What is the refund policy?BOLD. hydration offers goods and services that are irrevocable. Therefore, we do not issue refunds for any product or service that has been injected or used in your treatment. In consenting to be treated, it is important that clients understand and accept this condition.
-
How does semaglutide work?Semaglutide works by mimicking the effect of a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite. Semaglutide stimulates the release of insulin when blood sugar levels are high and delays stomach emptying, which can lead to a feeling of fullness and reduced food intake. Research has shown that individuals taking Semaglutide as part of a weight loss program can lose up to 15% of their body weight.
-
Why is the medication cheaper at BOLD. hydration compared to my pharmacy?We utilize a compounding pharmacy to prepare a compounded, generic form of the weight loss medication. Compounded medicines are customized medications that are prepared to meet the needs of an individual patient. At BOLD. hydration, we are committed to providing high-quality healthcare services. All of our partner pharmacies are licensed by the FDA and regulated by state boards of pharmacy. They follow rigorous USP standards for sterile compounding, and their products are tested before they are released to ensure safety and efficacy.
-
How often do I take this medication?Semaglutide is typically administered through a once-weekly injection. The medication follows a titration schedule to allow for individualized adjustments based on your response and tolerance to the medication. This approach ensures that the dosage is tailored to your specific needs, maximizing the benefits of the weight loss program while minimizing potential side effects.
-
Can I continue the medication after the 10-week program?Yes! After completing the initial 10-week weight loss program, you have the option to continue taking the medication. We understand that ongoing support is crucial for maintaining your wellness goals. At this point, you will transition to a pay-per-vial model, allowing flexibility in the duration and continuation of the medication based on individual needs. Our team will work closely with you to ensure a seamless and personalized experience, supporting your long-term success in achieving and maintaining your desired weight.
-
Why does BOLD. hydration require laboratory work prior to starting the program?We require standard blood work before starting medication. You should complete these before your consultation. After competing the online medical intact form and submitting payment for the nonrefundable deposit, you will receive a laboratory kit in the mail from our partnered diagnostic laboratory. You can then complete these labs at any location listed on the paperwork inside of the kit. As the initial laboratory testing is included in the program's cost, a phlebotomy fee from the facility may apply and will be the client's responsibility. Required laboratory tests include: CBC - Complete Blood Cell Count CMP - Complete Metabolic Panel Thyroid Panel Hemoglobin A1c Fasting Lipid Panel Fasting Insulin

On the day of your scheduled appointment, our BOLD. hydration nurse will be in contact with you to confirm place/location. Upon arriving, the nurse will set up their equipment and obtain a set of vital signs. The nurse will place your sterile IV, begin your IV infusion, and administer any additional vitamins or medications that may be part of your treatment. When the infusion is finished, the nurse will carefully remove your IV, give personalized and specific discharge education, collect payment, and leave so that you are able to continue your day!
