Weight Loss Injections

Weight loss injections are a medical aid designed to assist individuals who are struggling with weight management. These injections typically contain compounds that mimic naturally occurring hormones in your body, helping to regulate appetite, improve insulin sensitivity, and promote fat breakdown.

The most common type of weight loss injection includes GP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide), which work by slowing digestion, reducing hunger, and helping you feel full longer. When combined with lifestyle changes, these injections can lead to significant and sustained weight loss.

Weight loss injections may be suitable for you if:

• You have BMI over 27 with associated health risks (e.g. high blood pressure, insulin resistnace)
• You have a BMI over 30 and have not had success with diet or exercise alone
• You are looking for medically guided support in your weight loss journey
• You want to improve your overall metabolic health under professional supervision

Before starting treatment, you will undergo a detailed consultation and health screening to ensure the injections are safe and appropriate for your specific needs.

How Do The Injections Work?

Once prescribed, the injections are typically administered weekly—either in our clinic or at home, depending on the medcation and your preference.

These medications work by:

• Slowing down gastric emptying (so you feel fuller for longer)
• Suppressing appetite and reducing food cravings
• Enhancing insulin function to stabilise blood sugar levels
• Supporting gradual, consistent fat loss without muscle wasting

Each patient is closely monitored, and the dosage may be adjusted over time to maintain effectiveness while minimising side effects.
