What is Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss is a clinically supervised program designed to help individuals achieve significant and lasting weight loss through safe and effective treatments. At Rejuvelife Health and Wellness, our medical weight loss program in Baltimore, Annapolis, and DC utilizes medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide (the active ingredients in Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda, Mounjaro, and Zepbound) to target the root causes of obesity, including hormone imbalances and insulin resistance. These treatments are combined with personalized wellness plans that include lifestyle education, nutrition guidance, and ongoing support. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, our approach is clinically proven to help you lose weight and keep it off long-term. With Rejuvelife’s medical weight loss solutions, you can finally achieve your health goals and enjoy a healthier, happier life.
How does Medical Weight Loss Work?
Weekly Injection
Our treatment begins with an initial health review to assess your needs, followed by weekly injections of semaglutide or tirzepatide along with regular monitoring of your weight loss progress. If you hit a plateau, we adjust your plan to ensure you keep moving toward your goals, providing continuous support every step of the way.
Slows Digestion
Semaglutide and tirzepatide work by slowing down the rate at which your stomach empties, helping you feel full for a longer period after eating. This extended feeling of fullness naturally reduces your hunger, making it easier to control your food intake throughout the day. As a result, you’re less likely to overeat, which supports steady and sustainable weight loss.
Reduces Blood Sugar
Semaglutide and tirzepatide act like a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, helping your pancreas release the right amount of insulin when your blood sugar is high. This insulin then moves sugar from your blood into your body’s tissues, where it can be used for energy, helping to keep your blood sugar levels steady and support weight loss.
Stops Cravings
By targeting the hormones that control hunger, semaglutide and tirzepatide effectively reduce food cravings, making it easier to resist unhealthy snacks and overeating. They also help balance these hunger hormones, which can minimize the anxiety and stress often associated with constant thoughts about food. You’ll feel more in control of your eating habits.

Common Questions about Medical Weight Loss
How long does the weight loss last?
Once a patient hits their weight goals, the weight loss achieved can be long-lasting with lifestyle changes and ongoing maintenance treatments. By addressing the underlying factors that contribute to weight gain, these medications help you maintain your progress and sustain a healthier weight over time.
How much weight can I lose?
Our patients see a 5% weight loss within the first four weeks and 10% within 8 weeks. Some patients may lose more than 20% of their body weight along with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Individual results can vary, and at Rejuvelife Health and Wellness, we will tailor your treatment to achieve the best possible outcome.
Is semaglutide and tirzepatide safe?
We exclusively use semaglutide and tirzepatide medications that are compounded by FDA-regulated pharmacies adhering to the highest safety standards established by the United States Pharmacopeial Convention. Both medications are safe but may not be suitable for people with certain conditions such as pancreatitis. Please contact us for more information.
How soon can I see results?
Many patients begin to see noticeable weight loss within the first week or two of starting semaglutide or tirzepatide treatment. However, significant results typically become more evident after a few months, as the medication continues to regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and improve metabolic function. Individual results can vary, but consistent progress is generally seen with ongoing treatment and lifestyle changes.
How much does it cost?
For safety reasons, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to start and monitor your treatment. Our initial consultation is $50. Weekly injections start lower than $100/week, and patients typically average $145/week once they are in the program.
Can I give myself the injections?
Yes. After proper training from one of our staff members, you can self-administer your injections, which can be done at home. You can pick up your medication in our office, or we can have it shipped directly to you. We encourage you to have a regular check-up with our practitioners to make sure you are reaching your goals safely and effectively.

Pricing

While averages are included below, pricing will vary depending on your treatment plan. Pricing will be discounted if patients chose to self-inject and have their medication delivered to their home.
All new patients will incure a $50 one time initial consultation fee.
Average patient: $106/week
Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) mimics the action of the natural GLP-1 hormone in the body and primarily focuses on improving blood sugar control and reducing appetite.
Typically, patients new to this drug will start with a .25 mg dosage at the rate of $83/week. As your dosage increases, so will cost of the medication. Most of our patients are on 1mg at a rate of $106/week or 2mg at $139/week.
Semaglutide
Average patient: $122/week
Tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro) activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors which helps lower blood sugar levels and decrease appetite. While tirzepatide is slightly more costly, it has significantly better weight loss percentages compared to semaglutide and far fewer side effects.
Typically, patients new to this drug will start with a 2.5 mg dosage at the rate of $95/week. As your dosage increases, so will cost of the medication. Most of our patients are on 5mg at a rate of $122/week or 7.5 mg at $152/week.
