Our Semaglutide for Weight Loss Program in Austin is one of our most popular weight loss programs, and it’s easy to tell why. It doesn’t require a highly restrictive diet or strenuous workouts—but still delivers results! If you stick to the program, you can expect to lose an average of one to three pounds per week without drastically changing your diet.
Semaglutide is an FDA-approved injection medication that’s been proven to help overweight adults lose weight and keep it off. By mimicking Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body, Semaglutide can increase insulin secretion and slow down gastric emptying—or, how fast your stomach empties food. This can suppress your appetite—so you feel full longer—helping you eat less and lose weight in the process.
Visit our weight loss clinic in Austin for an initial exam and weigh-in. After a quick assessment to determine if Semaglutide is right for you, you’ll receive a prescription supply of Semaglutide that will last you 4 weeks. We’ll also provide all the materials and information you need to get started with your new weight-loss program.
After your initial consultation, you can start taking Semaglutide injections either at home or at the Blue Tree office. If you’re interested, we can also recommend a low-calorie diet to speed up the rate at which you lose weight, as well as other supplementary products to boost your results.
Once the program is over, we’ll provide a custom-made maintenance plan designed just for you. We can also provide (completely optional) lipoden injections and guidance to enhance your weight-loss performance, and keep the weight off for good.
Lipoden Injections
Optional Lipoden Injections will be administered to help accelerate weight loss. Lipoden can accelerate weight loss with an additional 1/2-1lb/week on average.

Not exactly. While a reduced-calorie meal plan can certainly help increase the rate at which you lose weight (and help you keep it off), dieting is not required to lose weight on the program.
If you want to lose more weight faster, we can suggest a low calorie diet for you to follow that’s guaranteed to make weight loss easier by increasing the number of calories you burn each day.
