OBESITY

Obesity could be a combination of the following :

• The genes you inherited from your parents
• How well your body burn food and energy
• Your eating and exercising habits
• Your surroundings
• Psychological factors

Consequences of Obesity :

• Shorter life expectancy
• Compared to people of normal weight . obese people have a 50% to 100% increased risk of dying prematurely
• Obese people have more risk for :
  Diabetes (type-2) , Joint problems, High blood pleasure, Heart disease, Gallbladder problems, Certain types of cancer ( breast, uterine ,colon), Digestive disorders ,Breathing difficulties, Psychological problems such as depression, Problems with fertility & Pregnancy, Urinary Incontinence .

 Difficulties with day-to-day living & social well being :

• Normal tasks becomes harder when you are obese , as movement is more difficult
• The person tend to tire more quickly and you find yourself short of breath
• Negative self image ,Social isolation, Discrimination

What are the causes of obesity?

• Poor Digestion puts on the Pounds
• Energy Balance
• Life style and eating habits. 

Dieting, exercise and medication have long been regarded as the conventional methods to acieve weight loss .Sometimes these efforts are successful in the short term. However ,for people who are morbidly obese ,the results rarely last . For many ,this can translate into yo- yo  syndrome, where patients continually gain and lose weight with the possibility of serious psychological and health consequences

What are the disadvantages of having surgical treatment ?

Laproscopy is a surgical procedure ,whereby a surgeon gains access to the abdominal cavity by way of small incisions in the abdominal wall and the Adjustable Lap- Band procedure is performed via a laproscopy as well as vertical Gastrectomy .

The procedures like Bariatric Surgery create restricted stomach space in the upper portion of stomach causes a longer lasting fullness because the nerves that signal the brain ,when you are full located in the upper area of the stomach.

Liposuction use negative pressure in an artificially wet environment to remove adipose tissue from the body. Fluid is lost along with the fat, and it is replaced during the procedure to prevent shock, so the patient should receive intravenous fluids during and immediately after surgery. In the tumescent and super-wet techniques, the anesthetic fluid that is injected may cause , the collection of fluid in the lungs.

The risk and complications are- gastrointestinal track leak, bowel obstruction , chronic symptoms of nausea, vomiting & abdominal pain, protein , vitamin and mineral deficiency , hair loss, internal bleeding ,nerve problems, infection, balloon part leakage, slippage or erosion of the silicone band , anesthesia and other complications.

The combination of these factors can greater hazards for the infection; delays in healing; the formation of fat clots or blood clots, fluid loss all occurred when large amount of fat is removed, friction burns, and drug reactions - complete dependence on the surgery skills are its main disadvantages.

The most common weight loss approach is eat less, eat sensibly and exercises more. . The National Institutes of Health report that 90% of the people who participates in diets and weight reduction programs do not experience significant weight loss. The conventional approach to weight problems, focusing on fat diets or weight loss drugs, may leave you with just as much weight and the additional burden of ill health.

Many different cosmetic procedures to re-contour the body into a more idealized form.

Massage Therapies:
Massage therapies with / without a combination of radio frequency (IR), or Laser Treatments which induce heating at different skin levels . Other minimally invasive methods use injection of medications that dissolves fat. All these procedures act to mobilize fat from the fat cells and redistribute lymphatic fluid rather than destroying the fat cells themselves.

Destruction of fat cells in natural metabolic method (Non-surgical)
Lipolysis is a safe, painless non- surgical treatment. This process sends ultra sound energy into problematic area to destroy fat, where membranes of the fat cells are disrupted , releasing triglycerides into the interstitial fluid ,where they are enzymatically cleaved by fat cell associated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) ,to generate free fatty acids and glycerol. These free fatty acids , as albumin A533; bound lipoprotein complexes , and glycerol are transported to the liver or to the other cell as energy sources.

LIPOLYSIS
DESTRUCTION OF FAT & ITS CELLS

This process sends ultra sound energy into problematic area to destroy fat, where adipocyte membranes are disrupted , releasing triglicerides into the interstitial fluid ,where they are enzymatically cleaved by fat cell associated lipoprotein lipase (LPL) ,to generate free fatty acids and glycerol. These free fatty acids , as albumin – bound lipoprotein complexes , and glycerol are transported to the liver or to the other cell as energy sources.

Why is lipolysis better?
In Lipolysis, ultra sound beams are sent into the problematic areas to destroy fat cells. You don’t have to have your life interrupted since recovery is very quick. There is virtually no pain (there is no heating up of the skin) plus no bruises, scars or swelling. This process simply sends ultra sound energy to target direct areas to help you to get rid of stubborn fat ,which are resistant to diet & exercise.

What happens to the fat after treatment?
When the fat cell membrane is destroyed, triglycerides are released into the interstitial fluid between cells. They are then transported –through the vascular(veins) and lymphatic systems to the liver and processed by known metabolic ways.

Can you see results straight away?
There is a gradual clearance of fat over the first week, but on the second and third week the solid components of disrupted fat cells- the membrane ,nucli, etc- are cleared by the immune system ,so the final result is visible only after 28 days.

Is there is any side effects / risk after this treatment ?
There have not yet been any documented side effects. The same ultrasound technology used in pregnancy ,is used in lipolysis. When having the procedure you may feel slight heat on the destructing area, which is bearable and it doesn’t require any medication / anesthesia for the treatment . The process is selective and destroys only the skin of the fat cells.

How many treatments do you need?
Obsesity patients would require multiple treatments however some patients who aren’t particularly overweight will only need two sessions ,who want a perfect shape for the body.

Does the treatment remove the fat cells permanently?
No , it is not destructing the whole of the body’s fat cells. each time it is destructing only one inch of fat and its cells , if the patient is having more than three inch of fat he has to do the treatment on that area two to three times, depending upon his/her metabolic rates.

Key to Slimming

Obesity is a condition of excess accumulation of fat in the body, resulting in body weight of more than 20% above the average recommended for a specific height.  

Before	Before	After

Compared to people of normal weight, people who are obese have increased risk of mortality and are prone to various ailments such as diabetes, joint problems, high blood pleasure, heart diseases, gallbladder problems, cancer and so on.

Before	After

Obesity can also cause difficulty in carrying out day-to-day activities and may even lead to mental depression, social isolation and several psychological problems.

While there are a number of surgical treatments available for slimming, most of them have adverse effects on health. At Slimfx Speciality Centre, slimming is made possible by Lipolysis, an easy, painless and non-surgical method which has been proved to be an effective procedure for destructing fat cells safely.

Lipolysis: Destruction of fat and its cells
Lipolysis involves sending ultrasound energy into the problematic area to remove excess fat. As a result the fat cells are disrupted releasing triglycerides which are converted into free fatty acids and glycerol by various metabolic processes. They are then transported through the veins and lymphatic systems to the liver or other cells as energy source by way of natural pathways in the body thus getting rid of unwanted fat.  

Before Destruction	Immediately After Destruction

The treatment can be applied to:  

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Hands
• Breast
• Gynaecomastia
• Buttocks & Love Handles

Advantages
Advantages of this procedure are many. Recovery is quick and there is virtually no pain, bruises, scars or swelling and no heating up of the skin. Also the process destroys only the skin of the fat cells and does not harm the body in any way. Medication and anaesthesia are not required for the treatment.  

Before 95kg	After 78 kg

The result
During the first week, there is a gradual clearance of fat and a reduction in the body circumference may be noticed. The removal of solid components of disrupted fat cells takes place all through the second and third week. The final result will be visible after around 28 days. 

Before Destruction	Immediately After Destruction	After Destruction (28 Days)

Number of sessions
Every session will destruct about one inch of fat and its cells. Patients who want to make their body in shape will need only two sessions while obese patients would require multiple treatments to address all the problematic areas of the body.  

Before- 102Kg	After- 80.8 kg

Side effects
Lipolysis uses the same technology which is used in pregnancy and there are no documented side effects. When undergoing the procedure you may feel slight heat on the destructing area, which is usually bearable.
