FDA-approved products that contain these active ingredients (such as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, and Rybelsus® for Semaglutide; and Saxenda® for Liraglutide) have been reviewed and approved by the FDA for specific medical uses. When prescribed in compounded form, these medications are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness, or quality of compounded drugs. At Gloss Aesthetics, compounded versions are used only when an FDA-approved product is unavailable or clinically unsuitable for a specific patient. All compounded prescriptions are prepared by state-licensed compounding pharmacies and prescribed under professional medical supervision with close patient monitoring.

Liraglutide is a once-daily medication within the GLP-1 family. It helps support healthy appetite regulation and digestion, working best when paired with lifestyle and nutritional changes under professional guidance.
