Getting Started with Weight Loss Injections (Mounjaro & Wegovy)

Weight Loss Injections in Bromley: Everything You Need to Know

Introduction: A New Approach to Weight Loss in Bromley

For many people in Bromley, Croydon, Beckenham, and the wider South London area, losing weight isn’t just about looking better, it’s about feeling healthier and living longer. Diet and exercise are always the foundation, but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the results don’t come as easily as you’d like. That’s where weight loss injections like Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic can make a big difference.

At Bromley Travel & Weight Loss Clinic at Lakewood Pharmacy, we specialise in helping local people achieve safe and effective weight management. Located at 108 High St, West Wickham BR4 0ND, we’re proud to serve not only Bromley but also nearby communities including Orpington, Croydon, Beckenham, Catford, Lewisham, and beyond.

Our goal is simple: to provide trusted medical support with proven treatments that work in real life.

What Are Weight Loss Injections?

Weight loss injections are prescription medications that are designed to help you lose weight by controlling your appetite and the way your body processes food. They are not “quick fixes” or cosmetic shortcuts, but rather medical treatments that can make weight loss more achievable when combined with a healthy lifestyle.

How They Work in the Body

Most weight loss injections work by mimicking natural hormones in your body. These hormones help you feel full for longer, reduce hunger, and slow down the rate at which food leaves your stomach. As a result, you eat less, feel more satisfied, and gradually lose weight in a safe way.

Benefits Compared to Dieting Alone

• Helps control appetite – so you don’t feel like you’re constantly fighting hunger.

• Supports long-term weight loss – by making healthy eating habits easier to stick to.

• Clinically proven – with studies showing significant results when combined with diet and exercise.

• Medical supervision – means you’re supported throughout your journey with professional advice.

At our clinic in West Wickham, we take the time to explain exactly how each treatment works and make sure you feel confident before starting.

Popular Weight Loss Injections Available in Bromley

Wegovy: How It Works and What to Expect

Wegovy contains a medicine called semaglutide, which works by acting like a natural hormone that controls appetite. It’s taken once a week as an injection, usually in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Patients often report feeling fuller quicker and eating smaller portions without struggling.

Wegovy is licensed for weight management in adults who have a higher body mass index (BMI) and need medical support with weight loss.

👉 If you live in Bromley, Beckenham, or Croydon, you can start your Wegovy journey with a safe and private consultation at our clinic.

Ozempic: A Trusted Option for Weight Management

Ozempic also contains semaglutide, but it was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. Over time, doctors noticed that many patients also lost weight while taking it, leading to its use as a weight management injection.

At our Bromley clinic, we see many patients from West Wickham, Orpington, and Lewisham who want to explore Ozempic as an option. Like Wegovy, it is taken once a week and works by helping you feel satisfied with less food.

Mounjaro: A New Generation of Treatment

Mounjaro is one of the newest and most exciting weight loss injections available. Its active ingredient is tirzepatide, which works on two different hormones instead of one. This dual action makes it even more effective for some patients compared to older treatments.

Mounjaro is also a weekly injection and has been shown in studies to help people lose a significant amount of weight when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

At Lakewood Pharmacy in West Wickham, we are proud to offer Mounjaro as part of our weight management programme for patients across South London, including Croydon, Beckenham, Catford, and Lewisham.

Who Can Use Weight Loss Injections?

Not everyone will be suitable for treatments like Mounjaro, Wegovy, or Ozempic, and that’s why a professional consultation is so important. At our Bromley clinic, we follow strict medical guidelines to make sure every patient is safe.

BMI and Eligibility Criteria

Weight loss injections are usually recommended if:

• Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is 30 or higher (classed as obese), or

• Your BMI is 27 or higher and you also have weight-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, or type 2 diabetes.

BMI isn’t perfect, but it gives us a good starting point for understanding if treatment is appropriate.

Medical Assessments Before Starting Treatment

Before starting, you’ll have a consultation with one of our pharmacists. We’ll:

• Review your medical history

• Check for any conditions that might affect your suitability

• Explain how the injections work and answer your questions

• Discuss realistic weight loss goals

This step is essential because weight loss injections are not for everyone. For example, they aren’t recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions.

Common Questions About Weight Loss Injections

We hear many of the same questions from patients who are curious about weight loss injections. Here are some of the most common ones, answered clearly.

Are the injections safe?

Yes, when prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional, weight loss injections are considered safe. All medications have potential side effects, which we will discuss during your consultation, but serious problems are rare.

What side effects might I expect?

Some people may experience nausea, bloating, or mild stomach upset when starting treatment. These usually settle down as your body gets used to the medication.

How quickly will I see results?

Everyone is different. Some patients notice changes within the first few weeks, while others may take longer. The most important thing is steady, safe weight loss rather than quick fixes.

Do I still need to exercise and eat healthily?

Yes. Weight loss injections work best when combined with healthy lifestyle changes. You don’t need to be perfect, but adding light exercise and balanced meals will improve results.

How long do I need to take the injections for?

Treatment length depends on your individual goals and progress. Some people use injections for several months, others for longer. We’ll review your progress regularly.
