The medical weight loss clinic run by specialist doctors
At The Reduce Clinic, we offer our weight loss injection as an additional solution for weight loss. If making healthy lifestyle changes is challenging, this option may provide a lifeline.
No weight loss journey is the same, and diet and exercise alone might not deliver the results you are searching for, so medical weight loss support could be the right choice for you. Our medical management is a popular weight loss solution that effectively aids in weight reduction and may be the solution you have been searching for.

Majority of our patients lose up to 20% of their body weight and up to 8 inches from their waist.
Well tolerated by the vast majority of our patients.
Our weight loss injections activate the actions of two natural substances in your body, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This assists weight loss by reducing appetite, curbing cravings and slowing the rate at which your body processes foods, leaving you feeling fuller for longer.
Weight loss injections are becoming increasingly popular because they have effectively helped thousands reduce their weight and improve their health.
Once you commit to the pens, we will give you full guidance on how to inject. If your initial consultation is at a clinic then we can do the first injection for you. After this, you can administer the injections at home, with full ongoing guidance from our team.
When you start with the injections, you must use it once a week at any time. If your schedule changes and you have to switch the day of the week that you use the injection, make sure that you leave 72 hours between doses.
Before you use your injection, you first have to choose your injection site. A member of our team will help you identify which injection site is best for you.
Once you have picked your injection site, you need to pull off the base cap of the pen and place the base flat on your skin. You can then unlock the pen and press and hold the pen for 10 seconds. Once injected, listen to the first click, as that means that the injection has started. Once you hear the second click, the injection is complete.
Properly storing your weight loss pens is crucial to ensure that they work. If they are not refrigerated for an extended period of time, they could become ineffective. We suggest you store the pens at 2°C to 8°C and keep them in their original packaging to protect them.
If you have plans to travel, don’t worry. You can transport your pens unrefrigerated; you just need to ensure they don’t reach a temperature of 30°C.
If you use weight loss pens, you must dispose of them properly. To do so, put them in a sharps disposal bin, right after use. Make sure your sharps bin is out of the reach of children and empty it once it is full.
When you use the medication, your body will start adapting to it, so we will increase your dose in four-week intervals. The starting dose is always 2.5mg; each pen contains four doses of the injection, so your first pen will last a month.
With any weight loss injection, your weight loss will eventually plateau so we’d look to increase the dose until you reach the maintenance dose.
At The Reduce Clinic, we believe that transparency is key, and you should be aware of the possible side effects of using the injections.
You may not experience any of these side effects, but knowing about them is essential before making any decisions.
