As we grow older and our lives get busier, it is very common to put on some weight. Jam-packed schedules and long days can deplete your energy levels and make it difficult for you to exercise. Even those who do exercise and stick to diets may still struggle with weight loss and find it difficult to maintain. Science has continually researched methods to help adults with weight loss with some great outcomes.
Such an example of effective treatment is a new weight-loss injection that contains the active substance liraglutide. Plenty of research has found this FDA-approved drug to be highly effective in reducing the body weight of adults above the age of 18. All it takes is a small, daily injection to see these fantastic results. That is why we now provide this highly effective and readily accessible treatment.
How do weight-loss injections work?
The injections contain active substance liraglutide. Liraglutide is like the naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1, which is released from the intestine after a meal. This leads to the feeling of satiety and inhibits further food intake. Saxenda mimics this process by acting on receptors in the brain that control your appetite, causing you to feel fuller and less hungry. Therefore, it can help you eat less food and reduce your body weight.
With over 20 years’ experience as a GP, Dr Fidal is well-qualified to deliver medical treatment, unlike many other cosmetic clinics. At your first appointment, Dr Fidal will gently introduce you to Saxenda and go through all the necessary and relevant details, ensuring you feel comfortable and well-informed. Following on, he will show you how to administer the injections and you can begin the treatment from then.
Key benefits of Weight Loss Injections:
- When combined with physical activity and a low-calorie dietary plan, regular doses are more effective for losing weight than a diet alone
- It has been shown to reduce high cholesterol and high blood pressure
- It has limited side effects
- It is self-injectable, so it requires fewer trips to the clinic

- Feeling sick (nausea)
