Your weight loss injection options in Melbourne
At BetterLife Surgery, Dr Mo Atalla offers a range of weight loss injections to support a healthier lifestyle. Each medication works differently to help regulate appetite, blood sugar levels, and metabolism. During your consultation, Dr Mo Atalla will assess your individual needs and guide you in selecting the most suitable weight loss injection for your goals.
Mounjaro®
Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) is a dual-action medication that mimics two natural gut hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels, slow digestion, and send signals to the brain that promote fullness. By targeting both pathways, Mounjaro® enhances the body’s ability to manage weight effectively while also improving insulin function.

Ozempic®
Ozempic® (semaglutide) mimics the GLP-1 hormone, which is naturally released in response to food intake. It slows stomach emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer, and reduces hunger signals in the brain. Additionally, Ozempic® stabilises blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Ozempic® weight loss injections in Melbourne are an effective tool for weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.

Saxenda®
Saxenda® (liraglutide) is another GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and reduce calorie intake. Unlike Ozempic®, which is taken once weekly, Saxenda® is a daily injection that gradually increases in dosage over time. It works by slowing digestion and enhancing feelings of fullness, reducing the likelihood of overeating. Saxenda® can support long-term weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Wegovy®
Wegovy® (semaglutide) is a higher-dose version of Ozempic®, formulated specifically for weight loss. Like Ozempic®, it mimics the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control. The key difference is that Wegovy® is prescribed at a higher dose, making it more effective for weight loss in individuals without diabetes. Wegovy® is a promising option for those looking for substantial and sustained results.
