🥗 What Are Weight Loss Injections? A Complete Guide for Teddington Patients

“Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” — Hippocrates

Losing weight can be challenging, especially when diet and exercise alone don’t produce the results you want. For residents in Teddington, Richmond, and Twickenham, medical weight loss injections such as Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy are increasingly popular options. These treatments offer safe, effective, and doctor-supervised approaches to achieving significant weight loss.

🌿 How Weight Loss Injections Work 

Weight loss injections are prescription medications designed to help the body manage appetite, control cravings, and regulate blood sugar. They are typically administered once a week via a simple injection.

Key mechanisms include:

• Suppressing appetite, so you feel full faster

• Slowing digestion to maintain satiety longer

• Supporting insulin regulation to stabilize blood sugar levels

💡 When combined with healthy eating and regular exercise, these injections can accelerate fat loss safely and sustainably.

💉 Mounjaro vs Wegovy 

Wegovy (Semaglutide) 

• Mimics the hormone GLP-1

• Reduces appetite and food intake

• Average weight loss: 10–15% of body weight

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) 

• Targets two hormones (GLP-1 & GIP)

• May promote greater weight loss than single-hormone injections

• Average weight loss: 15–20% of body weight

Both are clinically proven and safe when prescribed by a doctor, making them ideal options for Teddington patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods.

✅ Who Can Use Weight Loss Injections? 

You may be eligible if you:

• Have a BMI over 30, or

• Have a BMI over 27 with weight-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea

• Have previously struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone

A private weight loss clinic in Teddington will conduct a full assessment to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for your individual needs.

⚠️ Are Weight Loss Injections Safe? 

Weight loss injections are generally safe when monitored by a healthcare professional.

Common mild side effects may include:

• Nausea or vomiting

Serious side effects are rare, but patients should always be under doctor supervision. Regular monitoring ensures safety and effectiveness throughout your treatment.
