The primary aim of The Image Clinic programme is a reduction in body fat with the assumption that this will reduce the risk of co-morbid conditions. Success should also lead to an improvement in the quality of life, self-esteem and social functioning. An in-depth medical questionnaire, height, weight, urine, blood pressure checks and BMI calculations and measurements are taken to assess patients.

The patient is informed by the doctor of recommended treatments and care. Patients give written consent before receiving treatment. Patients have confidential discussions with the doctor that ensures privacy.

Carrying unwanted extra fat can be dangerous. The increased risks of heart attacks, high blood pressure, arthritis and complications of chest infections can all be as a result of being overweight. Losing weight quickly (yo-yo dieting) can also be dangerous.

The Image Clinic recognises that long term healthy eating is the most successful way to lose excess fat and maintain a healthy weight but sometimes it’s not that easy to switch from chips to baked potatoes or deep fried cod to grilled cod. Being told to resist seconds of everything and stop raiding the fridge is very hard to do when you’ve always done it.

The use of Reductil or Xenical and other medications available support you as you re-adjust your eating pattern and your taste buds, will help you work towards reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.

At your first consultation the The Image Clinic doctor will explain how the treatments prescribed for you work and he prescribe the right one for you. All The Image Clinic’s consulting doctors are experienced, registered family practitioners or hospital doctor's who will be able to give you sound medical advice and support.

What is Reductil and how does it work?

Reductil acts on the brain quite differently from any previous or existing slimming medicines acting on the parts of the brain which control food intake. Reductil helps you to feel more satisfied with smaller helpings of food, so that you eat less. There is no evidence of potential for abuse or addiction.

What is Xenical and how does it work?

Xenical acts as a fat blocker, acting on the enzymes in the wall of the intestine, preventing the fat from being absorbed into the body. Fat is very high in calories so only a little has to get into the body to give a big effect on the amount of fat stored.

The Image Clinic encourages fortnightly consultations and supply of treatment. Xenical however does not require such regular medical supervision; longer intervals and supplies can be arranged. There is no evidence of potential for abuse or addiction.

Personal for you

The Image Clinic aims to discover your preferred eating habits and work within your preferences. There are no group meetings, the Image Clinic Slimming Clinic is discreet and personal with advice and guidance just for you.
