Mounjaro is a dual-acting agonist (GIP + GLP-1) that shows significantly more effective weight loss than pure GLP-1 receptor drugs such as semaglutide (e.g., Wegovy or Ozempic).
In clinical trials, over 70% of participants on 10 mg and 15 mg doses lost ≥ 20% of their body weight within 72 weeks, with an average weight reduction of 20.2% (compared to 13.7% with semaglutide).
Even after three years, approximately 20% of the weight loss remained stable.
Treatment with Mounjaro can influence several processes in the body:
Reduction of hunger
Delay in gastric emptying
Improvement in sugar and fat metabolism
Support for long-term weight loss
It is usually administered once a week as a subcutaneous injection.
Treatment usually begins with a starting dose of 2.5 mg. The dosage can be adjusted gradually, usually at intervals of several weeks, until the individually appropriate dose is reached.
Regular medical check-ups are carried out during treatment to monitor the progress of weight loss.
Rapid weight loss can lead to changes in facial contours, sometimes described as “Mounjaro Face.” This can result in volume loss in the cheeks, jawline, or eye area.
At our practice, we combine weight loss with aesthetic dermatological treatments as needed to maintain a harmonious appearance.
Hyaluronic acid fillers for gentle volume restoration
Botulinum toxin to relax expression lines
Polynucleotides to improve skin structure
Thread lifting for skin tightening
HIFU or radiofrequency to support skin firmness
Regular medical check-ups are carried out during the program to ensure safety and treatment success.
These include:
Checking laboratory values
Monitoring weight progression
Checking vital signs
Assessing possible side effects
Optionally, the treatment can be supplemented with recommendations on nutrition, exercise, and aesthetic measures.
Make an appointment for a consultation to find out whether the program is right for you—including comprehensive information about effects, possible side effects (e.g., gastrointestinal issues, nausea, possible changes in facial volume), and costs.

Treatment with weight loss injections may be suitable for adult patients who wish to lose weight under medical supervision.
A detailed medical history is taken before treatment begins.
Possible requirements may include:
Age over 18
Not pregnant
No type 1 diabetes
No active tumor findings
Treatment is assessed and recommended on an individual basis.
Weight loss injections containing modern active ingredients such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are used in medicine under medical supervision and are individually tested before treatment begins. As with any drug therapy, a detailed medical history is first taken to rule out any possible risks. During treatment, weight, laboratory values, and general health parameters are checked regularly. Common side effects at the beginning of therapy may include mild gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea, which in many cases subside after a while. Safe use is therefore particularly ensured when the therapy is medically supervised and regularly monitored.
