What the Weight Loss Injection Is Really About
Many patients are currently interested in modern medical options for weight reduction. Understandably so – reports about the “weight loss injection” are everywhere. But there is something fundamental that matters to us:
It’s not about short-term solutions for us, but about safe and sustainable weight reduction with a focus on fat loss and preservation of muscle mass. Treatments with Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) and Wegovy® (semaglutide) are particularly suited for people with overweight or obesity for whom conventional measures alone have not been sufficiently successful.
We will work with you to determine whether the treatment is medically appropriate for you during a detailed initial consultation. Because the therapy is not a lifestyle product and not a “quick weight loss fix”– it is a medical treatment that must be supervised by a physician. That’s why at SmartPraxis we rely on a structured program with regular check-ups, personal support, and modern body composition analysis.
How Your Program Works at SmartPraxis
Transparency is important to us: you should know from the start what to expect. Our care concept consists of three closely integrated components.
1. Initial Consultation & Medical Assessment
The process begins with a detailed conversation with one of our physicians. Together, we discuss:
- Your health situation
- Your previous experiences with weight reduction
- Possible risks and side effects
- Realistic therapy goals
- Nutrition, exercise, and long-term strategies
Before your appointment, we ask you to fill out our digital informed consent form – this gives us more time during the consultation for your questions.
2. Regular Medical Supervision
A successful therapy requires continuity. That’s why monthly medical consultations take place during the treatment. This allows us to:
- Monitor tolerability
- Adjust the dosage individually
- Detect side effects early
- Evaluate the course of therapy together
The monthly consultations are a mandatory component of our care concept – not as a hurdle, but for your safety.
Cost of the initial consultation: approx. €40 (in accordance with GOÄ).
Cost of monthly consultations: approx. €11 · For HZV patients, this fee is waived.
3. BIA Body Composition Analysis: It's Not Just About the Weight
Our goal is not simply “less weight,” but healthy fat loss while preserving as much muscle mass as possible.. That’s why we regularly perform BIA measurements (bioimpedance analysis). Among other things, we analyze:
- Body fat percentage
- Muscle mass
- Water balance
- Metabolic development
At least once per quarter a BIA measurement is mandatory Additional check-ups are possible at any time and often advisable. The follow-up assessments help us evaluate changes objectively and tailor your therapy individually.
Cost per BIA measurement: €26.54 (mandatory at least once per quarter)

How do I get my follow-up prescription?
We issue a follow-up prescription when the agreed check-up appointments have been kept and the treatment can be continued in a medically appropriate manner.

Why do you measure my body composition (BIA) and not just my weight?
Because the scale alone doesn’t tell enough. We are focused on healthy fat loss while preserving as much muscle mass as possible. The BIA makes visible how body fat, muscle mass, and water balance are actually changing – allowing us to guide the therapy objectively and individually.

Particularly for people with overweight or obesity for whom conventional measures alone have not been sufficiently successful. Whether the treatment is appropriate in your case is something we decide together during the initial consultation.

During the initial consultation, we provide you with well-founded advice on nutrition, exercise, and muscle building. Under certain conditions, we prescribe a DIGA (prescription app) for weight loss.
