Weight Loss Support Injections
Weight Loss Support Injections
Weight loss support injections are a prescription-only treatment designed to aid fat loss in individuals struggling with weight management.
These injections help regulate appetite and improve the way your body responds to food by mimicking a natural hormone that targets areas in the brain responsible for hunger. With professional support, these injections can be used as part of a medical weight loss programme alongside healthy lifestyle changes to help you feel more in control and supported.
This is a prescription-only treatment and is only available following a full medical consultation.
At Skin Within, we offer a range of weight loss support injections. Your clinician will guide you in selecting the most suitable brand based on your individual needs and goals.
At Skin Within Aesthetics, we take a medical and personalised approach to weight management. Your consultation includes a detailed medical assessment and a discussion around your goals, lifestyle and previous experience with weight loss.
Only if medically appropriate, a bespoke treatment plan will be prescribed. Your safety, understanding, and confidence are our top priority, and every element of your treatment will be discussed in detail.
