OBESITY

Obesity, overweight, food cravings, and slow metabolism

Excess body weight, difficulty losing weight, constant snacking, food cravings, the yo-yo effect, and trouble maintaining control over eating are among the most common reasons why patients seek effective support.

Many people look for answers to very specific questions:
How to lose weight fast? How to reduce appetite? How to limit snacking? How to lose weight without the yo-yo effect? How to support metabolism?

Acupuncture as a supportive method for weight loss

For years, acupuncture has generated interest as a method to support weight reduction, appetite control, the reduction of food cravings, and the support of metabolic processes.

In our practice, we use implant acupuncture—a discreet method that involves placing microscopic, bioresorbable implants into carefully selected acupuncture points.
The implants typically remain active for about a year, after which they gradually biodegrade and are naturally absorbed by the body.
They are not visible from the outside, allowing the method to remain discreet without affecting daily functioning.

How does implant acupuncture work for weight loss?

In practice, support regarding appetite control, reduced food cravings, easier food management, and working on daily dietary habits is observed in many patients.
In some patients, weight loss is also observed, sometimes up to about 5 kg; however, the effects always depend on the body’s individual response, lifestyle, and daily habits.

When do the first effects appear?

For some patients, the first noticeable changes may appear after about 2 weeks.
They most commonly relate to:

• reduced appetite,
• reaching a feeling of fullness faster,
• limited snacking,
• easier food control,
• support for daily habits,
• greater peace of mind and less urge to reach for food.

A discreet method with no patches and no visible signs

For many patients, it is of great importance that:

• the implants are invisible,
• there is no need to wear visible patches,
• the therapy remains discreet,
• the method does not affect daily functioning at work, home, or during social interactions.

This solution is particularly valued by people who want to work on their body weight, appetite, and daily habits in a discreet manner.

Frequently asked questions

Qualification and safety

Not every patient qualifies for the therapy.
Of key importance are:

• health status,
• causes of overweight or obesity,
• daily habits,
• possible metabolic disorders,
• safety and realistic expectations.

A particularly important element is the proper qualification and detailed assessment conducted by a qualified acupuncturist, the purpose of which is to evaluate the individual response of the body and check whether this method is genuinely justified in a specific case.

The first step

The foundation is a consultation and an individual assessment aimed at checking whether implant acupuncture can provide justified support for overweight, obesity, food cravings, difficulties in appetite control, or working on metabolism.

For many patients, the most important question is:
How to more effectively limit hunger, reduce snacking, and control food more easily without a constant sense of fighting with oneself?
