Who is medical weight loss therapy suitable for?

Medical weight loss therapy is suitable for adults who are overweight or obese and have not achieved sustainable results through diet and exercise alone, particularly those with contributing factors such as hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, PCOS, or metabolic syndrome. It is also suitable for patients preparing for body contouring surgery who need to reach a stable target weight first.

How is this different from surgical weight loss?

Medical weight loss does not involve surgery. It uses clinical assessment, nutritional intervention, IV micronutrient support, and supervised monitoring to support the body's own weight management processes. Surgical weight loss procedures such as bariatric surgery are not offered at Aesthetic Studio. Patients seeking surgical weight loss are referred to appropriate specialists.

How long does the program run?

The program is structured over three to six months with regular follow-up appointments. Sustainable weight loss is one half to one kilogram per week at a safe pace. Dr. Bharathi adjusts the protocol at each review based on your progress, blood markers, and how your body is responding.

Can weight loss therapy be combined with body contouring?

Body contouring procedures such as liposuction are most effective and produce the most predictable results when a patient is at or near their target body weight. Dr. Bharathi recommends completing the weight loss phase first and then planning body contouring for residual localized fat deposits that do not respond to the weight loss protocol.

The Difference Between Medical Weight Loss and a Diet Program

A diet program tells you what to eat. Medical weight loss starts by understanding why your weight is not responding to what you are already doing. Hormonal factors, metabolic rate, nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle patterns all contribute to weight that resists standard efforts.

At Aesthetic Studio, the weight loss assessment begins with a clinical evaluation. Dr. Bharathi reviews your medical history, current medications, metabolic markers, and body composition before recommending any intervention. The plan is built around your specific physiology, not a generic calorie target.

What the Program Includes

✓ Initial clinical assessment and body composition analysis
✓ Blood panel review including thyroid, insulin resistance, hormonal markers
✓ Personalised nutritional protocol designed for your metabolic profile
✓ IV therapy support including glutathione, vitamins, and micronutrients where indicated
✓ GFC or PRP for skin tightening as weight loss progresses, where relevant
✓ Body contouring consultation for residual fat deposits once target weight is achieved
✓ Regular follow-up and protocol adjustment based on progress
