This will include a full exploration of all the optionsavailable for each client, which, if that includes medication in conjunctionwith diet and exercise, will involve a simple, and painless, injection. The treatments act by mimicking a natural hormone whichregulates appetite and food intake.
This hormone is released into the gut aftereating, making the person feel full, therefore the appetite is reduced. It alsohelps make the tummy feel fuller for longer, which leads to less calorie intakeand, ultimately, weight loss. “Most of my clients have struggled with weight most of theirlives and tried different diets with no success,” Anna explained.
“This is alife-changing service that completely changes the relationship with food; youeat far less, but are not hungry, nor have cravings.” A high level of care, and attention to detail, is also a bigpart of the service being offered at Borders Aesthetics, and Anna, who has 18years’ experience as a pharmacist, says she is dedicated to making sure everyclient feels relaxed, and safe. “Sometimes trying something new can be daunting, but I wouldadvise anyone who has reservations, to come for a chat so I can give them allthe information about the programme, and discuss any concerns”, she assured.
The weight-loss service is already proving popular andwell-received, and as a certified partner of The National Medical Weight LossProgramme, each client at Borders Aesthetics is guaranteed special treatment. Anna stated: “Some online pharmacies are selling theseproducts, but don’t offer any support, so when anything goes wrong such as sideeffects, there is no-one to turn to. I offer one-to-one support, this is notjust giving out medication, which is very important.
” Indeed, as part of a medically supervised programme, anyonewho takes part is monitored throughout. Borders Aesthetics also boasts a closed support group, wherepeople on the programme can enjoy additional chats and help from people alreadyon treatment. For anyone wishing to lose weight after previous failedattempts and diets, this new treatment being provided at Borders Aesthetics maybe the key to finally starting a successful journey.
It has certainly proved tobe a dream-come-true for practitioner Anna, who added: “It has transformed theway I see myself and food. I feel like a different person.” For more information email or click .
