Why lose weight without surgery?
There are many reasons to choose to lose weight without surgery. Perhaps you find the impact of treatments such as a gastric band too great. Perhaps you find it a scary idea to go under the knife or to be fully or locally anesthetized. Or perhaps your BMI is not high enough to qualify for surgery.
Whatever your motivation, OWL center is there to help you lose weight sustainably, without surgery. We do this with treatments with medication, supplemented with long-term lifestyle coaching so that you can also maintain your weight loss. These treatments have been scientifically tested and it has been proven that they produce good results. They are therefore absolutely no less than treatments with surgery.
Help with losing weight: medication
We offer help with losing weight with medication. This is in the form of tablets or an easy-to-use lancing device. Before you start the treatment, you will have an extensive conversation with one of the doctors at OWL center. Your doctor will look at your medical history and your request for help and will give you extensive advice on which form of medication suits you best.
Losing weight with tablets
Do you need a little push in the back to lose weight? Our treatment with tablets mainly helps to suppress cravings, i.e. intense feelings of hunger. You take the tablets every day and in this way you will increasingly get your eating habits under control. Of course, we combine the treatment with lifestyle coaching, so that you not only lose weight, but also maintain your new weight. On average, our clients lose 8 to 12% of their total body weight within a year.
Losing weight with a lancing device
Another way to lose weight without surgery is with a lancing device. In this case, the doctor prescribes a natural remedy that is comparable to the body’s own substance GLP-1. This remedy ensures that you feel full faster and eat less. If you opt for this treatment, you will have an injection every day. Of course, you will receive an extensive explanation about this in advance. We also combine this treatment with lifestyle coaching for a sustainable result. Most of our clients lose 8 to 12% of their total body weight during their treatment.

Injections without fear
Do you find the idea of injections frightening? You are not alone: and at OWL center we understand that very well. Clients regularly tell us that they are worried about injecting medication such as semaglutide and tirzepatide.
We want to reassure you by sharing all the information you need to approach your treatment with confidence. In this article, we explain how these injections work, what you can expect, and how we can support you with instructional videos and more.
What are semaglutide and tirzepatide?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are medications used to treat certain conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. These medications help regulate blood sugar levels. You will feel less hungry and full more quickly. This is how these medications can contribute to weight loss.
How does the injection work?
The injections of semaglutide and tirzepatide are relatively simple. You can simply perform the injection yourself. Here is a step-by-step overview of what to expect:
-
Step 1: Preparation
Wash your hands thoroughly before you start. Prepare the injection in a clean and well-lit area.
-
Step 2: Injection needle
The needle you use for these injections is very thin and short. It is specially designed to cause minimal discomfort. The injection is usually done in the skin of your abdomen or upper thigh.
-
Step 3: Injection
You will administer the injection of semaglutide and tirzepatide once a week. After inserting the needle into your skin, slowly push the medication in. It may help to lift the skin slightly before inserting the needle. This will minimize discomfort.
-
Step 4: Aftercare
After the injection, you may want to clean the injection site with a sterile wipe. There is usually little to no visible blood or bruising.
Support and instructional videos
Check out our instructional videos! These are specially made available to make injecting your medication as easy as possible. The instructional videos guide you step by step through the injection process. You can find the videos with your medication, but you can also watch them here.
They clearly show you how to prepare, administer and safely dispose of the injection. Thanks to the instructional videos, you will gain more confidence in injecting. That will save you a lot of worries!
At OWL center, we ensure that your treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide goes as smoothly as possible. We understand that the idea of injections can be scary, but with the right information and support, we hope to alleviate your fear. Do you have any questions or do you need extra support?
