all about
excess weight
Excess weight isn’t just an aesthetic concern; it’s also a health risk, increasing the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and hormonal imbalances. Yet so many people find it hard to lose weight for good. At UMA Clinic, we offer medical support for weight loss, including Wegovy and Mounjaro, combined with personal guidance every step of the way.

what is excess weight?
Excess weight means carrying more body fat than is healthy for your body. It’s usually measured using BMI (body mass index): a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obesity. The causes are often complex, involving a mix of genetics, eating habits, hormonal factors and lifestyle.
causes and risk factors
- a slow metabolism or insulin resistance
- hormonal imbalances (including thyroid problems and PCOS)
- excessive calorie intake and too little exercise
- lack of sleep and chronic stress
- genetic predisposition or medication use
symptoms and effects of excess weight
- difficulty losing weight despite dieting or exercise
- fatigue, shortness of breath or joint problems
- high cholesterol or high blood pressure
- insulin resistance or prediabetes
- lower self-confidence or feeling ashamed of your body
who is the treatment suitable for?
If you have a BMI above 27 (with related health problems) or a BMI above 30, you may be eligible for medical treatment. During your intake, we’ll take the time to understand your situation, goals and medical background.

wegovy and mounjaro injections
Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are proven to be effective for weight loss. These injections suppress your appetite, stabilise your blood sugar levels and help you feel full sooner. Given just once a week, they can lead to 10–20% weight loss with long-term use.
