Weight-loss injections have gained popularity as a convenient solution for shedding excess weight. However, without proper medical guidance, these medications can pose serious health risks and lead to poor outcomes.
At GV Weight Loss Clinic in London, we offer a better approach—supervised weight-loss injections under the expert care of Mr. George Vasilikostas, a Bariatric Surgeon and medical weight loss specialist with over 25 years of experience. Our medically led program ensures that every treatment is not only safe, but also truly effective and tailored to each individual’s needs.
The Dangers of Unsupervised Weight-Loss Injections
While it may be tempting to seek prescription weight-loss injections online or through unverified sources, doing so comes with real dangers. Without medical oversight, you risk:
- Taking the wrong dosage or medication
- Ignoring critical health conditions that could be worsened by treatment
- Experiencing unnecessary side effects like nausea, dehydration, or gallbladder issues
- Receiving counterfeit or unregulated products
- Failing to make necessary lifestyle changes to support lasting weight loss
At GV Clinic, we avoid these risks by providing fully doctor-supervised weight-loss care from day one.
Why Supervision Matters: Safety, Customisation, and Results
Medical weight-loss injections like Saxenda® (liraglutide), Ozempic® (semaglutide), Wegovy® (semaglutide) and Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) are designed to help patients reduce appetite, regulate blood sugar, and support fat loss. But these powerful medications must be carefully managed.
With doctor-supervised weight-loss injections, you benefit from:
- A full medical evaluation and consultation
- Lab testing and physical exams to ensure eligibility
- Personalized dosing schedules that adapt over time
- Ongoing monitoring and dose adjustments
- Guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle habits
Most importantly, you gain a partner in your weight loss journey—one who is committed to your safety and long-term success.
Who Are These Injections For?
Weight-loss injections are ideal for adults who:
- Have a BMI of 30 or higher, or
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, or prediabetes
- Have struggled to lose weight through traditional diet and exercise methods
- Are committed to making sustainable changes to their eating and activity habits
During your consultation, Mr. Vasilikostas will determine if you’re a candidate and create a treatment plan that aligns with your medical history, lifestyle, and goals.
When Other Options May Be Needed
Although non-surgical weight-loss solutions like injections work well for many, they aren’t always the best path for everyone. For patients with severe obesity or metabolic challenges, surgical options such as gastric balloons or endoscopic sleeve procedures may offer better long-term outcomes.
At GV Weight Loss Clinic, we provide honest, expert guidance. If weight-loss injections aren’t right for you, we’ll help you explore other options that may be more effective.
