Effective weight loss from the comfort of your home

Painless and non-surgical weight loss

Excess weight and obesity are a concern for a large portion of the population today. For most of us, this is not just an aesthetic issue, but also a risk factor for many other diseases, including cardiovascular problems. Although many treatment methods require strong willpower, in some cases even that is not enough.

Since our clinic is constantly exploring more innovative ways to address weight loss and excess body fat, we will introduce you to the use of complementary weight loss therapies and guide you on your journey toward a healthier body and greater self-confidence. Throughout your weight loss program, our staff will offer you expert consultations, weigh-ins on special scales, blood tests if necessary, and a starter kit for weight management therapy, which we describe below.

A reliable solution for weight loss through the use of natural processes

Our weight-loss program is based on a substance that is 97% chemically identical to a molecule called glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This peptide is produced naturally in our bodies and belongs to the group of incretins. This means that GLP-1 is a hormone produced in our intestines and released during meals.

In our brains, the feeling of hunger is constantly at odds with the feeling of fullness. As soon as we go without food for an extended period, substances with an appetite-suppressing effect gain the upper hand—we begin to feel hungry. After eating, various substances are released in the brain and intestines, including GLP-1. Thus, substances with the opposite effect are released, which suppress the feeling of hunger.

The problem with endogenously produced GLP-1 and its satiety-inducing effects is that this molecule breaks down rapidly in the bloodstream. For this very reason, the active ingredient is not an exact copy, but only an analog of our own GLP-1. At the same time, it binds to plasma proteins, which further prolongs its effect. As a result, its breakdown is delayed (from 2 minutes to 13 hours) and the feeling of fullness is prolonged.

Adjuvant therapy with a GLP-1 analog is indicated for weight loss primarily in adults with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m²) or in overweight adults (BMI 27–30 kg/m^²) with one or more comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose metabolism).

Easy and convenient weight loss with the starter kit

Right at the start of this chapter, it is important to reiterate that we are talking about an adjunctive treatment for obesity. The foundation of therapy is lifestyle modification and the elimination of obesity risk factors. The diet should be low in calories and combined with increased physical activity. Starting a weight-loss program is simple and convenient thanks to the affordable starter package. The package includes:

At the Dermaestet Clinic, we are well aware that weight loss treatment is challenging, time-consuming, and, above all, demanding. That is why we strive to expand our range of services to ensure the greatest possible comfort for our patients. If necessary, our team of experts will guide you through the entire weight-loss program, recommend the ideal approach, and provide you with professional guidance throughout your treatment.

It's not just about willpower—how does weight loss work with our weight-loss program?

The weight loss process is often lengthy and usually challenging. This is primarily due to the complexity of the factors contributing to fat accumulation. These health complications are not caused by a single factor, so their treatment cannot be based on a single approach. In addition to standard obesity treatment protocols, it is therefore beneficial to also consider supportive therapies. These may include, for example, psychological counseling or appetite suppression, as is the case with GLP-1 analogs.

Treatment with these medications is quite specific, and it is important that your doctor recommend it to you. Thanks to their professional expertise, you will receive precise instructions on how to start and maintain the treatment. A weight-loss program using GLP-1 analogues typically begins with the lowest dose. The dose is gradually increased each week. After five weeks, the target dose is usually reached, which must be maintained long-term.

Side effects you should be aware of

As with other medications, weight loss and reduction of subcutaneous fat with GLP-1 analogs may be accompanied by side effects. Although these may not occur in every patient, it is important to us that you are aware of them before starting the program. The most commonly reported side effects include stomach and intestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation). The good news, however, is that these effects usually subside on their own within a few days to weeks. To reduce the risk of side effects, you can try the following steps:
