Our providers at Skin Damsel Aesthetics., are pleased to announce a partnership with Connected Cardiovascular Care Associates, a nationally recognized cardiology and wellness practice in Dallas, Tx, to offer the Semaglutide Weight loss program. “Both of our clinics focus on health and wellness, which improves cardiovascular and overall health, so it was a natural partnership,” says Bernice Das, Founder of Skin Damsel Aesthetics. Offering a safe physician-coordinated program meets the goal of wanting you to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way.
Semaglutide is a medication that supports healthy weight loss by helping regulate appetite and how your body responds to food. It works by mimicking a natural hormone (GLP-1) that plays a role in blood sugar control and hunger signals. This means you may feel satisfied with smaller portions, have fewer cravings, and find it easier to make healthy choices that last.
At Skin Damsel, we prescribe semaglutide as part of a guided program that includes medical oversight and support tailored to your lifestyle.
Beyond weight itself, many people notice visible changes in how their body looks and feels when they use semaglutide consistently.
Areas that never seemed to respond to diet or exercise can begin to slim down as your overall body fat decreases.
Because abdominal fat is often linked to insulin resistance and appetite control, semaglutide can help reduce waistline size in a way that feels more sustainable.
Weight loss may also slim the face, especially in the cheeks and jawline, helping features look more defined.
Clothes fitting differently and more comfortably is one of the most common benefits our patients share.
Semaglutide doesn’t target just one body part. As your weight comes down, many areas begin to change naturally.
The stomach area often responds quickly, with a reduction in visceral and subcutaneous fat.
These hormone-sensitive areas can be hard to manage with exercise alone, but semaglutide helps mobilize stored fat here too.
Patients often notice less fullness in the upper arms, creating a more toned look.
Weight loss can lead to a slimmer, more sculpted appearance in the lower face and under the chin.
Adults with BMI > 25 and at least one other weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or Type II Diabetes.
Typically, people lose about 1-2 pounds a week. In the studies, 14.9% of total body loss was over the course of the study over 68 weeks. Those with BMIs >30 lost more weight.
*Individual weight loss varies with everyone. Semaglutide injections are not for anyone wanting to drop a few extra pounds. How seriously a person commits his or her health will determine how successful her weight loss journey will be.
There’s no downtime or “recovery period” with semaglutide. It’s a prescription medication that you take weekly, either through a small injection at home or in the office. Most patients go about their normal routine immediately. Some people notice temporary side effects like mild nausea, but these are usually short-lived and manageable.
To maintain and extend your results, ongoing healthy habits are key. Stay hydrated, prioritize protein, exercise your body regularly, and follow your provider’s dosing schedule.
Some patients continue with a maintenance dose after reaching their goal weight, while others transition off the medication with continued support from our team. At Skin Damsel, we’ll guide you through each stage so your results feel lasting and natural.
Semaglutide mimics a health-promoting, naturally occurring peptide in the body (GLP-1).
Studies have shown it reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings, in addition to improving blood sugar control. It works best with personalized lifestyle changes. It is different from other weight loss programs. Not a stimulant so no heart palpitations. Improves insulin resistance.
At Skin Damsel Aesthetics, we offer Semaglutide weight loss support through a personalized approach that begins with a virtual or in-office evaluation by our Nurse Practitioner. This initial visit includes a comprehensive health assessment, body composition analysis to track progress, and detailed instructions on how to safely administer Semaglutide at home. Patients also have the option to receive their weekly Semaglutide injections in-office, along with complimentary lipotropic (skinny) shots to enhance fat metabolism and energy levels.
After completing the initial phase, we offer customized long-term maintenance plans tailored to help you sustain and build on your results for lasting success
No. There are no food restrictions, but eating a healthy diet will make you feel better and get improved results on the program. Lower carb (50-100 gm) and higher protein diet. Add 150 min of exercise/week. Includes just walking 30 min/day. The medication helps reduce cravings for sugar and alcohol, both of which increase results.
