YOUR WEIGHT-MANAGEMENT JOURNEY
01 — CONSULTATION
We discuss your goals, medical history, current medications, previous weight-management experiences and what you would like support with.
02 — ASSESSMENT
Your health, weight-management needs and suitability for treatment are assessed before any prescription treatment is considered.

Where appropriate, we discuss the available options and agree an individual approach based on your circumstances and goals.
04 — MONITORING
Your progress, response to treatment and any relevant side effects or concerns are reviewed as part of your ongoing care.

Weight management is a process rather than a single appointment. We can review your progress and adapt your approach when appropriate.

MEDICAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Weight management is individual, and there is no single approach that works for everyone. By Yolly offers a medically led weight-management service for people who would like professional support with their weight and overall health. Following a consultation and appropriate medical assessment, prescription weight-management treatment may be considered where clinically appropriate. Your consultation will include discussion of your health, medical history, current medications, previous weight-management attempts, goals and suitability for treatment. If prescription treatment is appropriate, you will receive clear information about how it works, how it is used, potential benefits, side effects, risks and ongoing monitoring. Weight management is not simply about medication. We take a wider approach that considers sustainable lifestyle changes, your individual circumstances and how you feel throughout the process.
Medically Proven

Clinician Led
Guided by qualified medical professionals who prioritise your overall health and safety.
Data Driven
Utilising clinical metrics to monitor progress and adapt care to your unique biological needs.
ACUPUNCTURE FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Acupuncture has been investigated as a complementary approach to weight management, with research exploring both body acupuncture and auricular acupuncture.
At By Yolly, acupuncture can be considered specifically in relation to your weight-management goals rather than simply as a general wellbeing treatment.
Your treatment is individualised according to your needs, health history and goals. Acupuncture points may be selected using traditional acupuncture principles and may include body and/or auricular points where appropriate.
Acupuncture can be used as a complementary treatment alongside appropriate medical weight management and lifestyle measures. It is not a replacement for medical assessment, prescribed treatment or established approaches to weight management.
The aim is to provide an individualised acupuncture approach that supports your wider weight-management journey.
BODY CONTOURING
Weight management and body contouring are not the same thing. Medical weight management focuses on supporting changes in body weight, while body contouring focuses on the appearance of specific areas of the body.
Body shape can change with age, lifestyle, weight fluctuations and changes in skin elasticity. Some people are particularly concerned about localised areas of fullness, skin firmness or uneven-looking contours that can be difficult to address through lifestyle changes alone.
Non-surgical body-contouring treatments can be considered for selected areas, with the aim of improving the appearance of contours and supporting firmer, smoother-looking skin.
RADIOFREQUENCY BODY CONTOURING
Radiofrequency uses controlled energy to heat tissue beneath the skin. This controlled heating may support improvements in skin firmness, elasticity and the appearance of uneven or lax skin.
It may be considered for areas where skin tightening and improved contour are the main concerns.
ULTRASONIC CAVITATION
Ultrasonic cavitation uses ultrasound energy and is used as a non-surgical body-contouring treatment for selected areas of localised fullness.
It may be considered where the main concern is the appearance of stubborn, localised areas rather than overall weight loss.
It is a cosmetic body-contouring treatment and is not intended as a substitute for weight management or healthy lifestyle measures.
A TAILORED APPROACH
The most appropriate treatment depends on the area being treated, your skin and tissue characteristics, your goals and your individual suitability.
During your consultation, we can discuss whether radiofrequency, ultrasonic cavitation or a combination of approaches may be appropriate for you, along with realistic expectations and the number of treatments that may be recommended.
