About the treatment
What is Medical Weight Management?
A structured programme for steady, supervised weight loss. It starts with a consultation and blood tests, so the plan is built around your health, not a fixed diet.
Where suitable, your doctor may prescribe a weekly injectable medicine that reduces appetite. You're reviewed regularly, with measurements tracked and the plan adjusted as you go.

FAQ
Medical Weight Management: your questions
Will I definitely be given an injection?
No. Medicines are prescribed only after a doctor's assessment and your informed consent, and only if they are right for you.
Is this the same as fat reduction?
No. Fat reduction treats specific areas and doesn't change your weight. This programme is for overall weight loss.
