What Treatments Are Best For Weight Loss?

Before we talk about the different types of treatments available we need to have a discussion about why weight loss treatments are recommended in the first place. A common misconception made by millions is that weight loss treatments are a form of “cheating” on the traditional healthy diet/exercise plan or are a replacement for those plans. 

In fact, neither of those ideas are the case. Quite the contrary, most weight loss treatments provided by medical aesthetics practice work in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and are less effective without combining the treatments with lifestyle. This is because most weight loss treatments are designed to address the core problem: it is hard to lose weight as an adult. 

Our bodies slow down as we age. Many of the hormones, proteins, and other natural chemical compounds responsible for how our body burns carbs and fats are simply produced at lower rates as we age. Just like with your hair greying or noticing wrinkles, the older we get, the less effective our bodies are at taking care of themselves. Our treatments address and compensate for decreases in hormones, enzymes, or other chemicals in our bodies. 

No treatment is a replacement for a healthy lifestyle, but instead a way of getting more out of your healthy lifestyle. If you have tried dieting and exercising and were upset by a lack of results or a sudden plateau, these treatments might be what you need.
