Weight loss injection in Hamburg

The so-called weight loss injection can be a medical aid in weight reduction. Modern active ingredients such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) can help regulate appetite and influence metabolism. This allows weight loss to be specifically supported under medical supervision.

At our private dermatology practice in Hamburg-Nienstedten, we offer a personalized weight loss program using the Mounjaro weight loss injection. The therapy is combined with aesthetic dermatological treatments to support skin quality and facial contours during weight loss.

Weight reduction with Mounjaro

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.

How the weight loss injection works

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.

Dosage and treatment course of the weight loss 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.

Combination with aesthetic treatments

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.

Complementary aesthetic treatments to support therapy

  • 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

Individual support and monitoring

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.
