Successful long term weight loss is incredibly difficult for most people to achieve. These days more and more people are turning to acupuncture weight loss treatments to handle their weight loss problems once and for all. Dr Koh treats the root causes behind weight gain with the approach of Eastern Medicine, Acupuncture and a painless treatment using the latest in weight loss machines - LIPODREN.
Weight loss programs must holistically treat the person in order to obtain long lasting and life changing results. Dr Koh's weight loss treatments are beneficial as unlike with certain medications there are no harmful side effects and no chance for addition. There are no painful surgeries and for most it is a very relaxing experience.
Acupuncture stimulates the body to release endorphins, the body's own feel good pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture weight loss treatments help control appetite by releasing these endorphins. Treatment is also used to lower the output of the pituitary gland, reduce cravings, decrease natural appetite and can also lower insulin and lipid levels in the blood.
During the initial consultation an examination will be performed to understand the main causes of any excess weight. Once the root causes are identified a multi-targeted approach to weight loss treatment using acupuncture, the LIPODREN machine, detox, vibration exercises, pressotherapy and ear acupuncture will be used. As mentioned, we are the ONLY clinic in Santa Clarita to offer LIPODREN equipment. The results obtained through LIPODREN are far better than those obtained using any other non-surgical therapeutic technique. There have been over 10 years of research to make this the first and only weight loss machine to be certified by the Korean Oriental Association for Study of Obesity.
The following explains just exactly how LIPODREN works:
Step 1- Electrolipolysis
Extremely fine needles are inserted directly into the fat layer. Fat cells are stimulated electrically and triglycerides melted into free fatty acid. This fat will be eliminated in Step 3.
Step 2- Firming
Using the same set of needles as in the previous step, a second type of current is passed which has causes muscle to tighten, which helps to improve the aesthetic appearance of the treated area.
Step 3- Drainage
The fat melted in step one has to drain out of the body. In final phase of the treatment an excitatory motor current passes through. This has the function of producing a sequential and sustained muscular contraction. The action of the muscular contraction and relaxation produces a pumping effect which facilitates the reabsorption of liquids. Any remaining liquids are eliminated through urination.
This is just one of the machines in our weight loss program. In conjunction with acupuncture and LIPODREN, Dr Koh also uses:
Detox
The Ionic Detox Foot Bath treatment is a safe, straightforward process. It simply involves immersing the feet into a foot bowl filled with water while a series of timed positive and negative ions that the system emits, invigorates, re-conditions and synchronizes the body's natural ionic flow. The result is that your body can detox safely and at it's own pace by mobilizing residues and waste stored within the body. Detox foot patches can also be used.
Vibration Exerciser
Studies have shown that our 10-minute workout with this machine (3-5 times a week) reduces more fat than general 1-hour aerobic (3-5 times a week) exercise. This workout system produces toning and strengthening of muscles without any weight lifting. It restores muscle mass and stimulates lymph nodes which reduces fat and enhances digestion.
Pressotherapy
The lymphatic system plays a fundamental role in clearing toxins from the body. Pressotherapy treatment improves vascular and lymphatic circulation resulting in detoxification and oxygenation of the tissues. The machnine is like a large pressue cuff and constricts and relaxes while on various parts of your body. Treatment is very relaxing and an essential component of any treatment for cellulite.
Ear Acupuncture
In ear acupuncture, based on the ancient practice of Chinese acupuncture, specific parts of the ear correspond to specific parts of the body. By stimulating points on the ear with needles or medicated seeds, Dr Koh can help the person control their weight, control cravings, and balance their body's weight.
Dr Koh advises his patients that weight loss treatments need to be repeated on a rather regular basis in order to maintain the effects. Attention must also be paid to diet and exercise with guidelines provided by Dr Koh on the kinds of foods to avoid.
If you are looking to lose weight in a natural, healthy and painless way then our program will be perfect for you.
