Medical Weight Loss in Myeongdong, Seoul
A doctor-guided programme combining medical evaluation, body composition analysis, prescription options when appropriate and lifestyle guidance.
What is medical weight loss? Medical weight loss is a physician-supervised programme that supports healthy weight reduction through medical evaluation and an individual plan, rather than a commercial diet. Depending on your health history, it can include body composition analysis, appetite management, nutritional and lifestyle guidance and, where medically appropriate, prescription medications such as Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide).
How medical weight loss works
A programme starts with a doctor consultation covering your health history, medications and goals, together with a body composition analysis that measures body fat percentage, muscle mass, water balance and metabolic indicators. This gives a baseline to plan from and to monitor progress against.
If you are a suitable candidate, the doctor may prescribe a GLP-1-based medication. Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) help regulate appetite, reduce cravings and support portion control. Medication is always combined with nutrition and lifestyle guidance and structured follow-up, and it is not suitable for everyone. Results vary widely between people.
