Once a week only, for upto a year (if needed)

95% of clients expect to lose at least 5% of bodyweight in 12 months but many can lose upto 10% or even more with a structured holistic plan. There have been cases of 20% of weight loss with the medication as well, which is quite exciting.

The needle is the size of an insulin needle which is around 1cm long and very thin. You will feel a small scratch but nothing too uncomfortable like a vaccination or blood test.

In a short answer, yes. Once you stop the medication data has shown that over 2/3 of patients regain their weight in a year that they lost. This is why at The Lean Clinic we are using a holistic approach to target your nutrition, workout and mental health. Addressing these areas of your routine should help with long term success of keeping that unwanted weight off.

This medication is considered to have a low risk profile. There can be some nausea or vomiting with higher doses of the medication, this is why you will have checkins and easy access to the medical team if the dose needs to be reduced. Uncommon side effects (1 in 1000 to 1 in 100) is something called acute pancreatitis which your doctor will discuss with you.

Some people are reporting their faces look aged. We would like to assure you this is not directly caused by the medication but weight loss in itself. As you may notice some volume loss in your face with extreme weight loss.

As a team we feel it is important to remind you that this is a medication and that medications carry risks. To minimise this risk we want to ensure there are no abnormalities in certain blood markers before starting and during your time with us. Also we can monitor progress of your cholesterol and HBA1C (a blood sugar marker) to see the positive effect of your clinic on your health.

This will include a personalised nutrition plan to help you stay satieated throughout the day and still enjoy flavourful food. A workout plan that won’t impede your free time but give you that spring in your step.

You will have a Health Coach who will be looking after you closely and free to answer any questions you have.
