I've received fat-dissolving injections; when will I see the results? Also, I'm curious about how your clinic helps with weight loss.
You will typically notice changes about 1 to 2 weeks after the injection. However, post-treatment management is more critical. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we go beyond simply removing fat; we focus on creating a 'metabolic environment' where your body naturally burns fat, addressing the root cause of your constitution to prevent the yo-yo effect.
I have personally experienced the frustration of aggressive fasting and intense exercise, only to find my health depleted and the weight returning. It was a dizzying cycle. While injections can temporarily dissolve fat in specific areas, if the overall 'flow' of the body is blocked, the fat will quickly return.
Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) approaches weight loss through the following steps:
1. Resolving Stagnation of Qi and Blood: We first eliminate 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis/stagnant blood) and 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid/metabolic waste). Just as you cannot put new furniture in a room filled with trash, we must first clear the waste.
2. Restoring Metabolic Function: We treat 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function). When the Spleen is weak, the body fails to utilize energy efficiently and tends to store it as fat.
3. Constitution-Based Prescriptions: We prescribe herbal medicine tailored to each patient's specific caloric expenditure efficiency. This is not about blindly cutting weight, but about restoring the body's internal balance.
4. Maintenance and Stabilization: We provide metabolic management strategies to ensure that your reduced weight becomes your body's new 'set point.'
Weight loss is not merely about reducing numbers on a scale; it is about preparing your body to maintain that weight comfortably. Instead of struggling through trial and error alone, please visit us so we can assess your current physical condition together.
