Obesity is not simply a matter of weight gain.

  • It is an endocrine condition in which hormones such as leptin do not function properly.
  • Fat cells do more than store energy: they secrete dozens of hormones and chemicals, affecting the balance of insulin, thyroid hormones, growth hormone, sex hormones and the sympathetic nervous system, and disrupting energy balance.
  • The original clinic text cites that 95% of people who diet regain their original weight through weight cycling, a point it says should be considered.

Diagnosing obesity

Some fat is difficult to lose despite diet and exercise.When obesity persists, fat can form lumps and uneven skin areas that are difficult to remove even after weight loss.This is called cellulite.안산부인과 (AHN Gynecology) supports healthy weight loss through accurate diagnosis.

Obesity treatment methods

Obesity requires accurate diagnosis and structured treatment by a specialist.

Mesotherapy

Small amounts of medication are injected into areas of cellulite to promote circulation and break down fat.The clinic states that combining medications allows small amounts to be used over a wide area, with fewer side effects.Daily activities are not affected after the procedure.

Medication

Drugs used for obesity treatment are broadly divided into appetite suppressants and fat absorption inhibitors.Long-term use or medication that does not suit your condition may cause side effects, so consultation with a doctor is necessary.
