Weight affects far more than numbers on a scale. Often, people notice changes in confidence, clothing choices, energy levels, and even relationships long before they connect them to weight. As a result, clothing may feel tighter and outfits you once loved may stay in the wardrobe. Meanwhile, everyday activities can feel harder and energy can dip. In turn, some people avoid photographs, social events, or holidays because they no longer feel comfortable in their skin.
It is also common for weight changes to affect hair, skin, sleep, mood, hormones, and self-esteem. For example, hair may feel thinner, skin may look duller, and joints may feel heavier. Emotionally, weight gain can also reduce motivation and intimacy, while shifting how you move through the world. Because of this, many clients tell us they feel more withdrawn, more self-conscious, or simply โnot themselvesโ.
At Continental Skin Clinic, we treat these experiences with compassion. That is why we offer clinician-led GLP-1 weight loss treatments and targeted fat-dissolving injections in London, with safe, structured support to help you regain control of your goals. First, we complete a full medical assessment, and then we guide you towards the most suitable option for your needs. For GLP-1 programmes, we monitor progress and support sustainable lifestyle changes alongside treatment. For fat-dissolving injections, we assess suitability, target specific areas, and plan a clear course that aligns with your goals.
Above all, we prioritise safe prescribing, responsible support, and a holistic plan that considers your wellbeing, not only your weight.
