Weight Management Clinic
Beauty by Future Standards
What is the Weight Management Clinic?
At Vie Aesthetics, we know how important it is to reach and maintain a healthy weight, both for mental wellbeing and for physical health. We also know how challenging it can be to shed those excess pounds, especially without the right support. That’s why we have become a certified partner of the National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP) for our Weight Management Clinic, helping you achieve your weight loss targets effectively and safely, using the latest advances in medicine and weight loss medication.
Which medications are used?
Our Weight Management Clinic will enter you into a course of two possible medications. You will take these alongside a calorie-controlled diet of your choice. Both medications are available by prescription only and your doctor will advise you on the one most suitable for you.
Working in conjunction with your diet, the medications will help you hit your goals by achieving the following:
- Controlling your appetite
- Curbing hunger
- Suppressing cravings
- Reducing portion sizes
- Releasing stored fat
- Losing weight
- Developing positive habits

How does the Weight Management Clinic work?
These medications are synthetic forms of the body’s natural hormone glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and food intake. GLP-1 is normally released from the body after eating a meal, and it makes you feel full, hence your appetite is reduced. It also delays the time it takes for the stomach to empty, preventing you from further eating.
Your body’s natural form of GLP-1 normally lasts only a few minutes after eating, whereas the synthetic form lasts much longer in the system before being broken down. This means that its effects are increased, and you will feel less hungry overall and fuller for longer.
By reducing your appetite, these medications will help you keep to the calorie-controlled diet of your choice in order to more easily achieve your weight loss goals.
