Answers for Parents

Is medical weight loss safe for teens?

Yes, when supervised by board-certified specialists. Our program uses FDA-approved medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide which have been clinically proven safe and effective for adolescents ages 12+.

Is Tirzepatide safe for teens?

Yes — Tirzepatide (a type of GLP-1 medication) is FDA-approved for adolescents 12 years and older who meet certain medical criteria. At California Trim Clinic, every teen’s plan is reviewed by a licensed provider to ensure safety, appropriate dosage, and proper follow-up.

What’s the cost of GLP-1 treatment for my child?

Our teen GLP-1 treatment plans start at $199 for the first month, with no insurance required. This includes a full telehealth consultation, personalized care plan, and if eligible, your first shipment of medication. Ongoing care is billed monthly, with no long-term contracts.

What does the program include?

Each plan includes:

Weekly virtual check-ins
GLP-1 medication (if medically appropriate)
Family support + teen resources
Ongoing safety monitoring via CRM
Nutritional support through vitamins

Will this work if my child has tried other diets?

GLP-1 medications work differently. They support appetite regulation and insulin balance, which can help where typical diets fail. We often help teens who haven’t seen results with diet and exercise alone.

Do you accept insurance or offer payment plans?

Insurance does not currently cover our program, but we’ve kept pricing low to make care accessible. Cherry and Affirm financing is available through our page. You may also use HSA/FSA cards, and our team can help with Superbills if needed.

Can my teen join from anywhere in California, Arizona, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Washington, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, and Tennessee?

Yes — our telemedicine clinic is licensed to treat patients across California, Arizona, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Washington, Ohio, Georgia, Iowa, and Tennessee. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, New York City, Seattle, Columbus, or a smaller city, your teen can access care from the comfort of home.
