At Elegant Clinic in Poole, Bournemouth, every treatment is delivered with clinical oversight to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Each programme is personalised to your needs and lifestyle. Your treatment will be administered by Shikha Rishi, our experienced prescribing pharmacist and medical aesthetics practitioner, who will monitor your progress and adjust your plan as required.

How the Programme Works

Your weight management journey begins with a thorough assessment, including a medical review and BMI calculation. This helps us determine the most suitable treatment path for you. If appropriate, Shikha will prescribe Mounjaro or Wegovy and create a structured plan tailored to your goals.

You will receive ongoing clinical monitoring to track progress, adjust dosing if required, and support long-term maintenance. Alongside medication, you will also receive nutritional guidance and lifestyle advice to help build lasting healthy habits.

What to Expect

Results vary, but many patients experience steady and manageable weight loss throughout the programme. Common outcomes may include:

  • Initial phase (0–3 months): Improved appetite control and early weight reduction

  • Midpoint (3–6 months): Noticeable weight loss and improved lifestyle habits

  • Extended phase (6–12+ months): Continued progress and focus on long-term maintenance

Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations based on your individual circumstances during your assessment.
