GLP-1 receptor agonists (Semiglutide, tirzepatide)

GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) are medications that help regulate blood sugar and appetite.

Ozempic is a brand-name medication that contains the active ingredient semaglutide. It belongs to the GLP-1 receptor agonist class and works by mimicking a natural gut hormone to help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and reduce overall food intake.

Tirzepatide is a newer medication that acts on both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. This dual action can enhance blood sugar control and may lead to greater reductions in appetite and body weight. It similarly slows gastric emptying and helps improve feelings of fullness after eating.

Benefits of Semiglutide/ Tirzepatide

  • Helps to suppress and regulate appetite

  • Boosts metabolism, metabolic rate, and energy expenditure

  • Supports sustainable weight loss long-term

  • Improves blood sugar control

  • Enhances overall health and well-being

FAQs About Physician-Led GLP-1s & Weight Management at PCD

How is physician-led weight management at PCD different from online subscription services?

Online GLP-1 subscription platforms often rely on automated intake forms, high provider turnover, and generic treatment protocols with little to no ongoing medical monitoring. At PCD, your care is supervised by Dr. Shaheen Khosla, a board-certified physician. We provide comprehensive in-person evaluations, personalized dosing adjustments, and ongoing metabolic monitoring—ensuring your weight loss is safe, sustainable, and tailored to your body’s specific biology rather than a one-size-fits-all algorithm. Read our blog post about the importance of working with a physician when using GLP-1 medications.

What is included in a GLP-1 medical weight loss consultation?

During your initial consultation, we conduct a thorough review of your medical history, metabolic health, lifestyle factors, and long-term goals. If GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you, we design a customized management plan that integrates medical oversight with nutritional guidance, targeted peptide therapy, and wellness support.

How long will I need to be on a GLP-1 weight management program?

Treatment duration depends entirely on your unique health profile, metabolic response, and personal goals. At PCD we focus on long-term sustainability, working closely with you to adjust dosages over time and integrate supportive nutrition and peptide strategies that help maintain your results.

How do GLP-1 weight loss therapies impact my skin and facial structure?

Rapid or significant weight loss can sometimes lead to a loss of facial volume, structural skin laxity, or a dull complexion. Because PCD is an integrative dermatology and wellness practice, we are able to monitor your skin health throughout your weight loss journey. We can proactively pair your metabolic program with clinical nutrition, targeted peptide support, and advanced skin-rejuvenation options to preserve facial architecture as you lose weight.

What are nutrient and peptide injections and how do they support medical weight loss?

Peptides are specific chains of amino acids that act as cellular signaling molecules in the body. When paired with GLP-1 weight management, targeted peptide therapies can help optimize tissue repair, preserve lean muscle mass, support energy levels, and enhance metabolic function. Your care team will evaluate whether adding peptides or nutrient injections will help optimize your overall progress.

    “Over the years, I’ve seen a remarkable transformation in my skin under her care. What sets Dr. Khosla apart is her genuine concern for her patients’ well-being. She never pushes unnecessary treatments, always takes the time to address any questions or concerns, and her treatments consistently deliver visible results.”

    What sets Dr. Khosla apart is her exceptional bedside manner. I never felt rushed during my appointments, and she answered all of my questions with care. The treatments I received were highly effective, and I saw noticeable improvements. My friends and family all comment on my glowing skin. Who doesn’t like hearing that?
    The new office in Menlo Park is clean, modern, and stylish. The staff is friendly and professional. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Khosla to anyone in need of dermatologist!”

    Dr. Khosla is the only Dr. I trust to do botox, PRP, or anything else that has to do with my face / hair.

    “I’m so pleased with my results and the treatments that I’ve had done.   Her and the entire staff is highly qualified and treats you so well the moment you walk in their door.   She gives you the information of what to expect, she’s incredibly knowledgable about what works and what doesn’t.  It’s quick, painless, and it ends up being fun too.   It’s really hard to find someone that is this amazing, and I drive a long way just to see her!!!! Hands down, I HIGHLY recommend her.”

    My experience with Pacific Coast Dermatology & Wellness Center has been fantastic.

    “Their services, products, expertise, and customer service are top notch. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism is far superior to that of other clinics in my opinion. I tried PCD because my last visit at another clinic was negative, leaving me with embarrassing facial bruising from botox and filler injections. Not the case at PCD. Dr. Khosla’s technique was painless, and within a few days I was left with remarkable results. It’s obvious that she cares deeply about her patients and goes the extra mile to ensure satisfaction. Their overall approach to wellness is evident with the treatments that they offer. While I was there, I decided to try their customized IV vitamin procedure and I instantly felt a feeling of well-being. I had no idea what to expect and I was amazed. I have recommended PCD to my friends and family and I will definitely be a regular client.”
