OVERWEIGHT TREATMENT IN IBIZA
"BYE BYE, EXTRA KILOS!
WELCOME TO YOUR BEST VERSION!"
Being overweight is an increase in body weight above a certain pattern considered healthy depending on factors such as gender, age or height. Excess weight is an increasingly worrying problem in our society, which has increased alarmingly in recent years. Hence, it now affects more than half of the population. Being overweight and obese are apparent risk factors in the onset of various diseases and can even lead to death from respiratory or cardiac problems. The World Health Organisation has declared obesity the epidemic of the 21st century.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY
Being overweight and obesity are closely related concepts, as they refer to excess body fat. The main difference between overweight and obesity is that the overweight person suffers from a higher proportion of fat than the obese person.
Another difference between obesity and overweight is that the former is a significant risk factor for pathologies such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, bone problems, heart disease, respiratory problems, liver and kidney problems, sleep problems and many others. In addition, the risks for surgical interventions or the use of anaesthesia are multiplied compared to the normal-weight population. For all these reasons, obesity in itself is already considered a disease or disorder. Being overweight increases the risk of suffering from these pathologies, but not to such a high degree that it is viewed as a condition of the subject, not a disease.
FACTORS LEADING TO OVERWEIGHT
Poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle are the leading causes of overweight. In addition, there are also genetic factors that may predispose to weight gain. Metabolic diseases and the use of certain medications can also cause this problem. Genetic and metabolic factors are usually more strongly involved in obesity. To prevent overweight and obesity, it is also important to avoid stress and get enough sleep.
HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT
One of the most common ways of detecting whether you are overweight or obese is to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). This parameter is used to account for the level of body fat by calculating the ratio of weight to height. You can calculate yours by dividing your weight in kilos by your height in metres squared. A person with a BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, while a BMI over 30 is considered obese.
TREATMENTS AGAINST OVERWEIGHT
A healthy diet and an active lifestyle are essential to prevent or solve obesity and overweight. At Eiviestetic, we have nutrition experts who will analyse your particular case in detail, not only from an aesthetic point of view but also so that you can acquire a responsible and healthy diet. After an initial visit, we will carry out an anthropometric study, a history and a nutritional survey to prepare a fully personalised diet for you. If necessary, we also collaborate with the Endocrinology and Nutrition Unit of the Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario. We can even assess the need for obesity surgery in the Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario Surgery Unit.
But in addition to eating a balanced diet and exercising, several aesthetic treatments can help you reshape your figure and eliminate accumulated fat.
Cyclone is a revolutionary device that combines several techniques, such as radiofrequency massage, which combats fluid retention, and the HIFU ultrasound technique, which eliminates localised fat. Radiofrequency eliminates localised fat to prevent flaccidity and cavitation, which fights fat in larger areas.
Vanquish is a modern technology that reduces stomach and love handles fat for good with a non-invasive method. It is a radiofrequency device that targets accumulated fat without damaging nearby tissues. It is a highly effective and very safe system.
In addition, there are also shock waves, which use various types of waves to effectively eliminate cellulite and accumulated fat . These waves break up the adipocytes and activate the circulation and drainage of the desired area. They also stimulate the creation of new collagen.
We can combine these aesthetic treatments with body mesotherapy, pressotherapy or lymphatic massage.
