People are tired of the "eat less, move more" cycle. For many, it hasn't delivered. Medical weight loss is a biological intervention—a way to finally silence the "food noise" that makes healthy choices feel like an uphill battle. The experienced team at Kucumber Skin Lounge provides the hormonal support your body needs to stop fighting against persistent hunger, allowing your metabolism to actually work with you rather than against you.

What is Medical Weight Loss?


Medical weight loss in Seattle at Kucumber Skin Lounge uses FDA-approved medications to help stabilize appetite and insulin. These weight loss prescriptions mimic the hormones your gut naturally produces to signal fullness, making sustainable weight loss a realistic goal under the eyes of a medical team. This is a minimally invasive path that bypasses the risks of weight loss surgery to address the biological root causes of weight gain.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone that tells your brain when you are full. By slowing down how fast your stomach empties, this weight loss medication helps you naturally cut back on portions. It has become a highly effective weight loss tool for those who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide hits two different receptors: GLP-1 and GIP. This dual action gives the body a stronger signal for appetite control and blood sugar regulation. Many patients find they lose more weight with Tirzepatide because it offers a more complete metabolic shift than single-receptor drugs.

What Are the Benefits of Medical Weight Loss?

Our weight loss programs are designed to improve your systemic health, not just the number on the scale.

  • Successful Weight Loss: You receive a recommended dosage plan and medical monitoring to ensure healthy weight loss.
  • Metabolic Support: These different medications are excellent for improving insulin sensitivity.
  • Healthier Habits: Quieting hunger cravings makes it much easier to stick to your weight loss plan and improve eating habits.
  • Other Benefits: Patients frequently report less joint pain, better energy, and a higher quality of life.

Am I a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss Treatment?

A good candidate is typically someone with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 if they also have medical conditions linked to their weight.

Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

During your initial consultation, we do a deep dive into your medical history to see which medication fits your biology. We look at your diet, current activity, and goals to build an individualized approach. This personalized care ensures that we track exactly how your body responds so you see optimal results.

Who is Not a Candidate

I will turn away patients if there is a family or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. We also cannot treat anyone who is currently pregnant or breastfeeding. This program isn't a fit for those with severe gastrointestinal problems, such as gastroparesis.

Your Medical Weight Loss Treatment

The actual procedure is a simple subcutaneous injection handled by our medical team or set up via semaglutide delivery for home use. To be honest about the sensation: it’s a quick, sharp pinch that is over in a second. We use very fine needles, so most patients find the discomfort is almost non-existent. Our nurse practitioner or physician assistant will walk you through everything so you stay on the right track if you're self-administering.

Recovery and Support

We provide the long-term support required to stay consistent. We use regular monthly check-ins to monitor how you are feeling and tweak your plan as needed. Through one-on-one counseling, we help you navigate a healthier lifestyle that actually lasts. To keep potential side effects low, we recommend drinking plenty of water and following your recommended dosage plan exactly.

Medical Weight Loss Results

Real weight loss takes time because your metabolism is relearning how to function. During the initial adjustment phase, don't be discouraged if the weight doesn't drop in week one. You will usually see a visible change within a few weeks, with significant weight loss appearing between months three and six. We provide monthly check-ins to help you maintain your best version of yourself long after the initial treatment phase.
