Weight management programme
Weight loss treatment at Enhance Clinic, Ashbourne
We offer a prescription medication specifically designed to aid in weight loss. It is an injectable drug that helps regulate appetite, making it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy weight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
