WEIGHT LOSS MANAGEMENT

Wegovy® Weight Loss Injections

Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription medication designed to help adults with obesity or overweight achieve and maintain weight loss. Recently approved by the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Wegovy works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite, helping you feel fuller and reducing cravings. Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly injection, making it a convenient option for those seeking sustainable weight loss.

How Does Wegovy Work?

Wegovy works by activating areas in the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake. By slowing gastric emptying and promoting a feeling of fullness, it helps reduce overall food consumption. This dual-action approach not only helps in reducing caloric intake but also aids in long-term weight management.

“I had struggled with my weight for years, trying countless diets and exercise plans with little success. Since starting Wegovy Weight Loss Injections I have seen incredible results. Within a few weeks I began to notice a significant difference in my appetite and overall weight. Wegovy has truly transformed my weight loss journey”

Ideal Candidates

Wegovy is suitable for adults aged 18 and older who meet the following criteria:

  • BMI of 30 or higher: This indicates obesity.
  • BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions: Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease.
  • Previous weight loss attempts: Candidates should have tried other weight loss methods without success.
  • Commitment to lifestyle changes: Patients must be willing to engage in dietary modifications and increased physical activity alongside medication use.

Wegovy offers several benefits for those struggling with weight management:

  • Appetite regulation: Helps control hunger and reduces cravings.
