Medical Weight Loss Treatments Offered in Pasadena
When clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss prescription weight loss medication options, including compounded medications when appropriate and available.
Weight Loss Injections
- Compounded Semaglutide (GLP-1) — Starting at $66/month
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 medication that may help reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, support blood sugar regulation, and promote weight loss when combined with nutrition, lifestyle changes, and medical monitoring. Some compounded formulations may include vitamin B12. Your provider will review whether this option is appropriate based on your medical history, current medications, cardiovascular risk factors, and treatment goals. - Compounded Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP) — Starting at $150/month
Tirzepatide works on GLP-1 and GIP pathways involved in appetite and blood sugar regulation. It may support weight loss when used as part of a medically supervised plan that includes nutrition guidance, lifestyle changes, and follow-up care. Some compounded formulations may include vitamin B12. Your provider will determine whether tirzepatide is appropriate for your health needs.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. They should only be prescribed by a licensed medical provider and obtained from an appropriate pharmacy. The FDA has also warned about risks related to unapproved and fraudulent compounded GLP-1 products, making medical supervision and appropriate pharmacy sourcing important.

Who Is a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss may be appropriate for adults who:
- Have a BMI of 30 or greater
- Have a BMI of 27 or greater with a weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea
- Have struggled to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone
- Want a medically supervised approach to weight management
- Have cardiovascular risk factors that may improve with weight loss
Current obesity medication guidance commonly uses BMI of 30 or greater, or BMI of 27 or greater with an obesity-related condition, as eligibility criteria for anti-obesity medication consideration.
Because obesity is closely linked to cardiovascular disease, some patients may benefit from a heart-focused approach to weight management. Your provider will determine whether medication, lifestyle support, or another treatment approach is appropriate for your health needs.
Safety and Ongoing Medical Monitoring
Your care may include:
- Comprehensive medical evaluation
- Cardiovascular risk assessment
- Review of medications and health history
- Monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and possible side effects
- Routine follow-up visits to review progress and adjust your plan when needed

Medical Weight Loss FAQs
Most patients do not need a referral to schedule a medical weight loss consultation, but referral requirements may vary by insurance plan. Check with your insurance provider if you are unsure.
Weight loss may help improve several cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar control, and inflammation. Your provider can help determine how weight loss fits into your broader heart health plan.
Follow-up timing depends on your treatment plan, medication use, progress, and any side effects. Many patients have regular check-ins so their provider can monitor results, review labs when needed, and adjust care safely.
No. Weight loss injections are not required for every patient. Your provider may recommend lifestyle changes, nutrition support, medication, or a combination of approaches depending on your medical history, goals, and overall health.
There is no single best weight loss injection for every patient. Options such as semaglutide and tirzepatide may be helpful for some patients, but the right choice depends on your medical history, medications, cardiovascular health, weight loss goals, and side effect risk.
