Ozempic® (semaglutide) is a prescription medication that may support weight loss and appetite control in eligible adults. Administered as a once-weekly injection, it works by helping to regulate appetite, reduce food cravings, and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier to maintain healthier eating habits and a calorie-controlled diet.
At Privé Skin Clinic, Ozempic® is prescribed as part of a personalised, medically supervised approach to weight management. Our goal is to help patients achieve sustainable, long-term results through tailored treatment plans and ongoing support.
How Ozempic® Works
Ozempic® contains semaglutide, a medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. This hormone plays an important role in appetite regulation and digestion. By increasing feelings of fullness and slowing stomach emptying, Ozempic® can help reduce hunger and support weight management efforts.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment?
Ozempic® may be suitable for adults who meet prescribing criteria following a medical assessment. Our clinicians will review your medical history, current health, and weight management goals before determining whether treatment is appropriate for you.
