Weight Loss Injection
Weight loss injections (GLP-1 such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®) are a modern medical treatment method for weight reduction. These medications work by mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1, which reduces appetite, enhances the feeling of satiety, and slows gastric emptying. Treatment is provided under medical supervision and is individually tailored to your needs.

How Does the Weight Loss Injection Work?
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) are medications that mimic the natural hormone GLP-1. This hormone is normally produced in the intestine and plays an important role in regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.
The mechanism of action includes:
- Appetite suppression: Reduces feelings of hunger
- Enhanced satiety: Helps you feel full faster
- Delayed gastric emptying: Leads to longer-lasting feelings of fullness
- Blood sugar regulation: Can also be helpful for type 2 diabetes
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
Weight loss injections are suitable for adults with overweight (BMI ≥ 30) or obesity (BMI ≥ 27) with at least one weight-related comorbidity. Before starting treatment, we conduct a thorough medical examination to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.
Possible Side Effects
As with all medications, side effects can occur with weight loss injections. Common side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Abdominal pain
These side effects are usually mild to moderate and often subside after a few weeks as the body adjusts to the medication. We discuss all possible risks and side effects in detail with you before starting treatment.
Important Notes
The costs for the medication (GLP-1) are not included in the price and are currently not covered by statutory health insurance. Treatment is provided as a self-pay service according to the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ).
Successful weight reduction requires a comprehensive approach that includes not only medication but also a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and, if necessary, psychological support.
