What are the weight loss injections?
Weight loss injections are prescription medications that, when combined with diet and exercise, can help with weight loss by suppressing hunger and reducing food cravings. At our clinic, we work with Eli Lilly's brand Mounjaro (Tirzepatide).
How do the weight loss injections work?
In the UK, a variety of prescription weight loss medications are available, each designed to aid individuals in their weight management journey. These medications primarily function by targeting specific receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. By doing so, they effectively diminish feelings of hunger and create a sense of fullness. Additionally, they may slow the movement of food through the digestive system, allowing for prolonged satisfaction after meals (Mounjaro). This dual mechanism not only helps curb your appetite but also supports healthier eating habits, making it easier to adhere to a weight loss program.
How often do I need to have these injections?
One injection a week is needed to achieve desired results. After starting the injections, the dose will need to be reviewed and adjusted in four weeks time. To maintain the results you will need to continue injecting one dose every week. There are 4 doses in one Mounjaro pen . We also provide x4 single use needles with every pen.
Can everybody have these injections?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for these injections. There are specific indications, contraindications, and potential side effects that must be considered. At Wight Aesthetic Clinic, we provide a thorough consultation with one of our doctors to discuss the benefits and risks associated with these injections. This will be a face to face consultation in out clinic in Newport city centre or, if preferred, online with a use of a web camera. Prior to the consultation we would ask you to fill a form online. If necessary, we can also demonstrate how to inject and supervise the first injection.
