WEIGHT MANAGEMENT WITH LASER
Excessive weight and obesity are a real problem and a burden on the health system. Millions of Canadians are overweight (more than 6 million to be exact) and almost 3 million suffer from some form of obesity.
Canadians spend billions of dollars annually on weight loss products but weight loss persists with failed attempts at weight control. People are even turning to surgery as a weight loss option which is a drastic measure with unwanted side effects. Excess weight is now considered more of a medical issue than a cosmetic one. Being overweight is a risk factor for many conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. The good news is that maintaining a healthy weight can reduce your risk and it’s never too late to start, provided you choose an effective program that suits your individual needs.
Excessive eating and binging is often a result of increased stress levels, frustrations and anxiety. Low light laser therapy is a popular natural way to loose weight by relieving the temptation of excessive eating. The laser is applied to pressure points in the ear and body which trigger the release of endorphins. The application of this technology is actually a combination of eastern and western philosophies that has been successful in treatment of many medical conditions.
Using laser to target pressure points works to control weight loss by:
ENDORPHIN RELEASE: With diet changes, many people experience cravings, which can lead to binge eating. Cravings in the body are often due to a lack of endorphins. Laser application can help to balance out the cravings by helping the body in its release of endorphins.
REDUCE STRESS: An increase in the “stress hormone” cortisol can alter the metabolism. Through the release of endorphins, the “stress hormone” can be neutralized.
SUPPORT DIGESTION: Cold laser can support the body to generate an efficient digestive process.
We recommend a series of 10 treatments, but each client’s weight loss goals will be different from the next. We recommend the initial treatment followed by two more sessions that same week, with a day interval between treatments. The second week we recommend the client come in 3 times, also leaving a day interval between treatments. The remainder of the treatments is then scheduled once a week.
During your first visit with us, we will assess your individual needs and create a comprehensive treatment plan for you. Treatments will be designed to address your individual imbalances and will also help to support you in reaching your weight loss goals. It is important to remember that our weight loss program is not a quick fix. By working with us and committing to long-term goals, you will experience positive changes in your overall health including maintaining a healthy body weight. It is crucial to remember, that any effective weight loss program requires diligence, effort and patience on the part of the patient. You must also be in the right frame of mind in order to focus and successfully achieve realistic and enduring goals. Low level lasesr therapy is often combined with Cellulite Treatments for optimal body shaping.
