Weight and obesity treatment in Tirana

Excess weight and obesity are not just a matter of willpower. At Aura Medical Clinic in Tirana, endocrinologist Dr. Sara Zavalani assesses the hormonal and metabolic causes and draws up an individual medical plan, with regular follow-up.

Why a medical assessment is needed

Weight gain can be linked to the thyroid, insulin resistance, hormonal disorders, medication or sleep. Before any treatment, the doctor checks these factors and risks such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

How the treatment works

• Consultation with the endocrinologist: medical history, weight, waist circumference and habits.
• Tests at Aura’s laboratory as needed, such as blood sugar, HbA1c, thyroid and blood fats.
• An individual plan: diet, physical activity and, when the doctor considers it appropriate, injection therapy under medical supervision.
• Regular check-ups on progress and side effects. The plan usually includes 3 to 6 sessions.

Who leads the treatment

Safety

Do not start weight-loss medication without a medical assessment. Tell the doctor about any illnesses, medicines you take, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any history of eating disorders. Medical follow-up is there to monitor side effects and adjust the plan.

Price

The price depends on the assessment, the tests, the therapy and the number of sessions. Aura prepares an individual quote after the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Are tests needed?

Often, yes. The doctor decides after the consultation.

Is this the same as body contouring?

No. Body contouring works on the contours of specific areas. Weight treatment is a medical plan for your overall health.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on the goal and on progress. The doctor reviews the plan at every check-up.
