After Care
Treatment
Clients self-administer Wegovy® injection at home once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without meals. Wegovy® can be administered any time of day. Wegovy® should be injected subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Patients can rotate the injection site each time.
Our best recommendation best on client feedback is a Thursday or Friday in the thigh area.
The injection is a micro-injection and doesn’t hurt. The Pen can be used for 4 weeks and the pack has full instructions on how to administer. If help is needed a face to face consultation can be arranged in clinic.
Post Treatment Aftercare
To ensure the best results from your fat dissolving injections, it’s important to follow your provider's aftercare instructions. Gentle massage of the treated area may be recommended to help the body absorb the dissolved fat. You should avoid intense physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours to minimize swelling and allow the area to heal. It’s also a good idea to stay hydrated and avoid heat treatments like hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for a few days to reduce the risk of additional swelling. If you experience any severe discomfort, unusual swelling, or signs of infection (such as redness or pus), contact your practitioner immediately. Otherwise, most people can resume normal activities within a day or two.
Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.

Wegovy (Semaglutide) 0.25mg FlexTouch solution for injection in pre-filled pen.
Wegovy is a prescription only medicine indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management, including weight loss and weight maintenance, in adults with an initial Body Mass Index (BMI) of
≥ 30 kg/m2 (obesity), or
≥ 27 kg/m2 to <30 kg/m2 (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., hypertension, dyslipidaemia, obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes mellitus).
Mechanism of action:
Semaglutide is a GLP-1. Semaglutide acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist that selectively binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor, the target for native GLP-1.
GLP-1 is a physiological regulator of appetite and calorie intake, and the GLP-1 receptor is present in several areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation.
Semaglutide has direct effects on areas in the brain involved in homeostatic regulation of food intake in the hypothalamus and the brainstem, and direct and indirect effects on areas involved in hedonic regulation of food intake, including the septum, thalamus and amygdala.
Contraindications:
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.
Store in a refrigerator at 2–8°C
