A weight loss treatment is a structured approach designed to help a person lose excess body weight safely and effectively. It can involve:
- Lifestyle changes: Customized diet plans, exercise routines, and behavioral therapy to create a sustainable calorie deficit and healthy habits.
- Medications: Prescription drugs that suppress appetite, reduce fat absorption, or boost metabolism, usually for people with obesity or weight-related health risks.
- Non-invasive procedures: Techniques like fat-freezing (cryolipolysis), laser or ultrasound fat reduction, which target specific fat deposits without surgery.
- Surgical options (bariatric surgery): Procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy that reduce stomach size or calorie absorption, typically for severe obesity.
The goal is to reduce excess fat, improve overall health, and support long-term weight management, often combining multiple approaches depending on the individual’s needs and medical profile.
