Weight Loss & Obesity Management in London
Struggling to lose weight?
Weight Loss & Obesity Management in London
If you’ve tried dieting, exercising, or “doing everything right” but still find it hard to lose weight or keep it off, you’re not alone. For many people, weight gain is influenced by hormones, metabolism, appetite regulation and long-term health conditions — not just willpower.
At Oval Medical Centre, we offer a specialised medical weight loss and obesity management service designed to support people who need more than lifestyle advice alone. Our approach combines medical expertise, nutritional support and, when appropriate, safe and clinically approved weight loss treatments to help you achieve sustainable results.
What are injectable weight loss medications?
Injectable weight loss medications are prescription treatments that help regulate appetite and reduce cravings. They are usually taken once weekly or once daily using a simple injection pen that most patients find easy to use at home.
These medications are not a “quick fix”. Instead, they work as part of a structured medical plan, supporting healthier eating patterns and helping you feel more in control of hunger. When combined with dietary guidance, physical activity and ongoing medical supervision, they can be highly effective in supporting long-term weight loss.
How do weight loss medications work?
The most commonly prescribed injectable weight loss treatments act on a hormone called GLP-1, which is naturally released by the body after eating.
By enhancing this hormone’s effects, the medications help:
- Reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness
- Slow digestion, helping you feel satisfied for longer
- Improve blood sugar regulation
- Reduce cravings, particularly for high-calorie foods
For many patients, this makes healthier choices feel more achievable and sustainable, rather than a constant struggle.
FAQ
Am I eligible for weight loss medication?
Weight loss medication may be suitable for adults who are overweight or obese, particularly when weight is affecting overall health. Eligibility depends on individual clinical factors and overall suitability.
Prescriptions are issued only when appropriate and in line with UK clinical guidelines.
What does the service include?
Your care begins with a comprehensive medical consultation, where we assess your health, lifestyle and weight history. If suitable, you’ll receive a personalised treatment plan that may include lifestyle guidance, dietitian support and, when appropriate, prescription medication. Ongoing follow-up appointments allow us to monitor progress and adjust treatment safely.
Is this an online service?
No. This is a doctor-led, face-to-face medical service. You will be seen in person by experienced clinicians who can properly assess your health, answer your questions and provide ongoing support.
Which medications do you prescribe?
When clinically indicated, we may prescribe NICE-approved treatments such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or Wegovy / Ozempic (semaglutide). Your doctor will explain the benefits, risks and alternatives before any treatment is started.
What results can I expect?
Weight loss results vary from person to person. Our focus is on safe, sustainable progress and long-term health improvement rather than rapid or unrealistic outcomes.
How do I get started?
Booking an appointment allows us to assess whether this service is right for you and discuss your options in detail. Fees, follow-up plans and prescriptions are always explained clearly before treatment begins.
