Slimming injection - medical help with losing weight

Slimming injection – medical support for weight loss

A long-term increase in body weight can not only affect self-esteem – it also poses a serious risk to health. Diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, lipometabolic disorders and cardiovascular problems are closely linked to overweight and obesity.

However, many sufferers find it difficult to achieve a stable and healthy body weight through diet and exercise alone. The weight loss injection – a drug therapy with the active ingredient semaglutide – is now an effective way of providing targeted support for weight loss.

The treatment is aimed at patients who are severely overweight or even obese. At Tremp Plastic Surgery in Zurich, we offer you individual treatment planning and close medical care – for lasting success on the way to better health and well-being.

The treatment

The administration of the slimming injection only takes a few minutes and is carried out weekly under medical supervision. The therapy begins with a low dose, which is gradually increased to a predetermined amount.
The active ingredient is injected into the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. A treatment phase consists of 16 sessions, during which an accompanying medical check-up is essential. If a certain target weight is not reached after 28 weeks, the therapy is re-evaluated by a doctor with a view to possible alternatives.

Reasons for treatment with the slimming injection

Treatment with semaglutide is aimed at adult patients who are severely overweight or obese and have concomitant diseases such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or lipometabolic disorders. If other means of weight reduction do not work and surgery appears to be the only option, treatment with semaglutide can be considered.

The slimming injection works naturally in the body by mimicking the hormone GLP-1. This hormone is normally released in the intestine after a meal and signals a feeling of satiety to the brain.

The result: appetite and food intake are reduced. Provided they make accompanying lifestyle changes, patients can lose a significant amount of weight – semaglutide is therefore no substitute for a healthy lifestyle. Long-term success can only be ensured with a sustainable change in diet, exercise and behavioral patterns.

As a general rule, anyone struggling with severe obesity should first seek advice from their GP. The weight loss injection can only be administered after a doctor’s prescription for weight loss and weight maintenance in addition to diet and physical activity above a certain BMI.

Dr Tremp is not only a doctor but also, above all, a very decent, respectful and professional person. From the very first minute, I knew that I wanted him to perform my nose operation. No other doctor had ever given me the confidence and courage to take this step. Thanks to his expert advice, I was able to make a confident decision to go ahead with the procedure.
Dr Tremp performed my nose operation two weeks ago. I am satisfied, and I will continue to receive support after the operation, which gives me even more confidence. He takes the time to discuss any concerns.
I would have Dr. Tremp operate on me again anytime. He is simply an excellent doctor who always puts the patient’s well-being first. Thank you very much for everything. As a patient, you appreciate it and it gives you peace of mind when you know that someone is there for you.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the slimming syringe

How quickly does the slimming injection work?

This depends on the individual’s body weight and state of health. Continuous, accompanying training and a change in diet are important in order to reach a certain target weight after about six months.

How long do I have to take the slimming injection?

The duration of therapy depends on the individual goals. Treatment is often carried out over several months.

What happens when I stop the therapy?

As with many diets, weight gain can occur if a sustainable lifestyle change is not made. Therefore, the combination of exercise and a healthy diet is essential.

What is the difference to the fat-away injection?

The slimming injection has a systemic effect via the metabolism. Fat-away injections (injection lipolysis), on the other hand, target smaller fat deposits locally.
