Hamilton Fraser’s comprehensive guide to weight management in aesthetic medicine

The demand for medical weight-loss treatments has surged in the UK, with millions now turning to options such as GLP-1 medications. As more patients seek support from aesthetic clinics—whether for weight management itself or to address the rapid changes that can follow—practitioners are navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

To support the sector, we’ve created Hamilton Fraser’s guide to weight management in aesthetic medicine, a free resource designed to help practitioners deliver safe, ethical and clinically informed care. The guide explores:

• The rise of GLP-1 medications and what they mean for aesthetic practice
• CQC requirements and the regulatory framework surrounding weight-loss services
• Safeguarding, advertising rules, and duty of care considerations
• The essential role of nutrition, lifestyle and mindset in sustainable outcomes
• Managing rapid weight loss and “Ozempic face” with appropriate aesthetic treatments

Featuring expert insight from independent prescriber Piroska Cavell, the guide brings together clinical context, best practice, psychological considerations and practical support for practitioners entering (or already navigating) this fast-growing area of aesthetics.

Whether you offer weight-management services or treat patients experiencing the aesthetic effects of rapid weight loss, this guide provides the clarity and structure you need to practise safely and confidently.
