Lose Weight  Without Exercise: LipoSlim AcuDietSM

What is LipoSlim AcuDietSM? What Conditions Can Be Treated?
Acupuncture Weight Loss
Chinese medicine attributes weight gain to prolonged irregularity in eating and living habits, which impede blood flow and causes an imbalance of the body’s Qi. As a result, extraneous fat cells build up too quickly to be processed. Small changes like this are undetectable by modern day equipment, and many do not realize the detrimental health effects until they are already overweight. LipoSlim AcuDietSM not only achieves weight loss by targeting the problem at the body’s core, but also rebalances the body’s Qi and blood flow during the process.
LipoSlim AcuDietSM is a weight loss regimen combining acupuncture with advanced Short-Infrared and electro impulse treatments. It is completely painless, safe, and has no side effects. In addition, it can also help relieve stress and improve overall health.

The benefits of LipoSlim AcuDietSM are:
1.  Skin does not lose elasticity
2.  Combines nutrition, sculpting, and fitness in one
3.  Exercise is not required
4.  Unlikely to regain the weight

How does acupuncture achieve weight loss?
Acupuncture can target specific pressure points that control the appetite, returning it to a normal state before the weight gain began. In addition, it can improve the immune system and increase metabolism, helping dissolve fat cells while ridding the body of unwanted toxins.

When and What Results Might Be Expected? How long does the results last?

LipoSlim AcuDietSM pinpoints fat cells in targeted areas and work best in the abdominal and buttocks regions.

The effects can be long term and weight loss can be gradual, but continual, even after treatment. With treatment, weight loss is accelerated but sensible eating and living habits are still recommended to make the effects long lasting. Patients also report having smoother and firmer skin as a side effect of LipoSlim AcuDietSM.

What is the recovery like? When can I return to work and activities?

A typical regimen lasts 5 weeks, one to twice a week, and about 30 minutes each session. Results vary depending on individual body types and health conditions, but the average person can lose anywhere from 4 up to 20 pounds in a regimen. Some may feel temporary soreness, swelling, or numbness during the session.

LipoSlim AcuDietSM
is not only a holistic approach to weight loss, but for those who opt for liposuction LipoSlim AcuDietSM can dramatically decrease the likelihood of post-surgery weight gain. Patients who have completed surgery may also benefit from LipoSlim AcuDietSM as it accelerates recovery and eliminates swelling. You may return to work and regular activities immediately.

Any treatments to help maintain or enhance my results?

LipoSlim AcuDietSM can be combined with auricular pressure massage as well as herbal formulas to enhance metabolism and fat cell excretion. Controlling calorie and nutrition intake also help greatly.

BEAUTIFUL LEGS: RF Vein VNUS ClosureSM

What is RF Vein VNUS Closure? What conditions may be treated?
When varicose and spider veins become prominent and numerous on the legs, sclerotherapy alone may not be sufficient to treat these unsightly and uncomfortable veins.

VNUS Closure, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure is 90% effective, uses local anesthesia, requires about one hour, and has only a weekend recovery. By using ultrasound guided radiofrequency energy through a small catheter inserted in the knee area, this procedure virtually eliminates the cause of unsightly veins by closing the root source of the leaking veins. Patients usually report feeling little, if any, pain during or after the procedure. 
Correctable conditions include leg heaviness, fatigue, swelling, and prominent varicose and spider veins, especially those not improved with sclerotherapy alone.

Recovery is minimal. Temporary swelling and bruising are expected during the first few days. Patients usually report feeling little, if any, pain during or after the procedure. Most patients can resume normal activities after a weekend. For a few weeks following the procedure, you should follow a regular walking regimen but refrain from strenuous activities or prolonged periods of standing or sitting.
Compression stockings are required during this period and for maintenance.
 
Any treatment to help maintain or enhance my results?
Minor adjustments, maintenance, or further enhancements can often be done non-surgically with procedures such as additional Sclerotherapy. More extensive changes may require further surgical procedures such as radiofrequency or laser ablation, vein ligation and/or removal.
