Losing weight is more than just eating less and exercising more for many people. Sometimes there is hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance or an upset sense of hunger that makes losing weight difficult. Medical weight loss with Injections can then be a supportive option. But what exactly does it involve? And what can you expect from such a course? In this blog we explain it clearly.
The injections, how do they work?
One of our remedies that we offer is Ozempic. This is a medication with the active ingredient semaglutide. It belongs to the group of GLP-1 receptor agonists. Originally developed for people with type 2 diabetes, it is also used for medically supervised weight loss.
It works in three main ways:
- It reduces the feeling of hunger
- It makes you feel satiated faster
- It slows stomach emptying, making you full longer
This automatically makes you eat less, without constantly feeling like you are “on a diet.”
Who is Medical Weight Loss with Injections suitable for?
Medical weight loss with Injectables is intended for people with:
- Overweight (BMI ≥ 27 with additional risk factors)
- Obesity (BMI ≥ 30).
- Difficulty losing weight despite healthy lifestyle
- Emotion eating or strong urge to eat
At Aepril Clinics, we always look at the big picture: medical history, lifestyle, hormonal factors and your personal goals. It’s not a quick fix, but a medically supervised journey.
What does a medical course consist of?
A Medical Weight Loss program at Aepril Clinics consists of several components:
- Intake and medical screening
- Discuss expectations and achievable goals
- Explanation of action, dosage and possible side effects
- Periodic checks
- Lifestyle advice to support
The injection is administered subcutaneously with a pen once a week. Many clients experience reduced appetite within a few weeks.
As with any medication, side effects can occur. The most common are:
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Reduced appetite
- Occasional mild intestinal discomfort
These symptoms are usually temporary and diminish with proper dosage build-up. Therefore, medical supervision is essential.
A conscious investment in yourself
On average, people lose 5-15% of their body weight in a few months, depending on effort, starting weight and lifestyle. The drug supports, but does not replace, healthy diet and exercise.
Medical weight loss with Ozempic is not a crash diet, but a medically supported approach for people who are structurally stuck. It can provide peace of mind around eating and help break a vicious cycle.
Do you doubt whether this suits you? During a no-obligation consultation, we will discuss your situation and give honest advice.
Important to know: once you stop without lifestyle change, some of the weight may return. That’s why we focus not just on pounds, but on sustainable behavior change.
