Weight loss injections After-Care
AFTER-CARE GUIDE
GLP-1 & GLP-2 Prescription Weight Loss Injections
Trusted Touch Aesthetics – Fulham
At Trusted Touch Aesthetics, we offer clinically supervised weight loss using GLP-1 and GLP-2 prescription injections to support appetite control, reduce cravings, and help you reach your health goals safely. With proper care and guidance, this can be a transformative journey.
How It Works
GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor agonists (like semaglutide or liraglutide) mimic natural hormones that signal fullness, slow digestion, and stabilise blood sugar. They are a prescription-only treatment—most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
You’re Supported Every Step of the Way
Our care doesn’t stop at the injection. You have a committed team behind you:
Our resident nurse prescriber is available for check-ins, clinical advice, prescription adjustments, and side-effect management.
John at Trusted Touch Aesthetics offers guidance, reassurance, and lifestyle support throughout your journey.
Hydration Is Key
Weight loss medications can suppress your thirst along with your appetite—but dehydration can increase side effects like nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.
You should aim for:
1.5 to 2 litres of water per day
Herbal teas, sugar-free electrolyte drinks, or water with lemon
Sip steadily throughout the day—especially before meals
Common Side Effects & How We Can Help
Side effects are common at first and usually ease with time. We can also offer prescription support if needed.
| Symptom | Self-Care Tips | Prescription Support |
|---|---|---|
| Nausea | Eat slowly, avoid rich foods, stick to small bland meals | Anti-nausea medication |
| Constipation | Add fibre, hydrate well, light movement | Gentle laxatives or stool softeners |
| Diarrhoea | Eat plain foods, avoid caffeine and fats | Gut-calming medication |
| Fatigue or Light-headedness | Maintain steady food and water intake, consider B vitamins | Nutrient support or review with prescriber |
| Indigestion or Bloating | Eat slowly, chew well, avoid fizzy drinks | Antacids or enzyme support |
Muscle Maintenance & Protein Intake
While weight loss is often the goal, losing muscle mass is not. This can happen if you’re eating too little protein or not staying active.
To preserve lean muscle:
Aim for 1.2–1.6g of protein per kg of body weight per day
Prioritise protein-rich meals and snacks (eggs, fish, tofu, beans, lean meat)
Strength training or resistance workouts 2–3 times a week is highly recommended
Regular walking, yoga, or gym sessions can help maintain tone and function
Going to the gym or following a consistent exercise plan is essential to help retain muscle mass and support your metabolism during weight loss.
Facial Changes Are Normal
As you lose body fat, especially in the face, you may notice your facial structure changing—this is completely normal. This is sometimes referred to as “Ozempic face” in the media, but it’s simply the result of fat volume reduction.
If you’re concerned about these changes, we’re happy to discuss options such as skin boosters or facial fillers to restore volume subtly and naturally.
Supplement Support
As your appetite decreases, your nutrient intake may too. The following supplements may help:
B-Complex Vitamins – Supports energy and mental clarity
Magnesium – Helps sleep, digestion, and muscle recovery
Electrolytes – Prevent dizziness and fatigue
Vitamin D & Omega-3 – Immunity, bone health, and inflammation
Multivitamin – Covers general nutritional needs
Always check with our nurse prescriber before starting supplements.
