GLP-1 weight loss in Westchester: cost & what to know
A physician's guide to medical weight-loss pricing, semaglutide vs. tirzepatide, the muscle-loss problem nobody warns you about, and where to start near Scarsdale — updated for 2026.
Short answer
At Rescu Wellness in Scarsdale, semaglutide is $499/month and tirzepatide is $799/month, both including physician oversight. Tirzepatide acts on two hormone pathways and is often associated with greater weight loss. Rescu pairs medication with Emsculpt Neo to rebuild muscle lost during rapid weight loss. The program is prescribed and monitored by Dr. Randy Taylor, a board-certified physician who owns the practice.
How much does a GLP-1 weight-loss program cost?
At Rescu Wellness, medical weight loss is priced transparently and includes physician oversight:
| Medication | What it targets | Price |
|---|
| Semaglutide | GLP-1 pathway | $499 / month |
| Tirzepatide | GLP-1 + GIP pathways | $799 / month |
Both prices include Dr. Taylor's review of your history, your starting dose, and ongoing dose adjustment and check-ins. There's no hidden membership lock-in. See the full GLP-1 & peptides page.
Semaglutide vs. tirzepatide: which is right?
Both are GLP-1-based medications that reduce appetite and support weight loss. The practical difference:
- Semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 pathway. It's the more established, lower-cost option.
- Tirzepatide acts on two gut-hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP) and is often associated with greater average weight loss, which is reflected in the higher price.
Dr. Taylor recommends the right medication for your goals and medical history at intake — this is a physician decision, not a menu pick.
Will I lose muscle on a GLP-1 medication?
Muscle loss and skin looseness are real risks with rapid GLP-1 weight loss, and addressing them is central to how Rescu runs the program rather than an afterthought. Your medication is paired with Emsculpt Neo to rebuild muscle and VanquishME to support body contouring, so you lose fat without losing tone. Because everything runs under one physician, the medication and the body-composition support are coordinated as a single plan.
Is a GLP-1 program safe, and who supervises it?
Your program is prescribed and monitored throughout by Dr. Randy Taylor, a Columbia-trained, board-certified emergency physician who owns and operates the practice. Medical supervision means careful dose titration, side-effect management and regular check-ins — not a prescription mailed from an anonymous website. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal (nausea, reduced appetite) and are usually managed by starting low and going slow.
