How it works
Three steps between you
and real support
Who this is for
Is medical weight loss
right for you?
If you have started over more times than you can count, this is for you. Medical weight loss is not a shortcut and it is not for everyone; it is a clinical tool for people whose biology has been working against them. Here is the honest picture.
Likely suitable
- A BMI of 30,0 or above
- A BMI of 27,0 to 29,9 with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea or joint pain
- A long history of dieting, losing and regaining
- Menopause-related weight gain that has not responded to lifestyle changes alone
Not suitable
- Under 18
- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- A history of pancreatitis
- A personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2
- A history of an eating disorder (we would rather protect you than prescribe to you)
- A BMI already in the healthy range
Your final suitability is decided by a doctor at your medical assessment, never by a checklist. And if medical treatment is not right for you, our non-medical in-clinic programmes are; nobody leaves with nothing.
A gentle starting point
Check where you are starting from
BMI is a screening guide, not a judgement. It cannot see your strength, your story or your stress, but it helps your doctor understand where to begin.
Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.

The science
How GLP-1 medication works
GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after you eat; it tells your brain you are full. GLP-1 medications, a class that includes medicines such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, mimic that signal. Appetite settles, the constant background noise around food goes quiet, and smaller portions genuinely satisfy. It is not willpower in a pen; it is biology, finally working with you instead of against you.
In clinical studies, people using GLP-1 medication alongside lifestyle support typically lose 5 to 10% of their body weight over 3 to 6 months. Results vary from person to person, which is exactly why your doctor reviews your progress rather than promising you a number.
Like all effective medicines, GLP-1 medication has side effects. The most common are nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux and tiredness, usually strongest in the first weeks and usually settling as your dose is increased slowly. Rare but serious effects exist, which is why we screen carefully before prescribing and monitor you throughout. You will always know what to expect, because informed is safer than surprised.
Medication quiets appetite; it does not build habits, protect your muscle or plan your maintenance. That is why every prescription at Carisma comes inside a programme: meal structure, movement, check-ins and a doctor who actually knows your name.

FAQs About Online Medical Weight Loss in Malta
Generally, the programme is for adults in Malta with a BMI of 30,0 or above, or 27,0 to 29,9 with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance or sleep apnoea. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, after pancreatitis, or with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2. The final decision is always made by a doctor at your assessment, and if medical treatment is not right for you, we will point you to our non-medical in-clinic programmes instead.
You answer a short health assessment online; it takes about 2 minutes. A Malta-registered doctor personally reviews your answers, our team follows up on WhatsApp, and we schedule your consultation call with the doctor. There is nothing to install and nowhere to drive to.
Your medical care: the doctor’s review of your assessment, your private prescription when medically appropriate, renewals through short online reviews, WhatsApp access to our team, your personalised meal plan and workout programme, and an optional in-clinic body-composition scan in Floriana. Your first consultation is free, there is no binding period, and there are no hidden fees.
The medication is not included in the €49; it is prescribed privately and you buy it at the pharmacy you choose, anywhere in Malta. The price depends on the medication and dose your doctor prescribes and on the pharmacy’s own pricing, so we will not quote you a number that is not ours to promise. What we will do is tell you honestly what to expect before you commit to anything.
The most common side effects of GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, reflux and tiredness, usually strongest in the first weeks and usually settling as your dose is increased slowly. Rare but serious side effects exist, which is why we screen carefully before prescribing and monitor you throughout. If anything feels wrong, you message us and your doctor adjusts your plan. Honest expectations are part of safe care.
In clinical studies, people using this class of medication alongside lifestyle support typically lose 5 to 10% of their body weight over 3 to 6 months. Results vary from person to person, and steady is the point: we are building weight loss you can keep, not a crash you will repeat. We also track more than the scale, because energy, sleep and how your clothes feel matter too.
Not necessarily. Some people use it as a bridge while they build eating and movement habits that hold on their own; others benefit from longer-term use under medical supervision. We will be honest with you: stopping without a maintenance plan often leads to regain, which is why your programme includes one from the start. Your doctor reviews this with you regularly; it is a decision you make together, never a default.
Yes. There is no binding period; you can pause or cancel whenever you choose, and there are no hidden fees or exit charges. If you pause, you can come back when you are ready. No guilt, no hoops.
Every assessment is reviewed by a Malta-registered doctor, backed by our clinic at the Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana. We screen for the conditions that make this treatment unsafe, we never issue instant approvals, and prescriptions are written only when medically appropriate. If we would not prescribe it to a family member in your situation, we will not prescribe it to you.
