Wegovy for Teens (Ages 12+) in Kansas City

Safe, Medically Supervised Weight Loss for Adolescents

If your teen is struggling with weight despite healthy eating and activity, you’re not alone—and it’s not your fault.

At Lumavita Health, we offer medically supervised weight loss programs for teens ages 12 and up, including FDA-approved treatment with Wegovy (semaglutide). Our goal is to help your teen achieve better health in a safe, supportive, and sustainable way.

What Is Wegovy and How Does It Help Teens?

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a once-weekly injection that helps regulate appetite and improve how the body processes hunger signals.

It works by:

  • Reducing constant hunger

  • Helping your teen feel full sooner

  • Supporting healthier portion control

For many teens, this makes it easier to build lasting habits without feeling deprived.

Is Wegovy Safe for Teens?

Yes—Wegovy is FDA-approved for adolescents ages 12 and older with obesity.

At Lumavita Health, every treatment plan is:

  • Prescribed by licensed medical providers

  • Carefully monitored for safety and progress

  • Personalized to your teen’s unique needs

We take a health-first, not appearance-first approach, focusing on long-term well-being.

Who Qualifies for Wegovy?

Your teen may be a candidate if they:

  • Are age 12 or older

  • Have a BMI in the obesity range (95th percentile or higher)

  • Have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone

  • May have related conditions like insulin resistance or sleep concerns
