National Medical Weight Loss Programme at Dew Aesthetics
Dew Aesthetics has partnered with the National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP) to offer medical support and advice within our clinic to patients who would like to lose weight.
What the programme offers
Almost two-thirds of adults in England are living with excess weight for their height, putting them at risk of premature death and associated disease.
The NMWLP at Dew Aesthetics is a health assessment and treatment plan. Clinical and real-world studies have shown patients on this weight loss programme have lost significantly more weight, and keep that weight off, compared to patients who are just dieting.

Your Questions about the National Medical Weight Loss Programme Answered
The short answer is: yes, it’s very safe. The programme has been fully trialled, tested and is proven to reduce your appetite and cravings to help you lose weight.
