Frequently Asked Questions

When we started this program, there were 8 FDA approved medications for weight loss. Ozempic is not one of them, and we do not use Ozempic. We do use a generic version of Semaglutide which is more concentrated but we do not use it in isolation. We do choose the medication with the least amount of side effect profile and the highest success rate. We choose your dosing appropriately. We also do not follow any regimented patterns but we have standard operating procedures for what we’ve designed.

There are several other practices out there that are simply hand out semaglutide and stimulants, so please be cautious. Samara MedSpa requires an annual physical with your whole health history on it, routine bloodwork, CBC, CMP, and TSH. I want to ensure that your liver and kidneys are healthy, your chronic conditions are managed, and I will review your medications, as all of these factors interact. Right from the start, if you do not have an annual physical, you are ineligible. If you do not have bloodwork you are excluded. If any of your blood work is abnormal expect to be sent back to your primary care and have it retested to make sure it is managed or controlled. Often, there is a story behind these abnormal levels, and in many cases, approval from your primary care provider is required before you can join the program.

The treatment plan depends on your skin type, the nature of the scar, and its age. We then select the appropriate technologies to break up the scar tissue, address any discoloration, and stimulate repair. Results may vary.

This is not volume-dependent. It is technique-dependent. 1 syringe the first time, maybe 1.2, but it depends on the size you want, the size you start with, what your anatomical concerns are, the challenges and we go from there. Results may vary.
