The "slimming pen" has been a hot topic among the public recently, and even internet celebrities are spreading it. It is said that as long as you inject yourself once a day, you can easily lose weight. What exactly is the "slimming pen"? Is it possible to lose weight without gaining it back? Let’s hear what medical aesthetics specialists have to say?

Clinical trials have found that GLP-1 derivatives can help patients with type 2 diabetes control blood sugar and achieve weight control effects.

The risk factors behind cancer are all related to obesity

As early as 2020, the National Health Administration announced that Taiwan has officially entered the "obese country", with the obesity rate of adults over 18 years old reaching 47.97%. The WHO once pointed out that "obesity" is a chronic disease, and many studies now show that the risk factors behind many cancers are related to obesity. According to medical statistics, the heavier a person is, the higher the incidence of chronic diseases and the mortality rate is relatively higher. Common complications include diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, osteoarthritis, respiratory diseases, cancer, gastroesophageal reflux, gallbladder disease, infertility, etc. In addition to the occurrence of diseases, obese people are also prone to various inferiority complex or negative psychological problems due to their ugly appearance, and in severe cases may even lead to depression.

Huang Zhihong, deputy director of the Cosmetic Medicine Center of Beitou Health Management Hospital, said that in the past, many people who visited the medical beauty clinic said they had obesity problems, but they often hit a wall during the weight loss process and the results were not as expected. They came to the medical beauty clinic for help, hoping that through the professional medical technology of medical beauty, they could quickly and effectively improve the appearance problems caused by obesity.

Doctor: The main ingredient of "Slim Pen" is an incretin GLP-1 analog

What exactly are the weight loss pens, weight loss injections, and slimming pens that have been going viral even on the internet celebrities lately? Vice President Huang Zhihong explained that these are mostly injections to achieve the purpose of reducing weight. The main ingredient of the recently popular "Slim Pen" is an incretin GLP-1 analog. Clinical trials have found that GLP-1 derivatives can help patients with type 2 diabetes control blood sugar and achieve weight control effects. Most patients with type 2 diabetes have obesity problems, which are caused by poor diet.

Weight loss must be combined with diet control and exercise habits so that your body shape can be maintained long-term and healthy.

GLP-1 mainly acts on the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and other systems, and regulates appetite, delays gastric emptying, controls blood pressure and blood lipids, etc., to achieve weight loss. Vice President Huang Zhihong reminded that the Slim Pen is a prescription drug and people should not purchase it online without consulting a doctor. The dosage must be increased gradually according to the doctor's instructions, which will help reduce or avoid the uncomfortable reactions of dizziness and nausea. The dosage of the slim pen varies from person to person and can be adjusted after discussing with the doctor based on the situation. People are also reminded that before using the product, they need to arrange a blood test to understand their own condition. Especially for people with a history of medullary thyroid cancer or a family history of the disease, it is not recommended to use the product.

Weight loss must be combined with diet control and exercise habits to be long-lasting and healthy

Vice President Huang Zhihong emphasized that there is no weight loss method that can prevent you from gaining weight again forever! Weight loss must be combined with diet control and exercise habits so that your body shape can be maintained long-term and healthy. Weight and body shape refer to two different things. In past consultations at medical beauty clinics, I have seen many thin female friends who have obesity in the abdomen or thighs due to lack of exercise.

Finally, the public is reminded that the "Slim Pen" is an auxiliary tool for weight loss. After losing weight, if you want to further refine local lines, it is recommended that you use appropriate fat-reducing methods under the evaluation of a doctor. For example, liposuction technology can extract deep fat, which has low damage to muscle tissue, greatly reduces bleeding, and shortens the recovery period. The extracted fat can be reused after breast surgery and can be filled back into the chest, buttocks, cheeks, pectoralis major, etc. to achieve the ideal body curve.
