Weight loss at About Face Medspa & Wellness begins with a conversation–not about where you’ve been–but about where you are wanting to go.
Our About Face Weight Loss Nurse, Renee Shelley, has worked in weight loss for almost 20 years–much of that with Sue Cressel. Renee will ask for a medical history, obtain current weight and vitals and discuss plan options. Then, you’ll be seen by a Nurse Practitioner who will discuss your options, listen to your heart; and if you are a candidate for a prescriptive weight loss plan, prescribe an appropriate medication.
This all occurs in a friendly, supportive environment. See our prices and services below.

Semaglutide, also known as Ozempic or Wegovy, is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) receptor antagonist that supports glucose metabolism by helping the pancreas release an optimal amount of insulin. It can help manage blood sugar, reduce weight, improve cholesterol levels and support cardiac health. Semaglutide (GLP-1) was prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes by improving glycemic control with patients. This therapy proved itself to be an excellent option for patients that had challenges losing weight.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- After I leave your office, how should I store my Semaglutide? Answer: Semaglutide should be refrigerated (not frozen).
- There is a dimple in the center of the vial. Does that mean the Semaglutide has been used?Answer: Those taking a vial of Semaglutide are receiving sealed, fresh bottles that have not been used. The “dimple” indicates the best place for the needle to be inserted.
- My vial is not full. What is wrong? Answer: Nothing. You are purchasing two milileters of the Semaglutide medication. It takes up about 1/3 of the sealed vial. It has not been opened nor has it been used.
- May I return the medication should it not work as I’d hoped or if I break the vial. Answer: No—this is a prescriptive medication and cannot be returned or refunded.
