Lose Weight Safely at a Med Spa

Spas are a great place to be pampered but for some procedures that involve weight loss procedures, it is better to go to med spa where you are under the care of a physician or other trained medical care providers who know what they are doing and are licensed to do it.

A popular weight loss program offered by a med spa can include medical weight loss treatment programs that involve HCG injections. For anyone who has ever been pregnant you are probably familiar with HCG as the hormone that is secreted by pregnant women. HCG is also helpful in the treatment of breast cancer and in the medically supervised treatment of weight loss. HCG is a naturally occurring protein in the body and when it is injected for weight loss is first created in the lab through sterile cells which makes it safe to use.

HCG, which is short for human chorionic gonadotropin, is glycoprotein hormone and it's been shown to be extremely effective when injected into patients, male or female, for rapid weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a day in conjunction with a low-calorie medically supervised diet.

Part of a medically supervised weight loss program is more than just giving you injections of HCG though, it's also important that you eliminate your food cravings and work to reshape your body which will increase your energy and allow you to enjoy being physically active which will further increase your ability to maintain your artificially obtained weight loss.

This is why visiting a med spa is an even better way to address your weight loss than just using a diet and exercise regimen. HCG injections are a helpful component to a healthy overall weight loss system when it is appropriately managed in a medical setting. If you need to lose weight fast and want to change you’re eating habits and get a jumpstart on your new body this might be a good option for you to consider.

There are some side effects of HCG injections that you should be aware of which is why they should not be done outside of a med spa. Side effects can include migraines or headaches, breast tenderness, irritability and mild swelling or water weight gain. Other less common side effects include depression and inflammation around the injection site. In rare cases people have developed ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. This is a rare but life-threatening condition with symptoms that include nausea, weight gain, pelvic pain, abdominal pain and shortness of breath. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms your doctor will likely want to admit you to the hospital for care and treatment. But again this is an extremely rare reaction to HCG, but one of the reasons you should not have this treatment done unless the med spa is under the supervision of a licensed medical physician.
