ITV News: Why Weight Loss Injections Need Clinical Guidance | Dr.Derme Birmingham & London

Dr Thuva Amuthan (GP and founder of Dr.Derme Skin Clinics) was featured on ITV News discussing why weight loss injections must be used with proper clinical guidance — including safe prescribing, monitoring, and avoiding unsafe online providers. Rapid weight loss can sometimes contribute to visible facial changes such as facial fat loss, hollowing, sagging, and the look often referred to as “Ozempic face”. Dr.Derme also supports patients with natural-looking volume replacement and rejuvenation to restore balance and confidence after weight loss. 📍 Edgbaston | Sutton Coldfield | Wimbledon 🌐 www.drderme.com | 📞 0800 009 6109 | ✉️ info@drderme.com
