Going viral on the internet: Can "slimming pens" and "weight loss pens" help you drop your weight dramatically? Doctors crack

Recently, a weight loss treatment method called "slimming pen", "weight loss injection", "weight loss pen"... has become popular in the market. Many people who want to lose weight are flocking to it and eager to try it. What exactly are slimming pens and weight loss injections? Can they really help lose weight?

Obesity is the root of all diseases

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.

The main component is incretin GLP-1 analog

Plastic surgeon Huang Zhihong said that in the past, many people who consulted at the medical beauty clinic said that they had obesity problems, but they often hit a wall during the weight loss process and the results were not as expected, so they went to the medical beauty clinic for help, hoping that through the professional medical technology of medical beauty, they could quickly and effectively improve their obesity but not the appearance problems. The slimming pen has been very popular recently. It is said that you can easily lose weight by injecting it once a day. What exactly is this slimming pen?

Products such as "slimming pens", "weight loss injections", and "weight loss pens" are mostly aimed at reducing weight by injection. The most popular slimming pen recently refers to a GLP-1 analogue whose main ingredient is an incretin GLP-1 analogue. Clinical trials have found that GLP-1 derivatives can help patients with type 2 diabetes control blood sugar and achieve weight loss effects. Most patients with type 2 diabetes have obesity problems caused by poor diet.

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 the effect of weight loss.

The slim pen is a prescription drug, and the dosage is tailor-made

Huang Zhihong specifically reminded that the Slim Pen is a prescription drug and people should not purchase it online without consulting a doctor. The dosage must be used gradually according to the doctor's instructions, which will help reduce or avoid the uncomfortable reactions of dizziness and nausea.

Since the dosage of the slim pen varies from person to person, you can discuss with your doctor and make adjustments based on your situation to find the dosage plan that suits you best. People are also reminded that before using the product, they need to arrange a blood test to understand their own condition first. It is especially not recommended for people with a history of medullary thyroid cancer or a family history of the disease.

Only by combining diet control and good exercise habits can you maintain your body shape for a long time

If you want to have a good body shape, you must first understand that weight and body shape are two different things. In past consultations at medical beauty clinics, I have seen many thin female friends who have abdominal or thigh obesity due to lack of exercise. People are also reminded that when using the Slim Pen to lose weight, they must keep in mind that the Slim Pen is an auxiliary tool for weight loss, helping you to lose weight more easily and have more firm willpower to achieve your weight loss goals.

Huang Zhihong emphasized that after losing weight, if you want to further sculpt local lines, it is recommended to consider combining it with medical beauty treatments. There is no single method that can prevent you from gaining weight forever. You must combine diet control with exercise habits to maintain a healthy body shape for a long time.
