If you’ve been exploring options for weight loss injections, chances are you’ve come across names like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro. While these treatments may sound similar, they each serve a unique purpose. In this article, we’ll help you understand what Wegovy is, how it works, and answer two of the most commonly asked questions: 'Are Wegovy and Ozempic the same?' and 'Are Wegovy and Mounjaro the same?'
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy (semaglutide) is a prescription injectable medication designed specifically to support weight loss. It works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation. The result? You feel fuller, less hungry, and experience fewer cravings—making it easier to make healthier food choices and stick to your goals.
Key benefits of Wegovy include:
Increases fullness and reduces hunger
Lowers blood sugar levels
Reduces preference for high-fat foods
Clinically proven for effective weight loss
Are Wegovy and Ozempic the Same?
This is a popular question, and the short answer is: they are similar, but not exactly the same.
Both Wegovy and Ozempic contain the active ingredient semaglutide. However, they are prescribed for different reasons:
Wegovy is licensed specifically for weight loss
Ozempic is typically prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes
Wegovy is available in higher doses than Ozempic, making it more suitable for weight loss. So, while they share the same main ingredient, their usage and dosing differ.
Are Wegovy and Mounjaro the Same?
Wegovy and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are not the same, though they are both injectable medications aimed at supporting weight loss.
The key difference is the active ingredient. Wegovy contains semaglutide, while Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which works slightly differently by mimicking two hormones instead of one.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to determine if Wegovy is the right fit for you. You’ll receive full guidance on how to administer the injections, and monthly follow-ups will help ensure you’re staying on track and feeling supported every step of the way.
The injection is taken once a week, on the same day each week, with or without food. Your practitioner will guide you through everything you need to know.
Managing Side Effects
Most clients tolerate Wegovy well, but like any medication, side effects can occur. These might include nausea, upset stomach, fatigue, or dizziness. Don’t worry—your practitioner will walk you through what to expect and how to manage any side effects if they appear.
Wegovy vs Targeted Fat Reduction
While Wegovy helps with overall weight loss, it doesn’t target specific areas like the chin, stomach, or thighs. If you’re looking to reduce stubborn fat in those spots, we may recommend pairing your treatment with Aqualyx Fat Dissolving injections for more precise results.
How Much Does Wegovy Cost?
Wegovy treatment starts from £225 per month. Your practitioner will provide a personalised pricing plan based on your individual needs and goals during your consultation.
Other Weight Loss Options Available
While Wegovy is a fantastic option for many people, I’m also fully trained and able to provide Mounjaro and Ozempic. This gives you more flexibility to find the treatment that works best for your body and lifestyle. During your consultation, we can discuss both and decide together which is the right fit for you.
