Medically supervised weight loss
An individual programme for safe and sustainable weight reduction, with the option of modern medication under medical supervision.
Weight loss is not simply a matter of willpower. Excess weight and obesity are influenced by your health, metabolism, lifestyle, medications and other factors.
At Leonis Clinic, we therefore take an individual approach to every patient. We first assess your health and weight history and then agree on a suitable plan together. Where medically indicated, treatment may also include modern pharmacotherapy.

How the programme works
We assess your health
We discuss your weight history, previous weight-loss attempts, current medications, health risks and expectations. We assess key health indicators and may recommend laboratory tests.
We create an individual plan
We set a realistic goal and agree on the next steps. If medication is appropriate, we discuss the available options, expected benefits, how to use it and possible risks.
We adjust your treatment as needed
We monitor changes in weight, treatment effectiveness and tolerability. We adapt the next steps to your individual response.
Follow-up appointments may take place in person or online, depending on your treatment progress and individual needs.
We focus on lasting results
The aim is not merely a short-term change in the number on the scales. Once you have achieved your results, we work together on a plan to maintain your weight over the long term.
What the programme includes
The programme includes an initial medical examination, an individual treatment plan, follow-up appointments, monitoring of treatment effectiveness and tolerability, and adjustments based on your progress.
If medication is appropriate, the doctor may prescribe modern medicines used to treat overweight and obesity.
If you experience any treatment-related difficulties, you can consult our team about the next steps.
Laboratory tests
If you have recent laboratory results from your GP or a specialist, we will be happy to use them so that tests do not need to be repeated unnecessarily.
If you do not have recent results or prefer not to arrange blood tests through your GP, we can organise laboratory testing through a partner laboratory.
Basic laboratory panel
Includes tests of glucose and lipid metabolism, liver and kidney function, thyroid function, complete blood count, electrolytes and iron metabolism.
Extended laboratory panel
An extended laboratory panel, including vitamin D, is also available.

Frequently asked questions
Which medicines are used to treat overweight and obesity?
Modern pharmacological treatment may include medicines such as Wegovy® (semaglutide) and Mounjaro® (tirzepatide).
Ozempic® (semaglutide) is also frequently searched for, but it is primarily intended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
The choice of medicine always depends on the patient’s health, clinical indication, expected benefits and possible risks.
Is medication suitable for everyone?
No. The doctor assesses suitability individually based on your health, BMI, associated conditions, current medicines and any contraindications.
Do I need laboratory results before my first visit?
No. If you have recent results, please bring them with you. If not, we can recommend and arrange the necessary tests through a partner laboratory.
Do I have to attend every follow-up appointment in person?
Not always. Depending on how treatment is progressing, some follow-ups can take place online. If your condition requires an in-person examination, we will recommend an appointment at the clinic.
Is medication included in the programme price?
No. Medicines are paid for separately. Where indicated, the doctor will issue an electronic prescription and you can collect the medicine from a pharmacy of your choice.
How long does treatment last?
Treatment duration varies from person to person. You can start with a one-month programme or choose three months of care, then continue based on your results, treatment tolerability and further treatment plan.
