Excessive weight is not only detrimental to overall health, but can have a devastating effect on self esteem and confidence. When dealing with weight management, addressing underlying psychological factors are pivotal in achieving and maintaining results.

Different options are available depending on the patients presentation. Products such as Aqualyx or Celluform “melt away” stubborn areas of fat which remain despite weight loss. Saxenda assist in obtaining a goal weight by affecting appetite and other factors involved in weight management.

SAXENDA:

Saxenda is an injectable prescription medicine used for adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) who also have weight-related medical problems or obesity (BMI ≥30), and children aged 12-17 years with a body weight above 132 pounds (60 kg) and obesity to help them lose weight and keep the weight off. Saxenda® should be used with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

When you attend for a weight management consultation the focus should not only be on the physical measurements and setting realistic goals, but also to identify underlying psychological factors pivotal in your weight gain. Of late more and more emphasis is being placed on the addictive nature of weight problems. A detailed consultation will exclude contraindications to the treatment, help to set realistic goals and explore dietary and physical activity guidance.

From a personal viewpoint Saxenda offers a novel approach to weigh loss. The safe reduction in appetite with resulting reduction in portion sizes allows seamless integration with modern life!

CELLUFORM and AQUALYX:

These products contain Deoxycholic Acid involved with fat emulsion (dissolving) in the body. Celluform contains Phosphatidyl Choline and Deoxycholic Acid, extremely effective against cellulite, water retention and localised fat.

The products are administered via special injection techniques directly into the affected area and is usually repeated (2 to 4 weekly) until the desired result is achieved. Areas of localised fat under the chin, on the stomach and the thigh area are most often treated.

Most patients report little discomfort during the procedure and there is no “down time”.
