Private Practice Dr. Ackermann

Weight & Metabolism:
When biology meets willpower.
Being overweight is rarely a question of lack of discipline, but often the result of complex bodily processes. Diets fail because they work against your biology.
Our approach to medical weight management combines modern active substances (e.g. GLP-1), accurate hormone analyses, and close medical supervision. We help your body to work “with you” again—rather than “against you.”

Sustainable weight reduction under medical supervision. Therapy for metabolic blockages, hormonal disorders and the use of modern medications (e.g., Wegovy) when indicated.

Why am I not losing weight?

Perhaps you know the feeling: You eat less, stay active – but the scale simply doesn’t budge. Often, physiological blockages are to blame: an undetected underactive thyroid, beginning insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances.

This is where our medical approach steps in: We precisely analyze your blood work and hormone status. If we find a cause, we treat it in a targeted manner. If medically indicated (BMI > 27/30), we can support you with modern medications (“weight loss injection”) that help regulate appetite and curb cravings.

Termin & Details

Medical Weight Loss in Herzogenaurach

Patients from Erlangen, Nuremberg, and Fürth come to us because they do not want online prescriptions, but real medical supervision. We closely monitor your values during weight loss to minimize side effects and ensure success.

Our concept is holistic: We combine internal medicine (metabolism, hormones) with aesthetics. After successful weight loss, we are happy to support you in restoring skin quality and contours (e.g., through firming procedures) to their best possible shape.

“Obesity is often stigmatized in our society. But it is a chronic condition, not a character flaw. As doctors, our mission is to give you the medical tools you need to finally make this fight fair. When your metabolism is back in balance, joy for life returns – and this radiates through your presence.”

Frequently asked questions about wrinkle treatment

Verschreiben Sie die “Abnehmspritze” (Wegovy/Ozempic)?

Ja, wenn die medizinischen Voraussetzungen stimmen (in der Regel BMI > 30 oder BMI > 27 mit Begleiterkrankungen). Wir prüfen vorher genau, ob Kontraindikationen vorliegen. Es handelt sich um ein verschreibungspflichtiges Medikament, das ärztliche Aufsicht erfordert, kein Lifestyle-Produkt.

Was ist der Unterschied zur Fett-weg-Spritze (Lipolyse)?

Das ist wichtig zu unterscheiden: Die Lipolyse (Injektions-Lipolyse) nutzen wir für kleine, hartnäckige Polster an Kinn oder Bauch (“Body Contouring”). Sie dient nicht der Gewichtsabnahme. Das medizinische Abnehmen wirkt im ganzen Körper auf Stoffwechsel und Sättigung und reduziert das Gesamtgewicht.

Checken Sie auch Hormone?

Absolut. Das ist oft der erste Schritt. Wir analysieren Schilddrüsenwerte, Blutzucker (HbA1c) und Geschlechtshormone. Oft ist eine nicht erkannte Hormonstörung der Grund, warum Diäten bisher gescheitert sind. Wir setzen an der Ursache an.
