Weight loss treatment – Effective weight loss

At Fusion Healthcare, we offer effective weight loss treatment to aidyou in your weight management. Weight loss treatment comes in many forms. At Fusion Healthcare we offer weight loss injections given at monthly intervals. Weight loss injections are popular for tackling obesity and associated health conditions.

This form of weight loss treatment involves the administration of medications which help to reduce appetite, regulate blood sugar, or enhance metabolism, which leads to weight loss. At FusionHealthcare, we offer two types of weight loss injection:

  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro brand):  Mounjaro is effective in both weight loss and in regulating blood sugar levels.
  • Semaglutide (Wegovy brand):  Wegovy helps reduce cravings and regulate appetite.

Price: £170 (Including Doctor Consultancy)

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)

Tirzepatide is a novel medication developed for managing type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight loss. It’s a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of two natural hormones involved in regulating appetite and glucose levels: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By combining the effects of these two hormones, tirzepatide offers a dual approach to managing blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss.

GLP-1 is known for its role in enhancing insulin secretion, slowing gastric emptying, and reducing appetite. GIP, on the other hand, plays a role in stimulating insulin release and may help in fat metabolism. By activating both of these pathways, Tirzepatide aims to improve glucose control and support weight loss.

While Tirzepatide can be a powerful tool for weight loss, it cannot make drastic changes on its own. Successful weight management still relies on a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and healthy lifestyle choices. Tirzepatide can complement these efforts, but it works best when combined with a comprehensive approach to health and wellness

Semaglutide (Wegovy)​

Semaglutide injections consist of a medication helpful in the reduction of cravings and in regulating appetite. Initially approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus, semaglutide has been repurposed for weight loss in a higher-dose formulation, marketed as Wegovy. 

Semaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. GLP-1, or glucagon-like peptide-1, is a hormone that plays a key role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels. By mimicking the action of GLP-1, semaglutide helps control appetite, making it easier to reduce calorie intake and lose weight.

Semaglutide works by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the brain, which helps regulate hunger and satiety. Here’s how it contributes to weight loss:

  1. Appetite Suppression: Semaglutide reduces hunger signals, leading to a decreased desire to eat. Many users report feeling fuller with smaller portions, making it easier to adhere to a calorie deficit.

  2. Slowed Gastric Emptying: The medication slows the rate at which the stomach empties, prolonging feelings of fullness after meals. This can help reduce the urge to snack between meals.

  3. Improved Insulin Sensitivity: By enhancing insulin sensitivity, semaglutide can help manage blood sugar levels, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.

Starting semaglutide is a commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Along with taking the medication, it’s crucial to focus on balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and behavioural changes that support long-term weight management. This not only enhances the effectiveness of semaglutide but also helps maintain weight loss after treatment ends.

Weight loss injections require administration every month. Regular weight loss treatment means results can be maintained. These weight loss injections are subcutaneous injections and are administered under the skin.

Considerations and Side Effects

  • Side Effects: Common side effects of weight loss injections can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and low blood sugar. These side effects are usually more pronounced at the beginning of treatment and decrease over time.
  • Eligibility: Weight loss injections are generally recommended for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension.

 

Consultation Required: It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any weight loss injection. The provider can assess whether the medication is appropriate based on an individual’s health status, weight loss goals, and potential risks. At Fusion we have an in-house private doctor who can consult with you.

Weight loss injections can be an effective tool in a comprehensive weight management program that includes diet, exercise, and behavioural changes. However, they are not a quick fix and are most effective when used as part of a long-term, sustainable approach to health.
