Mounjaro in Birmingham
At a Glance
At Dermoperfection, located in The Mailbox, Birmingham City Centre, we offer clinically led, science-based weight management treatments that support long-term health and wellbeing. As part of our specialist weight-management services, we provide medically supervised access to Mounjaro®, a prescription weight loss injection designed to support safe, sustainable weight reduction under professional care.
Weight management is about more than appearance. Excess weight and obesity are closely linked to obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure, abnormal glucose regulation, cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Our Mounjaro weight management service in Birmingham focuses on improving overall metabolic health while supporting realistic, long-term weight loss alongside lifestyle support, including diet and physical activity.
Mounjaro: What You Need to Know
Mounjaro® is a private prescription injectable medication containing tirzepatide, a GLP-1/GIP agonist that works on hormonal pathways involved in appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. As a dual-action GLP-1 agonist, it plays an important role in medical weight management and metabolic health.
At Dermoperfection Birmingham, weight loss injection prescriptions are only issued following an in-person consultation. This includes a full medical history review, Body Mass Index assessment and discussion of existing conditions such as type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular risk factors.
Mounjaro® is not a cosmetic solution or quick fix. It is prescribed as part of a structured weight management programme, designed to work alongside a healthy diet, appropriate exercise regimes, and ongoing medical monitoring.
What Concerns Mounjaro Helps With
Mounjaro® may be suitable for individuals struggling with:
- Weight loss despite diet and exercise advice
- Obesity or raised Body Mass Index
- Obesity-related health problems
- Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance
- Raised blood pressure or abnormal cholesterol
- Increased risk of cardiovascular disease
- Appetite dysregulation and overeating
By improving appetite control and glucose regulation, Mounjaro® supports weight loss in a medically supervised way, reducing reliance on restrictive dieting alone.
Who Is Mounjaro Suitable For?
Mounjaro® may be appropriate for adults who meet specific medical criteria and are seeking specialist weight-management services rather than non-reversible weight loss surgeries.
Treatment may be suitable for individuals who:
- Have a raised Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Are living with obesity or an obesity-related health problem
- Have type 2 diabetes mellitus or insulin resistance
- Have not achieved sustainable results through diet, physical activity, or lifestyle change alone
Mounjaro® is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, medications or risks — including a history of diabetic ketoacidosis — may affect eligibility. A full consultation, medical assessment and BMI review are required before prescribing.

How Mounjaro Works
Mounjaro® contains tirzepatide, a dual-acting GLP-1/GIP agonist that supports weight management by:
- Reducing appetite and cravings
- Slowing gastric emptying to promote fullness
- Improving insulin sensitivity
- Supporting stable blood glucose levels
- Enhancing overall metabolic health
By acting on these pathways, Mounjaro® helps reduce calorie intake naturally and supports sustainable weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular physical activity.
At our Birmingham clinic, dosages are prescribed and adjusted based on your response to treatment, side effects, medical history and progress.
Mounjaro vs Other Weight Loss Injections
Several injectable medications are available for medical weight management, but they differ in mechanism and suitability.
Mounjaro® vs Wegovy
Wegovy targets GLP-1 receptors only, while Mounjaro® acts as a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, which may offer enhanced appetite regulation and metabolic benefits for some patients.
Mounjaro® vs Ozempic
Ozempic is primarily licensed for glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes and is often prescribed off-label for weight loss. Mounjaro® is designed specifically for weight management and metabolic health under medical supervision.
Your clinician will advise which injectable treatment is most appropriate based on your health profile and goals.
Treatment Areas
Mounjaro® is administered using a self-injectable pen with fine pen needles. Common injection sites include:
- Abdomen
- Thigh
- Upper arm
Patients receive full guidance on using the injectable pen, including safe use of pen injectors, injection technique and storage, ensuring confidence with home administration.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your journey begins with an in-person consultation at our Birmingham City Centre clinic. During this appointment, our healthcare team will:
- Review your medical history
- Assess Body Mass Index and health risks
- Discuss weight loss goals
- Explain how GLP-1 medications affect glucose and appetite
- Provide diet and exercise advice
- Develop a personalised treatment plan
Ongoing monthly check-ins, follow-up appointments and wrap-around care form part of our support services, ensuring side effects are managed and progress is monitored safely.
Results and How Long They Last
Many patients begin to notice weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment, although results vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, starting weight and lifestyle.
Clinical studies show that sustained use of tirzepatide alongside lifestyle adjustments can lead to significant, long term weight loss. Maintaining results often involves continued treatment, regular monitoring and ongoing support from your healthcare team.
Your practitioner will advise when and how treatment should be continued or tapered, depending on your progress.
