Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication used to help control blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes, but studies suggest that it may also help people without diabetes lose weight. Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, which mimic the hormone GLP-1 in your body to lower blood sugar levels after you’ve eaten a meal. GLP-1 inhibits glucagon release (which slows down the release of sugar into the blood so that you burn more fat), slows down gastric emptying (makes you feel full), and lowers the desire for food intake (because you feel full).
- Injections are once a week and paired with diet and exercise
- Monthly injections begin at a low dose and gradually build up to weight loss proportions
- Studies show that weight loss equals 10-15% body weight
Semaglutide is not recommended for patients with Type 1 diabetes

How We Source Our Semaglutide
Many people may have questions about the origin of our Semaglutide medication. Tuscan Sun Fontana Medspa sources our Semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. When medications go on a shortage list, compounding pharmacies are able to compound all of the ingredients that consumers specifically need into medication.
I have been and always will be concerned with the quality of the compounding pharmacies that we conduct business with. I make sure that our compounding pharmacy not only has a third-party lab inspection, but it is also inspected monthly by the Board of Pharmacy (of its respective state). Right now, Semaglutide can be compounded, and we would like all current & prospective patients to know that when the medication goes to a third-party lab, it is tested for purity, pH, and other levels before it is shipped to us. Please keep in mind that sometimes there can be a delay (due to a backup of the third-party lab for testing purposes), but you can be assured we will not accept any medication until it has been fully inspected.
Please also know that our medical team of doctors and nurse practitioners can prescribe name brand weight loss medications, if so desired. One of the pros of compounded prescriptions is that they can be more affordable than name-brand medications because many insurances will not pay for weight loss medications. Another advantage of compounded prescriptions is that they are usually readily available to take home the same day.
At Tuscan Sun Fontana Medspa, we can assure you that we take all precautions and verify that our medications are tested before we offer them to our patients.
Ideal Protein
Currently available in our West Virginia locations
Ideal Protein is a medically designed, partial meal replacement protocol with three phases that consist of weight loss, stabilization, and maintenance.
Maintaining a stable weight after dieting often requires changes to your lifestyle habits. This is why Ideal Protein strongly emphasizes education and understanding. You must learn to eat “smarter” or risk regaining your lost weight. Therefore, when you begin our program you will have a personal weight loss coach. Your coach will assist you through each of the three phases of the Ideal Protein Weight Loss protocol. In Phase 1 your coach will help you set your weight loss goals and support you on that journey. In Phases 2 and 3, your coach will shift focus to weight stabilization and post-diet living, teaching you weight maintenance habits that may assist you in keeping the excess pounds off after dieting. You will learn:
- How your body fat is burned,
- The relationship between insulin and weight gain,
- Which foods are best suited for healthy weight management,
- When, why and in what combination to eat carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and more
Phentermine
Phentermine is the most popular weight loss pill in the USA. It works by stimulating the hypothalamus gland and affecting certain neurotransmitters to decrease appetite. Like other diet pills, it works best when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Phentermine Client Testimonial
“I have been working with Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon for seven months now. When I started the weight loss program, I weighed 300 pounds. Today, I weight less than 200 pounds! While there were many options to choose from, I decided to go with Phentermine and a strict diet plan – a combination that has proven to be extremely effective. With just one pill a day, I have achieved my original goal of reaching 200 pounds. Now, I have my eyes set on new heights! This program has truly changed my life. If you follow the program and listen to their advice, you too will see results. I know I certainly have!”
