Lose Weight with Injections

Which weight-loss injection is suitable is always assessed individually by a doctor. Relevant factors include BMI, medical history, current medication, possible interactions, treatment goals and tolerability.

Depending on medical eligibility, active ingredients such as tirzepatide, semaglutide or liraglutide may be considered.

There is no single best weight-loss injection for everyone. The right treatment depends on your health situation, BMI, possible comorbidities, previous weight-loss attempts and tolerability.

That is why The Body Clinic assesses individually which injection program is medically appropriate.

The process starts with an eligibility check and a first consultation. This is followed by a medical assessment. A weight-loss injection can only be prescribed if there is a medical indication and no relevant reasons against treatment.

Weight-loss injections may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher. With a BMI of 27 or higher, they may be suitable if at least one weight-related comorbidity is present. The decision is always made individually by a doctor. The EMA describes these BMI thresholds for weight management, including for Mounjaro, Wegovy and Saxenda.

Yes, many weight-loss injections are injected under the skin using a pen, for example in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. The exact application, dosage and frequency depend on the medication and will be explained by a doctor.

Weight loss varies from person to person. It depends on factors such as starting weight, medication, dosage, diet, physical activity, tolerability and adherence to treatment.

The examples on this page show possible progress, but they are not guaranteed results.

Stopping treatment should not be done on your own, but discussed with a doctor. Important factors include weight progress, tolerability, treatment goals and how well new nutrition and exercise routines are already working in everyday life.

At The Body Clinic, it can be assessed during the program whether treatment should be continued, adjusted or stopped.

Weight-loss injections can cause side effects. These often affect the gastrointestinal tract, for example nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting or abdominal discomfort.

If you experience symptoms, you should not change the dosage on your own. Please contact your treating doctor.

Weight-loss injections are prescription medications and are not suitable for everyone. Risks may arise from medical conditions, current medication, intolerances or contraindications.

That is why weight-loss injections should only be used after medical assessment and with ongoing medical monitoring.

No. Weight-loss injections are prescription medications and should not be used without a doctor’s prescription or without medical support.

In Germany, statutory health insurers generally do not cover medication for weight loss. The G-BA explains that medicines used for weight loss are legally excluded from statutory health insurance coverage and are classified as so-called lifestyle medicines.

Private reimbursement may depend on the individual tariff, diagnosis and medical necessity. Please check this directly with your health insurance provider.

The cost depends on the medication, dosage and program duration. At The Body Clinic, programs with weight-loss injections start from €249 per month including medication. You can find a current overview on the pricing page.

A weight-loss injection is used as part of medical weight reduction and affects appetite, satiety and weight regulation. A fat-dissolving injection, also known as injection lipolysis, is an aesthetic treatment for small local fat deposits and is not a treatment for obesity.
