Weight-Loss Injections: How Do They Work?
Weight-loss injections are a safe and effective way to support your weight loss efforts. These medications work by:
- Suppressing Appetite: Helping you feel fuller for longer periods and reducing cravings.
- Improving Metabolic Function: Enhancing the body’s ability to burn calories efficiently.
- Regulating Blood Sugar Levels: Stabilizing insulin and glucose levels, which can aid in weight loss.
The injections are often used alongside a tailored diet and exercise program, maximizing their effectiveness as part of a holistic weight management plan.
The Benefit ofWeight-Loss Injectionsat GV Clinic London
At the GV Weight Loss clinic, we offer Saxenda (Liraglutide) and Ozempic for injectable weight loss. These medications mimic the natural effects of hormones like GLP-1, causing slower gastric emptying, and prompting the body to experience a feeling of fullness sooner. The effectiveness of weight-loss injections along with the following benefits make them a compelling option to consider:
- Significant Weight Reduction: Patient results have demonstrated that individuals using weight-loss injections can experience a reduction of 15% to 20% of their total body weight in a year.
- Cardiovascular Benefits: Weight loss achieved through these injections can lead to a decreased risk of heart disease, as losing weight can reduce blood pressure and improve heart health.
- Non-Surgical Option: For those seeking alternatives to invasive procedures, when combined with a healthy diet and exercise, weight loss injections provide a non-surgical method to achieve successful weight management.
Ideal Candidates for Weight-Loss Injections
Weight-loss injections are an excellent treatment option for patients who have struggled with weight loss using traditional methods like diet and exercise. To qualify for weight-loss injections, patients must have a BMI of 30 or above. Exceptions include patients with a BMI of 27 to 29 who have a weight-related health condition such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
The best way to confirm your candidacy for weight-loss injections is through a comprehensive evaluation, contact us in London today to book a weight-loss consultation.

Ozempic is self-injected weekly, while Saxenda is self-injected daily. Typically, these subcutaneous injections are delivered in the thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. Dosage is increased gradually. Mr. Vasilikostas will instruct you regarding the self-injection process, which is quite simple and convenient.
Injection of weight-loss medication must be accompanied by diet and lifestyle changes to create effective results. These changes aid in keeping the weight off after the treatment is complete. There is always the potential for progressive weight regain after stopping the medication. During the treatment process, patients may experience minor side effects such as nausea, reflux, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhoea, and constipation. After a few days to a couple weeks, these issues tend to fade.
The Cost of Weight-Loss Injections
The price of weight-loss injections varies from patient to patient. The specific weight-loss medication chosen can affect overall cost, as can the patient’s weight-loss goals.
