Medical Weight Loss in Houston, Texas

 

Weight Gain and Weight Loss is different for everyone!

Here at our clinic, we understand that you and your situation deserve to be handled individually and with excellent care through your health journey.  Because there are so many possible causes of weight gain and also many things that can both hinder and assist with weight loss, we take a very unique and individual approach.  We’re here to support you and can’t wait to help you get started.

What are the first steps?

The most important first step is to call our office today so that a patient liaison can gather a bit of information from you and determine if our clinic is a good fit for you to come in and have a work-up.

Our staff is all very kind and encouraging and I know you are going to really enjoy your call.  Depending on your particular situation, your workup may include different things.

What are some of the things we utilize for weight loss?

In-office Scan

We have a unique scan that we use to capture multiple pieces of data including your body composition, your weight, and the measurements of each area – your hips, waist, thighs, etc you’ll also be able to see the body fat percentage of each body part.  Additional data helps us determine potential health risks.

Lab work

We utilize lab work to identify if there are any biochemical imbalances that could be contributing to both your weight gain and if any of those imbalances can also be hindering or making it more difficult to lose weight.

Diet & Exercise

Diet and exercise coaching can be a very important part of someone’s plan.  Our goal is to educate you while giving you support and nurturing through the process so that you have the confidence and ability to manage your own health long-term.

Nutritional Supplementation

In some cases, nutritional supplementation can be very beneficial for individuals to achieve and or maintain their goals.  Remember, every person is unique and so must the approach be.

Hormone Balancing and Peptide Therapy

In some cases, if the hormone imbalance is part of the problem then again, we have fantastic solutions.  Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy and or peptide therapy can be a fantastic help for ant-aging effects, energy, mood, sleep, and YES even body composition.

Body Contouring & Weight Loss Treatments and Therapies

Here at our clinic, we love having the ability to offer some amazing therapies like SculpSure.    Both SculpSure and CoolSculpting are extremely effective for eliminating unwanted fat.  We chose to utilize SculpSure in our office for effectiveness and comfort for the individual.  We have other therapies and machines in our office as well such as Cavitation, and Lipo-Laser Light therapy.

Is Lipo Laser the right choice for you?

Many patients are loving the fantastic & rapid results.  Especially those that combine it with our comprehensive, safe, and Doctor-Supervised Weight Loss Program!

 What makes Invis-Red Lipo Laser Superior?

invisa-RED™ is the only FDA approved, IRB, and Clinically proven device to provide weight reduction, fat reduction and inch loss. Our technology can accomplish scalable weight loss with a precise combination of specific frequencies from both red and infrared laser light energy. The combination of dual coherent frequencies enables the light energy to penetrate deep into adipose tissue (subcutaneous fat) generating a significant response in cellular functions and stimulation of the body’s natural metabolism. invisa-RED™ Technology stimulates lymphatic function and increases the metabolism through the synthesis of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The activation and efficiency of both the lymphatic system and metabolism are essential to achieve a patient’s weight loss goals.

  1. Is invisa-RED™ safe?
  2. Yes: invisa-RED™ laser light energy is part of the range of electromagnetic rays that are absolutely necessary for metabolism and growth of human beings and is also part of the natural light spectrum of sunlight minus the skin damaging UV rays, which is why NASA currently uses this type of energy in space. It is also vibration energy, with which the human body resonates. This is the reason that it can penetrate through the skin.
  1. I don’t know much about invisa-RED™, can you explain it to me?
  2. Sunlight is a combination of visible, UV and infrared light. Infra-red light is longer in wavelength than visible light and starts just after the visible color of red. Infra-red laser light is the safest and healthiest spectrum of sunlight and accounts for 70% of the heating of the Earth, the rest being caused by visible light.  It is therefore understood that a coherent combination of visible light and infra-red laser light offers the most benefits in electromagnetic heating of objects that absorb infrared such as the human body. Other forms of heat such as fire and ceramic heaters, etc, warm a person by heating the surrounding air that touches the person which does not penetrate deeply into the body. Infra-red laser light heat penetrates the skin and is much more effective. Certain infra-red laser light wavelengths also interact with living cells increasing metabolism, energy production, and causing more fuel (calories) to be burned.
  1. What are the benefits of invisa-RED™?
  2. invisa-RED™ produces a combination of near-infrared and infrared light energy (680nm-980nm) The human cells have light sensitive chemicals called chromophores which react to light in this range. When stimulated by energy in this range, the cells produce more ATP which is the energy source that powers every muscle and increases metabolism. Red laser light also causes DNA synthesis in the fibroblasts of the cells which stimulates collagen production which makes the skin more elastic and younger looking. In addition, infrared light increases the production of cytochrome c oxidase enhancing the metabolism and the removal of toxins from the body.

Therapeutic Benefits

Increases blood capillary circulation and vascular activity by promoting improvement in the metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). This facilitates improved regulation of vasodilatation and leads to the formation of new capillaries – This in turn provides additional oxygen and nutrients to accelerate natural tissue healing processes and eventually evokes a cascade of beneficial biochemical processes.

Stimulates synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)—an immediate energy source for muscle contraction and essential in the metabolism of all cellular processes and sustaining living systems.

Relaxes muscles, reduces nerve excitability and stimulates nerve transmission

Reduces scar tissue and stimulates wound healing

Increases lymphatic system activity and relieves edema and discomfort associated with swelling

Stimulates production of collagen—the most important component of wound healing

Increases RNA/DNA synthesis – this stimulates cellular reproduction and facilitates accelerated replacement of damaged cells

Increases production of endorphins and enkephelins from the brain – promoting mood elevation

Stimulates production of adrenals— which facilitate long term resilience to stress

Reduces inflammation and swelling in chronic conditions of arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis

Stimulates fibroblastic activity – promoting repair of connective tissue and formation of collagen fibers

  1. How long has this technology been around?
  2. With extreme popularity in the Beauty Capital of the World South America, invisa-RED™ is now at the forefront of cutting-edge technology for non-invasive weight loss and aesthetics procedures in the U.S as of 2014.
  1. How is invisa-RED™ different from other body slimming technologies?
  2. Other body slimming devices are only able to accomplish temporary inch loss through skin tightening in the area of treatment. invisa-RED™ is the only clinically proven device for weight reduction, fat reduction and inch loss. invisa-RED™ Machines have the ability to adjust power output, pulse, and delay settings to maximize each individual patient, case by case. Patient results are both rapid and concrete. Our technology not only provides true weight loss but also skin tightening, cellulite removal, spot specific contouring, and stretch-mark fading. By combining technology and practical application within our own facilities we have been able to provide what others can only claim.
