Weight Loss Injections — Medical GLP-1 Therapy in Edinburgh
Our Weight Loss Injectable Programme uses Mounjaro — a clinically proven GLP-1 receptor agonist — combined with comprehensive medical assessment, ongoing supervision, and optional complementary treatments. It is a flexible, results-driven approach to weight loss, tailored to your health, your goals, and your pace. Every prescription we issue follows a thorough face-to-face evaluation by an experienced clinician — because responsible prescribing is the foundation of safe, effective results.
What Is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription-only injectable medication that works by mimicking two natural hormones — GIP and GLP-1 — that regulate appetite and blood sugar. It reduces hunger, slows the rate at which your stomach empties, and helps your body use insulin more effectively, making it significantly easier to maintain a calorie deficit and lose weight consistently.
Unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, which act on GLP-1 alone, Mounjaro targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors simultaneously. Clinical trials have shown it to be among the most effective weight loss medications currently available, with many patients achieving greater results than with GLP-1-only alternatives.
Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine. Prescribing it responsibly requires a proper clinical assessment, ongoing follow-up, and the judgement of a qualified medical professional. At Dermal Clinic Edinburgh, every prescription is issued by an experienced clinician who monitors your progress throughout your programme.
Your Weight Loss Injection Journey
Our programme is structured to deliver safe, consistent results — with medical oversight built in at every stage.
Step 1 — Initial Medical Assessment
A thorough in-person evaluation covering your health history, blood tests, body composition analysis, and personal goals. We do not prescribe without first understanding your full picture.
Step 2 — Choose Your Package
Select from our Bronze, Silver, or Gold packages depending on your goals and the level of support you would like. Each tier is fully explained during your consultation — there is no obligation.
Step 3 — Injections & Regular Medical Monitoring
Receive your Mounjaro injections with ongoing check-ins from our medical team. Dosage is adjusted progressively based on your response, tolerance, and rate of progress.
Step 4 — Optional Complementary Treatments
Depending on your chosen package, add ultrasound fat reduction, lymphatic drainage and skin tightening — treatments that accelerate fat loss and improve skin quality as your body changes.
Step 5 — Nutritional Support & Guidance
High-protein nutritional guidance is provided throughout to protect your muscle mass during weight loss. Losing weight without preserving muscle leads to poor long-term outcomes — our programme ensures you lose the right kind of weight.

Why Medical Supervision Matters
Weight loss injections are widely available — but accessible is not the same as safe. A medically supervised programme provides what no online service can match:
- Comprehensive pre-treatment assessment — a face-to-face evaluation with blood tests and body composition analysis before any prescription is issued.
- Personalised dosing — adjusted to your individual health profile and response, not applied as a generic protocol.
- Regular monitoring — blood tests, health check-ins, and ultrasound to ensure you are progressing safely.
- Muscle preservation — nutritional guidance to ensure you are losing fat, not lean mass.
- Complementary treatments — in-clinic options to enhance your results and manage body composition as you lose weight.
- A medical team you can speak to in person — every step of the way.
Mounjaro is a prescription medication with real clinical effects. Prescribing it without proper assessment and follow-up creates genuine risk — of incorrect dosing, undetected contraindications, and unmanaged side effects. Our programme is built to eliminate that risk entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will I need injections?
Mounjaro is typically administered weekly or fortnightly, depending on your programme and clinical response. Your schedule will be agreed at your initial assessment.
Is there an age limitation?
Yes. The minimum age for this programme is 18.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice appetite changes within the first one to two weeks. Significant weight loss is typically seen within four to eight weeks, with results continuing to build throughout the programme.
Are there side effects?
As with any prescription medication, side effects are possible. The most commonly reported include nausea, reduced appetite, and mild digestive changes — most of which ease as your body adjusts. Your medical team will discuss potential side effects in full before you begin.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes. There is no obligation to continue. Your doctor will advise on how to discontinue safely if you choose to stop.
How does Mounjaro compare to Ozempic or Wegovy?
Mounjaro targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, while Ozempic and Wegovy act on GLP-1 alone. Clinical evidence suggests Mounjaro produces greater weight loss in most patients. We will always recommend the medication best suited to your individual circumstances.
Is medical supervision really necessary?
Yes. Mounjaro is a prescription-only medication with real clinical effects. Without proper assessment and monitoring, risks include incorrect dosing, undetected contraindications, and unmanaged side effects. A supervised programme protects your health and your results.
I have existing medical conditions — can I still take part?
Possibly, depending on the condition. Your initial medical assessment is specifically designed to identify any contraindications and advise you accordingly. Please disclose all medical conditions and current medications at your consultation.
