Obesity Consultation
Many people who are severely overweight have tried everything: diets, exercise, fasting. But often the weight comes back—or nothing happens at all. This is not due to a lack of discipline. Rather, it is due to biological mechanisms that become more resistant to change with each diet.
At our obesity consultation at schön skincare Hamburg, we offer you expert medical support—with honest information, a medical perspective, and, if desired, modern options such as GLP-1 agonists to support weight loss.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What happens during an obesity consultation?
We talk in detail about your previous experiences, eating habits, health situation, and lab results. The goal is to get to the root causes of your weight problem—without guilt, without diet restrictions.
What are GLP-1 agonists?
GLP-1 agonists such as semaglutide or tirzepatide are drugs that regulate blood sugar levels, reduce feelings of hunger, and improve feelings of satiety. They are now considered a medically sound option for obesity—especially when other measures alone are not sufficient.
Is that a lifestyle injection?
No. Treatment with GLP-1 agonists is only carried out on medical advice and in cases of obesity with health implications. It is not a beauty or quick weight loss program, but part of an individual, comprehensive medical concept.
How is billing handled?
Consultations, blood tests, follow-up appointments, and, if applicable, the issuance of a private prescription are billed according to the GOÄ (German Medical Fee Schedule). The medications themselves must be paid for privately—their availability depends on the current delivery situation.
How long does the treatment take?
The therapy is planned individually. As a rule, several months are necessary to achieve stable weight loss and behavioral change. Follow-up checks help to adjust the dose and accompanying measures.
Who is the obesity consultation suitable for?
- For people with a BMI over 30
- For people with a BMI over 28 and comorbidities (e.g., high blood pressure, insulin resistance)
- For anyone who struggles to lose weight despite eating healthily and exercising
- For anyone who wants to understand why their body maintains its weight
- For people who want medically supervised, safe weight loss
Understanding obesity – and treating it effectively
More than just discipline: Why losing weight is often not enough
Being overweight is not a sign of weakness. It is a complex interplay of genetics, metabolism, hormones, habits, and living conditions. Many patients report: "I don't eat much at all—and yet I still gain weight."
There are reasons for this. The body tries to hold on to its stored fat at all costs—especially after repeated diets or weight fluctuations. It lowers the basal metabolic rate, increases feelings of hunger, and alters hormone balance.
This is precisely where modern medical approaches come in—for example, with GLP-1 agonists, which modulate the body's own processes to regulate appetite and promote fat burning. During the obesity consultation at schön skincare Hamburg, we will work with you to determine whether such medications are appropriate in your case.
GLP-1 therapy:
Just one component—not a substitute for lifestyle changes
Medications such as semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic/Wegovy) or tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro) are not miracle cures—but they can help to realign the body. They are medically recognized and well researched, especially for people with a BMI over 30 (or over 27 with pre-existing conditions).
Therapy can help:
hunger
reduce
craving
reduce
the entry
facilitate healthy weight loss
metabolic parameters
how to improve blood sugar or blood lipids
The decision to undergo therapy is made individually and responsibly – always accompanied by realistic goals and regular progress checks.
What can you expect?
In a combined appointment, we deliberately take more time for your concerns.
We combine, for example:
- Hormone consultation + obesity counseling
- Hormone consultation + aesthetics
- Weight counseling + aesthetic body shaping
Billing is based on the GOÄ (German Medical Fee Schedule) – transparent, fair, and modular depending on the amount of work involved.
Please allow approximately 60 minutes for a combined appointment.
Would you like a combined appointment?
Hormonal changes, weight gain, and aesthetic concerns are often closely related. Many of our patients therefore want a holistic assessment —for example, in cases of:
- Hormonal problems & weight gain
- Sleep problems & skin changes
- Interested in GLP-1 therapy & WarmSculpting
- Hormone deficiency & desire for skin rejuvenation (e.g., PRP, threads)
