Saxenda is the brand name for a medicine called liraglutide, given as a small injection once a day.
Unlike some other injections you may have read about, Saxenda is actually approved for weight management, not just diabetes. It is used to help certain adults and some adolescents lose weight and keep it off, alongside a healthy diet and increased physical activity. Because it is a prescription medicine, it must be prescribed and monitored by a doctor, who first checks that it is safe and suitable for you.
Saxenda copies a natural hormone in your body, called GLP-1, that helps control appetite.
In simple terms, it works on the appetite signals between your gut and your brain, helping you feel full sooner and stay full for longer. It also slows down how quickly your stomach empties. The result, for suitable patients, is a smaller appetite and fewer cravings, which makes it easier to eat less and lose weight when combined with lifestyle changes.
It is not a magic fix. Saxenda works best as one part of a wider plan that includes diet, activity, and regular medical review.
For the right patient, and always under medical supervision, Saxenda can offer several benefits:
Which of these apply to you, if any, depends on your health and is something our doctors will assess.
Saxenda is generally considered for adults living with obesity, or who are overweight and also have weight-related health concerns, and who have found diet and exercise alone insufficient.
It is not suitable for everyone. It is not intended for people who simply want to lose a small amount of weight cosmetically, and it is not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain medical or family histories. The only way to know if it is safe and right for you is a proper check-up with a doctor. This is why it should never be bought without a consultation.
Like all medicines, Saxenda can cause side effects. The most common are:
Nausea is the side effect most people notice first, and it usually eases as your body adjusts. More serious side effects are uncommon. Our doctors will explain what to expect, start you on a low dose that increases gradually to reduce side effects, and adjust your plan if needed.
Weight loss injections are sometimes sold online, on social media, or informally without proper checks. This is genuinely risky.
There is also a serious counterfeit problem. Fake weight loss pens have been found in Malaysia and around the world, and health authorities have issued warnings about them. Counterfeits may contain the wrong ingredient, the wrong dose, or unsafe substances, and can look convincingly real. Buying from unofficial sellers means you have no way of knowing what you are actually injecting.
At Euphie Clinic, anything involving Saxenda is always doctor-led, using genuine medicine handled correctly, with a proper check-up first and regular follow-up, so your health always comes first.
If a doctor decides Saxenda is right for you, it is used with their guidance, not on your own. Here is what that looks like:
Ozempic is sometimes sold online, on social media, or informally without proper checks. This is genuinely risky. It is a strong prescription medicine, and using it without a proper health check, the right dose, and monitoring can cause real harm.
There is also a serious counterfeit problem. Fake Ozempic pens have been found in Malaysia and around the world, and health authorities have issued warnings about them. These counterfeits may contain the wrong ingredient, the wrong dose, or unsafe substances, and they can look convincingly real. Buying from unofficial sellers means you have no way of knowing what you are actually injecting.
At Euphie Clinic, anything involving Saxenda is always doctor-led. That means a proper check-up first, an honest conversation about whether it suits you, genuine medicine handled correctly, clear guidance on how to use it, and regular follow-ups, so your health always comes first.
Weight management is a medical process, not a product, and it should be guided by a doctor who assesses your whole health picture, not just the number on the scale.
Every consultation involving Saxenda at Euphie Clinic is done by our qualified medical doctors, who hold recognised medical degrees (MBBS). They check whether it suits you, prescribe it safely, and monitor you throughout. All our doctors follow the same standards of care, so you are looked after consistently.
The cost of Saxenda depends on the plan our doctors at Euphie Clinic recommend, which is based on your health and needs. Because this is a prescription treatment tailored to you, the best way to get accurate information is a consultation. Please contact us or visit Euphie Clinic to find out more.

Most patients find it very manageable. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the injections begin to minimise discomfort. The blood draw from the arm feels the same as a standard blood test. Overall, most patients rate the experience as mild discomfort.
For skin rejuvenation, some patients notice a subtle improvement in radiance within the first week. More visible improvements in texture, fine lines, and scar appearance typically become noticeable around 4 to 6 weeks after the session. For hair loss, visible improvement in thickness and density is generally seen at around 3 to 6 months after beginning the treatment course.
Yes. Because PRP is made entirely from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. It is considered one of the safest injectable treatments available. The equipment used to prepare the PRP is sterile and single use. PRP should always be performed by trained medical professionals in a licensed clinic.
Yes, and combination approaches often produce the strongest results. For skin, PRP pairs well with Pico Majesty Laser, Sylfirm X, and skinboosters. For hair loss, it works particularly well alongside Fotona Hair Restore Laser and topical treatments such as Minoxidil. Your doctor will advise the safest and most effective combination for your specific goals.
PRP is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have blood disorders or severe anaemia, have active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area, have certain autoimmune conditions, or are on immunosuppressant medications. A thorough consultation with our doctors at Euphie will confirm your suitability before any treatment begins.
For skin rejuvenation, results typically last several months with maintenance. For hair loss, results depend on the individual and whether the underlying cause of thinning continues to progress. PRP does not permanently stop hair loss, so regular maintenance sessions are needed to sustain improvements over the longer term. Your doctor will advise the most appropriate maintenance schedule for your situation.
Beyond aesthetics and hair loss, PRP is an active area of research across several medical fields. In orthopaedics, it is being studied as a treatment for joint pain, tendon injuries, and osteoarthritis, with the goal of using concentrated growth factors to support tissue repair and reduce inflammation without surgery. In female reproductive medicine, researchers are investigating PRP’s potential to support uterine lining health and improve outcomes in certain fertility treatments. It is also being explored in the context of erectile dysfunction, where improved blood vessel formation and tissue repair may support better function. In wound care, particularly for diabetic foot ulcers, PRP has shown promising results in accelerating healing in tissue that is otherwise slow to repair due to poor circulation and a compromised immune response. While these applications are still under active research and are not yet standard practice across all medical settings, they speak to the broader potential of the body’s own regenerative biology when concentrated and applied with precision.
