SkinnyJab: medical weight management with clinical supervision

SkinnyJab is an online medical weight loss service that has been operating since 2017 and presents itself as a clinical alternative to fad diets. The UK-based company offers consultations led by healthcare professionals and a free next-day delivery service. Its approach focuses on the use of weight loss injections, such as GLP-1 medications, under medical supervision.

Treatment with GLP-1 medications

The service is based on treatments that act on the body's natural hormones, such as GLP-1 agonists (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic), to reduce food cravings, boost metabolism and achieve lasting weight loss. The company insists that this is not a quick fix, but a safe and supportive approach designed to improve the patient's health and confidence.

Consultations and clinical follow-up

SkinnyJab offers free online consultations and a clinician-led programme. The team is led by Caroline Balazs (BSc, MSc, IP), CEO of the brand and an expert in health and weight loss, who serves the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland. The company describes itself as a female-led company, with a team that includes Claire as operations manager, Srividya (BSc in Food Science) in dietetics and nutrition, and Jane in patient services.

Requirements and supply scope

The service only supplies weight loss medications in the United Kingdom and does not ship to the European Union or the United States. Patients must complete a health form and verify their eligibility before starting treatment. The company also offers supplements and food inspiration resources.

Informative and educational content

The SkinnyJab website includes a news and articles section on topics related to medical weight loss, such as how Mounjaro works, its side effects, dosage, eligibility, comparison with Wegovy, oral alternatives, interaction with alcohol, gut health and nutrition during treatment. It also covers topics such as hair loss, microdosing and counterfeit products.

Policies and compliance

The company has standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the purchase of prescription-only medicines (POM), GLP-1 prescribing, medicines management, cold chain, mental capacity and complaints. It also has returns, refunds, privacy and cookies policies.
