Am I Eligible for Treatment?
Most medical weight loss treatments are suitable if your Body Mass Index (BMI) meets key clinical thresholds.
BMI 30 or Over
For most medical weight loss treatments including prescription GLP-1 injections and oral tablets without additional comorbidities.
BMI 27 or Over
When accompanied by a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, elevated cholesterol, or joint strain.
Treatments We Offer
We focus exclusively on clinically proven, prescription-only weight loss therapies tailored to your lifestyle and comfort.
Prescription Weight Loss Injections
Breakthrough GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist medications (such as Mounjaro / Tirzepatide, Wegovy / Semaglutide, and Saxenda / Liraglutide) administered via a simple, virtually painless injection pen.
Key Benefits:

- Slows stomach emptying so you feel full for longer after meals
- Clinically proven to support significant, sustained body weight reduction
- Full instruction and guidance on self-administration provided in clinic
Prescription Weight Loss Tablets
Prescription oral weight management tablets designed for patients who prefer a daily tablet option or are unsuitable for injectable therapies.
Key Benefits:
- Convenient daily oral dosing — no needles or injections required
- Reduces dietary fat absorption or curbs appetite depending on medication
- Monitored with regular nurse check-ins to optimize dosage & tolerance
- Suitable alternative for clients uncomfortable with injectable devices
