What is HCG?
What is HCG?
HCG is a hormone secreted by the placenta during pregnancy. Its main purpose during pregnancy is to supply the growing fetus with the nourishment through metabolizing fat from the mother’s body.
Dr. Simeons proposed the method of HCG diet against obesity that became famous among many people around the world. He observed this pattern of fat metabolism in most of the pregnant mothers and found that HCG hormone alters the hypothalamic regulatory centers. Hence, this alteration in the hypothalamus helps to reverse the fat accumulation, which is common in obesity. The entire plan of this proposed HCG diet is to make the hypothalamus to consume unwanted fat that stored in our body when the body is in a low-calorie diet. This situation compels the body’s fat to be used as fuel to run the body and results in depletion of the abnormal fat accumulated reserves.

Ketogenic Diet
Ketogenic Diet
The body uses stored fat for energy. With every successful story, consistency and compliance is the key.
How Does HCG Diet Work?
How Does HCG Diet Work?
The important phase of the HCG diet is when it activates the process of lipolysis (fat breakdown) in the adipose tissue by inhibiting the lipogenesis. This is possible through the HCG’s direct action on the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus is the major organ that regulates our fat stores in the body. The externally given HCG deposit near and on the hypothalamic region and inhibit the process of fat accumulation. Further, the HCG diet increases the speed of fat mobilization from the fat store, hence, increases the discharge of fatty acid from the fat stores. These fatty acids are utilized by the liver and results in the production of energy that is required by the body. These actions of the HCG are intensified when the HCG diet is coupled with a low-calorie diet. This results in average weight loss of 1/2 to 1lb per day.
The hCG treatment program is a customized as minimum time of 23-days of injections(with possible weigh loss of 15lbs or less) follow by 3 days of stric tdieting (total of 26-days) or maxium time of 40 injections(with possible weight loss of 20lbs or more), follow by 3-days of strict dieting (43-days) includes weekly visits with the Wellness and Aesthetics Nurse Practitioner to adjust your dose as needed, daily injections (at home) of the hCG hormone, and a specific diet and maintenance plan to optimize your results. With a personalized plan for it had been shown that patients have seen up to a 20 lb weight-loss over the first 40 days of the program.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers
As you age, your skin naturally starts losing its texture, elasticity, and strength. The smile lines, the crow’s feet and even the frown lines become evident as the years pass. Dermal fillers can be one of the effective solutions for aging skin. When they are injected, they increase the volume of the face adding more strength to the skin.
Dermal fillers can plump thin lips, enhance the face contour, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improve the total appearance of the skin. The maximum benefits of these fillers can be obtained by people with the early signs of aging. While face-lifting surgery can be an invasive procedure most people hesitate to go through, dermal fillers are a non-invasive and a more affordable option to battle with skin aging.
