Ozempic (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, a prescription medication that mimics a naturally occurring hormone in your body. It works by signalling your brain to feel full sooner, reducing appetite and food noise, and slowing gastric emptying. This makes it easier to eat less without the constant battle with hunger. At Carisma, Ozempic is always prescribed as part of a structured, doctor-led programme — never as a standalone prescription.

The programme is for adults who feel stuck with their weight and want a safe, clinically guided solution with Ozempic or Mounjaro. Many clients are in their thirties, forties and fifties, dealing with stress, work, family and sometimes hormonal changes. You do not have to be a certain age. We look at your health, goals, and capacity, then tell you honestly if GLP-1 medication is the right fit.

If you qualify and follow the programme, our patients lose on average around 1 kg per week. Clinical trials show average weight loss of 10–15% of body weight with Ozempic and 15–22% with Mounjaro over 12–18 months. Your results depend on starting weight, body composition, health, programme length, and plan adherence. We track progress with body scans and measurements, not just the scale.

In your assessment you sit with our doctor and go through your medical history, medications, past diets, and hormonal or metabolic concerns. We take clinical measurements and perform a body composition scan. If needed, we may recommend blood tests, blood pressure checks, or food intolerance tests. Many clients already have conditions like high blood pressure, thyroid issues, or early diabetes, that's exactly why we screen properly and adapt your Ozempic or Mounjaro plan around your safety.

You will have structure, not prison. We use a Mediterranean-style framework with enough protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, then fit it to your culture and lifestyle. We plan for weekends, events, and eating out. No food is automatically banned. The focus is on what you can consistently follow, especially important while on Ozempic or Mounjaro, where appetite is reduced and every meal needs to count nutritionally.

The most common side effects of Ozempic and Mounjaro are gastrointestinal, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, and fatigue, and are usually temporary, occurring in the early weeks as your body adjusts. We manage these through slow dose titration, protein-first nutrition, hydration protocols, and regular doctor reviews. Serious side effects are rare when prescribed appropriately and monitored closely, which is why ongoing medical supervision is a non-negotiable part of our programme.

Both are GLP-1 medications used for weight loss, but they work differently. Ozempic (semaglutide) targets GLP-1 receptors only, while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, a dual-action mechanism that may offer stronger appetite suppression. In clinical trials, Mounjaro showed average weight loss of 15–22% compared to 10–15% with Ozempic. Our doctor recommends the right medication based on your medical assessment, not marketing trends.

No. Ozempic and Mounjaro are tools, not lifelong commitments. Our programme includes a defined maintenance phase and exit strategy. We build the habits, nutrition structure, and movement routine you need to maintain results after stepping down from medication. Research shows that stopping GLP-1 medication without a structured plan often leads to weight regain, which is why we include a post-medication protocol.

When prescribed appropriately and monitored by a doctor, Ozempic and Mounjaro are widely used and clinically studied. Large-scale trials show most side effects are mild to moderate and manageable. Comprehensive safety reviews have found no increased risk of serious adverse outcomes when prescribed following clinical guidelines. This is why medical assessment and ongoing supervision are non-negotiable parts of our programme.

Ozempic face" describes the facial volume loss, sagging, and hollowness some patients experience during rapid weight loss on GLP-1 medications. At Carisma Aesthetics, we prevent this by controlling the pace of weight loss, prioritising protein intake to preserve facial fullness, and offering collagen-stimulating treatments and dermal fillers if needed. Being an aesthetics clinic and GLP-1 programme under one roof means we treat the whole picture, body and face.

Your treatment plan is tailored to your body composition and goals.
