Are you tired of jumping from one fad diet to the next? Have you been frustrated by the endless cycle of weight loss attempts that just don’t stick? You’re not alone and we’re here to help you break that cycle. At iSkincare, located in the heart of Bournemouth and Poole, we offer patients the opportunity to explore the latest in prescription weight loss treatments that are scientifically proven to work: Wegovy and Mounjaro.

These aren’t just magic pills they’re powerful medications backed by cutting-edge research that harness the science of your body to make lasting weight loss a reality. At iSkincare, we don’t just offer these treatments—we provide personalised support every step of the way, ensuring that your journey is as smooth and successful as possible.

Understanding the Science: How Wegovy & Mounjaro Work

Both Wegovy and Mounjaro are GLP-1 receptor agonists, which means they work by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone called GLP-1. This hormone plays a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite control. By stimulating GLP-1 receptors in your brain, these medications help you feel fuller for longer and reduce cravings meaning you eat less and, in turn, lose weight.

But that’s just the start of the science!

Wegovy: A Game-Changer in Weight Loss

What it is:
Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable medication containing semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by controlling your appetite, slowing gastric emptying, and even altering your brain’s hunger signals to reduce the desire to eat.

How it works:

Wegovy helps by:

1. Increasing feelings of fullness which means you’re more satisfied after eating smaller portions.
2. Slowing digestion allowing you to feel satisfied longer after meals.
3. Lowering appetite reducing the psychological drive to eat and decreasing your cravings for high-calorie foods.

Studies have shown that Wegovy can help patients lose 15% or more of their body weight when combined with healthy lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. It’s not a shortcut—it’s a scientific partner that supports your body’s natural weight regulation.

Who it’s for:
Wegovy is ideal for adults with obesity or overweight conditions, and it can be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It’s not a quick fix, but it provides long-term weight loss benefits for those who need a little extra help.

Mounjaro A Dual-Action Weight Loss Solution

What it is:
Mounjaro is a newer treatment that contains tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide) receptor agonist. By targeting two key hormones in the body, Mounjaro provides a more potent solution for weight loss.

How it works:
Mounjaro works in a similar way to Wegovy but with an additional twist. It activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to achieve:

• Enhanced appetite suppression making it even easier to stick to a calorie deficit.
• Increased insulin sensitivity which can help with weight loss, especially for patients with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
• Improved glucose control reducing the spikes and crashes that lead to sugar cravings.

Recent studies indicate that Mounjaro can help patients lose more weight than Wegovy. In trials, patients using Mounjaro experienced weight loss of up to 22.5% of their body weight—an impressive result!

Who it’s for:
Mounjaro is particularly effective for those who are also dealing with type 2 diabetes or have higher insulin resistance, as it can help regulate blood sugar while supporting weight loss.
