Weight Loss Injections
Ozempic, Wegovy & Mounjaro
Struggling to lose weight? If you’re looking to lose a few pounds, a simple weekly weight loss injection may be the solution you’re looking for.
Gaining popularity over the last year, weight loss injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro are well known for their incredible results. In just a matter of weeks, most people will lose a noticeable amount of weight.
Studies have shown people on Ozempic lose at least 5% of their body weight and about a third will lose 10% or more. A simple browse on social media throws up dozens of celebrities who have transformed their look using these injections in just a few months.
How do they work?
The active ingredient, semaglutide, works by suppressing your appetite – essentially, these injections slow down your digestive processes, keeping you feeling full for longer and delaying your hunger hormones from being activated. All of this results in you eating less.
Ozempic and similar drugs were originally developed for use by Diabetics and so they also work to balance the way your body processes sugar.

It is important to note, weight loss injections are not for everyone and do come with their own risks. Your suitability needs to be assessed by a qualified professional.
Here at The Practice Poly Clinic, we take the time to consult with you to determine where your health currently stands. This involves evaluating your current lifestyle, nutrition, exercise habits and basic blood tests checking your lipid function, risk of diabetes, and conducting a vitamin panel. This will give us a baseline to work from when evaluating the results of your weight loss injections.
