Medical Weight Loss Brisbane with Dr Aishah Bramli

Medical weight loss solutions include a range of medications; however, the latest is a weight loss injection. Developed initially as a medication for type 2 diabetes, the class has been effective in helping you lose 10–15% of your weight in one year. Dr Aishah is particularly interested in weight loss and cosmetic treatments. She consults and can provide the full range of medical weight loss options, assessing your suitability and reviewing all your options to decide which would be most appropriate to assist you.

To be eligible for the prescription of the weight loss injection, you must have a BMI of over 27, but you will need to get an appointment with Dr AIshah for a full assessment.

  • The initial consultation costs $150 (you will need to pay this in full to secure the appointment)*
  • If you have not had blood tests recently for risk factors, you must have one of these performed, and the pathology service is outside of the above cost. Generally, these can be bulk-billed.

How do the Weight Loss Injections Work?

Daily or Monthly Injection: When injected, this hormone, already produced in the gut, gets to the underlying reason for weight gain.

Reduces food cravings: The injections affect the brain’s reward centre, so cravings occur less frequently.

Reset Metabolic Pathways: The weight loss injections reset your body’s metabolic pathways, resulting in a 10-15% weight loss in one year.

Lowers your body weight ‘ set point’. Your set point is the weight your body fights to maintain based on biology. Reducing this means your body no longer fights to regain your lost weight.

Why hasn’t anything worked for me yet?

Gaining weight changes how your body responds to hunger and causes inflammation, making it increasingly difficult to sustain weight loss. Diets and exercise will not always produce effects for women with hormonal and inflammatory weight influences. This is where the weight-loss injections come in. They help you respond in a more normalised way, reducing hunger. You will need to implement long-term, sustainable changes for health.

Weight Loss Injection - F.A.Q.

What is the injection used?

The weight loss injection mimics the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, regulating digestion and reducing hunger. In 2017, it was approved for weight management in Australia.

This medicine is thought to be the most effective for long-term weight loss when combined with behavioural changes.

What is the injection called?

What is it called? We cannot give any brand or medicine names (anything listed as s4 medication) as Australian law prohibits this until you consult with Dr Aisha.

At the consultation and assessment, you are encouraged to ask as many questions as possible about the weight loss injections and other options Dr Aisha will present, so you can be confident that this is the best option.

The medication is injected via a pen with a tiny needle. It is not painful and feels just like a pinprick). You can inject this into either your abdomen or thigh.

 

How much weight can I expect with the injection?

Every weight loss journey is unique, but here is some information to give you an idea of what to expect: After a year, a typical patient loses 12.1% of their body weight:

In a 2017 study, 76.1 % of people lost more than 5% of their body weight after 20 weeks, and 28.3 % had lost more than 10%. (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5358074/) 

Individuals lost 12.1 % of their body weight in 52 weeks when this class of drugs was combined with behavioural adjustments, according to a 2020 study published in the International Journal of Obesity (almost twice as much as behavioural changes alone).

How much does weight loss injection cost?

This depends on where you get the prescription Dr Aisha prescribes filled. But generally, it is around $345 per month.
