Who is suitable for BeSlim?
BeSlim is often found to be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27+ with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. It is not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or with certain medical conditions including a history of pancreatitis or thyroid cancer. Patients must be committed to attending reviews and engaging with the programme for optimal results.
Is there a maximum BMI for using Mounjaro?
There is no strict upper BMI limit for Mounjaro, and it has been shown to be effective in individuals with a very high BMI. However, for those with a BMI over 50 or with complex medical needs, a more comprehensive plan – potentially involving specialist weight management services – may be recommended. A medical consultation will determine the best treatment path.
Can I stop the BeSlim programme once I reach my goal weight?
It’s often more effective to taper off the treatment under medical supervision. Stopping suddenly can result in weight regain. We provide guidance on transitioning to maintenance, with continued lifestyle and nutritional support to help you keep the weight off long-term.
Do I need to follow a special diet while using Mounjaro?
While no strict diet is required, we recommend a balanced, calorie-controlled eating plan to maximise results. Our team offers tailored nutritional advice to support your weight loss, reduce side effects, and build healthy habits that last.
Can Mounjaro help if I don’t have type 2 diabetes?
Mounjaro is licensed for type 2 diabetes, but it is also prescribed off-label for weight loss in individuals without diabetes who meet the BMI criteria. Many people without diabetes benefit from its appetite-suppressing and metabolic effects.
How much does BeSlim cost?
Each treatment plan at Face Medical is tailored to the individual. As the BeSlim programme is delivered in stages, the Mounjaro dosage may be changed depending on how the results progress. This will determine the cost of treatment at each stage.
