Wegovy®

Wegovy® Weight Management Treatment

Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a prescription medication specifically licensed for weight management in eligible adults. Administered as a once-weekly injection, Wegovy® works by helping to regulate appetite, reduce food cravings, and increase feelings of fullness, supporting sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

At Privé Skin Clinic, Wegovy® is prescribed as part of a personalised, medically supervised weight management programme designed to help patients achieve long-term, sustainable results.

How Wegovy® Works

Wegovy® contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a naturally occurring hormone involved in appetite regulation. By slowing stomach emptying and enhancing feelings of fullness, Wegovy® can help reduce hunger, support portion control, and make it easier to maintain a calorie-controlled diet.

Who May Be Suitable for Treatment?

Wegovy® may be suitable for adults who meet prescribing criteria following a medical assessment. Our clinicians will carefully review your medical history, current health, and weight management goals before determining whether treatment is appropriate for you.
