FAQ’s
How does South Beach Weight Loss work?
For eligible patients, choose between weight loss medications semaglutide or tirzepatide. Semaglutide is the FDA-approved active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®, and tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Zepbound™ & Mounjaro®. Both work by mimicking a natural hormone that targets a region of the brain that affects hunger and appetite. It also affects how fast food moves through your GI tract. So, patients taking these have less hunger and cravings. As a result, they eat less and lose weight!
How much does South Beach Weight Loss cost?
Price is determined by which medication that you choose. Prices include the cost of medication, your personalized telehealth consultation, and all injection supplies needed. You do not need insurance.
How do I take my weight loss medication?
Both the semaglutide and tirzepatide require a once-per-week self-administered injection. Your home-delivery will include syringes topped with a super-thin needle and instructions. There are also numerous videos on YouTube demonstrating how easy this is…
How much weight can I lose?
