting semaglutide treatments to ensure it remains the right choice for you.

When you stop taking semaglutide, there's a chance you may regain much of the lost weight. A 2021 study found that people often experience increased appetite and caloric intake after discontinuing weight loss treatments like semaglutide, leading to weight regain. However, a 2024 study showed that those who exercised while on the medication maintained more weight loss and muscle mass after stopping compared to those who didn't exercise.

However, a more recent study from 2024 provided some encouraging news. The study showed that individuals who incorporated regular exercise while using a weight loss drug, such as semaglutide, were able to maintain significantly more of their weight loss after stopping the medication compared to those who did not exercise. Additionally, those who exercised retained more muscle mass, which is crucial for overall health and maintaining a healthy metabolism.

The most common side effects of semaglutide include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation, usually mild and diminishing over time as your body adjusts. Serious side effects are rare, but if you experience any concerning symptoms, contact Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa or your primary care physician immediately for your safety.

Serious side effects are rare, but it's important to be aware of them. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects while taking semaglutide as part of our medically monitored weight loss program, we recommend contacting Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa or your primary care physician immediately to ensure your safety and well-being.

At Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa, we're dedicated to providing safe, effective treatments. We partner with an NABP-accredited pharmacy, ensuring our semaglutide and tirzepatide come from a reputable, high-standard compounding pharmacy, reflecting our commitment to quality and safety in all weight loss treatments.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that participants taking semaglutide lost an average of 15% of their body weight over more than a year. Notably, over one-third of participants lost more than 20%, highlighting semaglutide's effectiveness in a medically monitored weight loss program.

While semaglutide and tirzepatide are effective for many individuals, they may not work for everyone, especially if the dosage is not optimized. If someone isn't seeing the desired weight loss results, it could be due to the dose being too low. At Coco Beauty Bar & Medical Spa, we carefully manage and fine-tune dosages to ensure that our patients experience the full benefits of their weight loss medications. This personalized approach helps maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

While healthcare professionals believe that semaglutide and tirzepatide are likely destroyed in an infant's gastrointestinal tract, meaning the baby probably cannot absorb the drugs, we do not recommend using these medications while breastfeeding. It's important to prioritize the safety of both mother and child, so we advise discussing alternative options with your healthcare provider during this period.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are administered by injection into the fatty tissue of the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. These injections are typically given once every seven days, making them convenient and easy to incorporate into your routine.

There are no specific studies that evaluate the safety of drinking alcohol while using semaglutide or tirzepatide. However, since these medications can lower blood sugar levels, it's important to consult with a medical professional to determine whether it's safe for you to have an occasional drink. Additionally, alcohol can contribute to weight gain, which may reduce the effectiveness of semaglutide and tirzepatide in your treatment.
