Doctor-led medical weight loss

Weight loss that starts with a doctor, not a diet

If you have started over more times than you can count, the problem was never your willpower. Medical weight loss treats the biology. A Malta-registered doctor reviews your health, prescribes when it is right for you, and stays with you month after month, all from home.

Who this is for

Is medical weight loss right 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 answered to lifestyle changes alone
  • Men who have not seen a doctor in years and would rather start from the sofa

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, past or present
  • A BMI already in the healthy range

Your suitability is decided by a doctor at your review, never by a checklist. And if medical treatment is not right for you, we say so and point you to support that is.

How it works

From your sofa to real medical care

  1. Step 1

    The free assessment

    About 5 minutes of questions about your health, your history and your goals. No scales in a corridor, no judgement, nothing said out loud.

  2. Step 2

    Doctor review within 24 hours

    A Malta-registered doctor personally reads your answers and confirms whether medical weight loss is safe and appropriate for you. Some health histories are invited to a video call first; that is care, not friction.

  3. Step 3

    Monthly care, not a parcel

    If treatment is right for you, your private prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose, and your care begins: monthly check-ins, dose adjustments, renewals through short online reviews, and a team on WhatsApp that knows your name.

What's included

Everything for €49 a month

The Weight Loss Plan

€49/month

Billed monthly · first consultation included

  • First consultation included
  • Personal doctor review of your assessment
  • Private prescription, when medically appropriate
  • Monthly check-ins and dose adjustments
  • Renewals reviewed by your doctor
  • Ongoing care and WhatsApp support
  • Guidance on food and movement that fits your life
  • Optional body-composition scan at our clinic in Floriana
  • Cancel anytime

The €49 covers your medical care, not the medicine. Where medicine is prescribed, you buy it separately at the pharmacy, at the pharmacy's own price. We never sell or ship medicines. And if the doctor declines, you pay nothing.

No binding period · pause or cancel anytime · no hidden fees

The honest part

What we will not do

  • We will not prescribe without a doctor's individual review. Ever.
  • We will not prescribe if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, or if your history makes treatment unsafe.
  • We will not promise you a number on the scale. Anyone who does is selling, not treating.
  • We will not sell you medicine. Pharmacies dispense it, priced by them, chosen by you.
  • We will not treat anyone under 18.
  • We will not disappear after the prescription. The monthly fee exists because the follow-up is the treatment.

The doctors

Real doctors. Real names.

Every assessment is read by a Malta-registered doctor. These are the clinicians who review your answers and stand behind every plan.

Dr. Jean Claude Scicluna

Medical doctor

Postgraduate training in pain management, with a strong interest in metabolic health, obesity medicine and lifestyle interventions.

His approach combines careful medical assessment with practical, sustainable strategies tailored to each individual. Rather than promoting restrictive diets or quick fixes, he works with patients to understand the medical and lifestyle factors contributing to weight gain, creating personalised plans that fit real life.

Where clinically appropriate, he prescribes medical treatment as part of a structured programme alongside nutrition, exercise and behavioural support, helping patients achieve meaningful weight loss while preserving long-term health.

His philosophy is simple: treat the whole person, build lasting habits, and create results that patients can maintain for years, not months.

FAQ

Asking is the hard part

Am I eligible?

Generally, this service is for adults in Malta or Gozo 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, with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2, or with a history of an eating disorder. The final decision is always a doctor's, made at your review.

Do I ever need to visit a clinic?

No. The assessment, the doctor review, renewals and support all happen from home. If you would like one, an in-person body-composition scan is available at our clinic in Floriana, but it is an option, never a requirement.

What does the €49 a month actually cover?

The plan is €49 per month, with your first consultation included. The assessment is free, and you only pay when the doctor approves a plan; if the doctor declines, you pay nothing. Medicine, where prescribed, is paid for separately at the pharmacy, at the pharmacy's own price. No binding period, pause or cancel anytime.

What will the doctor prescribe?

That depends entirely on your health, and it is a conversation for you and your doctor. Maltese and EU rules do not allow prescription medicines to be advertised to the public, and we follow them, which is one way you can tell we are a clinic and not a pill site. What we can say: treatment is doctor-prescribed, well-established, and offered only where clinically appropriate.

How fast will I lose weight?

Slower than an advert would tell you, and steadier than you have managed alone. Medical weight loss is measured over months, not weeks, and your doctor will set honest expectations at your review based on your starting point. We track more than the scale, because energy, sleep and how your clothes feel matter too.

What about side effects?

Every effective medicine has them, and pretending otherwise is how people get hurt. The common ones are usually digestive and usually strongest in the early weeks. You will know exactly what to expect before you decide, because your doctor screens you first and monitors you throughout. If anything feels wrong, you message us and your plan is adjusted.

Will I regain the weight when I stop?

Without a maintenance plan, many people do, and we would rather tell you that now. This is why your plan includes habits, food structure and a maintenance conversation from the start, and why stopping is a decision you make with your doctor rather than a default.

Can I pause or cancel?

Yes, anytime. No binding period, no exit fees, no hoops, and no guilt. If you pause, you come back when you are ready.

The last first day

A free assessment, a doctor within 24 hours, and care that stays. €49 a month with the first consultation included, cancel anytime. You have carried this alone for long enough.
