- PLUS SOME

Experience weight loss with a degree of difference…..

We’ve done it!
So can you.

 Medically Supervised   Weight Loss

Lose the weight. Never find it again.

We strongly believe that there is no "quick-fix", or a one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss. Each client is treated as an individual with a customized weight loss program; so no matter if your goal is to lose weight for cosmetic reasons or if you have health problems due to obesity, we can help you lose the weight and keep it off. Come see our difference, and the difference medically supervised weight loss can make.

Personalized Medically Supervised Weight Loss Programs

We offer comprehensive medical weight loss programs that are customized to your needs and goals. Each program is designed to help you safely and effectively lose the weight, and most important keep it off – come see our difference; we are unlike any commercial weight loss program out there.

1. Low Calorie Diet (LCD) Program

On this program you will be prescribed high quality medically balanced meal replacements. These nutritionally complete formulas allow us to accomplish 3 things:

1. Monitor exactly how much you are consuming in a given day
2. Provide you with the right amount of nutrition to enter into a fat burning state, while allowing you to maintain optimum health.
3. Help safely break and change your current unhealthy eating patterns

Additionally, the program includes one-on-one comprehensive lifestyle education as well as exercise and counseling to help you lose weight, improve your health, and develop new skills/habits necessary to manage your weight in the future.

2. Modified Calorie Diet Program

On this program you will be prescribed one (1) regular nutritiously balanced meal per day, and replace the rest of your meals with high quality medically balanced meal replacements.

A comprehensive one-on-one lifestyle education program, and exercise and counseling to help you lose weight, improve your health, and develop new skills/habits necessary to sustain your weight loss is also included.

3. Prescription Diet Program

On this program you will be prescribed an appetite suppressant medication to help curb your appetite and help you feel satisfied more quickly. Our doctors, will work with you one-on-one to determine appropriate dosage, as well as help you learn how to eat nutritiously balanced meals to help you burn fat.

And as with all of our programs, you will also receive one-on-one comprehensive lifestyle education as well as exercise and counseling to help you lose the weight, and most importantly keep it off.

Weight Loss with a Degree of Difference.

You’ve tried every diet program out there, and then some. You’ve lost weight and felt good; then, you gained it all back - plus some. When your body loses weight, it goes through numerous physiological and metabolic changes. Medically monitoring and addressing these changes as they occur, helps the body safely and successfully lose weight and keep it off.

In-Depth Medical Evaluation

Before a customized medically monitored weight loss program is created for you, you will undergo an in-depth medical evaluation. Our doctors, will perform the following:

1. A review of your overall health history
2. A review of all of the Medications and supplements that you may be taking to determine if they are preventing you from losing weight.
3. Conduct a comprehensive blood test to check for insulin resistance, thyroid function, and other factors.
4. A physical exam to check overall health.

Using this information, our doctor will create a program that will help you safely and effectively lose weight, and most importantly, keep it off.

Sound Medical Analysis

Our doctors will analyze various factors, including your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and your body’s composition of water, muscle, and fat to accurately predict the minimum amount of weight you will be able to safely lose over a specific period of time.

Safe and Effective Weight Loss

If we diet incorrectly, our body’s natural tendency is to burn muscle before it burns fat. This is why you gain back the weight after stopping a diet – muscle is instrumental in the fat burning process, and why improper dieting can be so unsafe.

Medically supervised weight loss is different. Our medical team will consistently monitor your body composition and will adjust your program accordingly. We will make sure that you are burning fat and not muscle. This monitoring will allow you to have an easier time keeping the weight off in the future.

Behavior Modification and One-on-One Support

Our doctors will work with you on a one-on-one basis to help you see the reason behind why your current nutritional habits are unhealthy and how they have affected you in the past. We will help you learn small modifications you can make to live a healthier lifestyle, and to help you maintain the weight loss you achieve. We are here for you every step of the way.


LipoTropic (Vitamin B12) Injections

Lipotropic nutrients are a class of agents that play important roles in the body's use of fat. These compounds enhance liver and gallbladder's role by decreasing fat deposits and speeding up metabolism of fat and its removal. A credible bariatric physician who has used it successfully for his patients over the past 30 years has perfected the natural ingredients of this formula.

Who are Lipotropic B12 Injections for?

Our doctors, now use this special formula for individuals who are "stuck" in their weight loss attempts and need that extra boost to achieve their goal weight. It can be effective in enhancing an additional 1 pound per week to your current program.

This injection has also been gratefully used for individuals who want to maintain their weight, or prevent re-gain of their lost weight.



hCG - Human Choriogonadotropin

hCG (Human Choriogonadotropin) is a hormone present in both men and women. It is produced in great amounts in the placenta of pregnant females to aid in the control of vital metabolic functions. In non-pregnant persons, and males, on-going research is suggesting that hCG similarly increases metabolism similar to a pregnant female by helping the body release calories stored in fat.

History of hCG Use For Weight Loss

The use of hCG for the medical managment of obesity is based on the extensive research completed in 1954 by world-renowed physician Dr. A.T.W. Simeons.

Dr. Simeons studied extensively and found that in addition to a specific diet, hCG can help safely speed up weight loss. hCG is believed to break down your abnormal body fat, causing you to lose inches. At the same time, it protects your body's good fat and muscle from depleting. That means that you can go on a low calorie food plan and lose weight without the typical problems such as muscle loss and sagging skin.

hCG is approved for treatments other than that for weight managment, and is therefore used Off-Label. Extensive research is on-going around the world with favorable findings.

Benefits of hCG during Weight Loss

On-going research is showing that hCG combined with a Medically Supervised Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) can help:

* Increase loss of Fat during weight loss
* Decrease Irritability & weakness during weight loss
* Improvement in Sleep

The Importance if Vitamin D, probably the most important vitamin in our body....

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is important for good overall health and strong and healthy bones. It’s also an important factor in making sure your muscles, heart, lungs and brain work well and that your body can fight infection.

Your body can make its own vitamin D from sunlight. You can also get vitamin D from supplements and a very small amount comes from a few foods you eat.

The vitamin D that you get in your skin from sunlight, and the vitamin D from supplements, has to be changed by your body a number of times before it can be used. Once it’s ready, your body uses it to manage the amount of calcium in your blood, bones and gut and to help cells all over your body to communicate properly.

What does vitamin D do?

Vitamins are chemicals that are needed by your body for good health. They are vital for everyone and ensure that your body works well, is able to fight illness and heal well.

The link between vitamin D and strong healthy bones was made many years ago when doctors realized that sunlight, which allows you to produce vitamin D, or taking cod liver oil, which contains vitamin D, helped to prevent a bone condition called rickets in children. Today, vitamin D is seen as a vital part of good health and it’s important not just for the health of your bones. Recent research is now showing that vitamin D may be important in preventing and treating a number of serious long term health problems.

Getting the right amount of vitamin D doesn’t depend on the foods you eat! Instead, getting the right amount depends on sun exposure and if you take a supplement with the right amount.

Vitamin D isn’t like most other vitamins. Your body can make its own vitamin D when you expose your skin to sunlight. But your body can’t make other vitamins. You need to get other vitamins from the foods you eat. For example, you need to get vitamin C from fruits and vegetables.

Also what makes vitamin D unique compared to other vitamins, is that when  your body gets its vitamin D, it turns vitamin D into a hormone. This hormone is sometimes called “activated vitamin D” or “calcitriol.”

Getting the right amount of vitamin D doesn’t depend on the foods you eat. To get enough vitamin D you need to expose your skin to sunlight regularly and you may also need to take supplements. This makes getting the right amount a little more complex compared to other vitamins and minerals.

Vitamin D is very important for strong bones. Calcium and phosphorus are essential for developing the structure and strength of your bones, and you need vitamin D to absorb these minerals. Even if you eat foods that contain a lot of calcium and phosphorus, without enough vitamin D, you can’t absorb them into your body. Vitamin D is important for general good health, and researchers now are discovering that vitamin D may be important for many other reasons outside of good bone health. Some of the functions of the body that vitamin D helps with include:

Immune system, which helps you to fight infection

Muscle function

Cardiovascular function, for a healthy heart and circulation

Respiratory system –for healthy lungs and airways

Brain development

Anti-cancer effects

Doctors are still working to fully understand how vitamin D works within your body and how it affects your overall health.

If your body doesn’t get enough vitamin D to keep it healthy, this is called vitamin D deficiency. Severe vitamin D deficiency can sometimes cause a condition called rickets in children and a condition called osteomalacia in adults. Both of these conditions cause soft, thin, and brittle bones.

A lack of vitamin D has also been linked to some other conditions such as cancer, asthma, type-II diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, Alzheimer’s and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s and type-I diabetes.

Your body gets vitamin D mainly from sunlight, though very small amounts can also be found in a few foods. You can also get vitamin D by taking supplements.

How does Vitamin D work?

Vitamin D manages calcium in your blood, bones and gut and helps cells all over your body to communicate properly.

Vitamin D mainly comes from your skin when it is exposed to sunlight. After that, your body goes through a number of chemical processes to change it so that your body can use it.

When your skin is exposed to the sun, it produces vitamin D and sends it to your liver. If you take supplements or eat foods that contain vitamin D, your gut also sends the vitamin D to your liver. From here, your liver changes it to a substance called 25(OH)D. When your doctor talks about your vitamin D levels, he means the amount of 25(OH)D you have in your blood.

This chemical is sent all over your body where different tissues, including your kidney, turn it into activated vitamin D. This activated vitamin D is now ready to perform its duties. From here, it gets a little complicated, but you can think of activated vitamin D working in two ways:

Manages calcium in your blood, bones and gut

Helps cells all over your body to communicate properly

As you can see, vitamin D goes a long way from its original form from the skin, supplement or food. But without vitamin D, your body can’t perform at its best.

Vitamin D Deficiency, Are You At Risk?

Vague symptoms such as tiredness, general aches and pains may be due to Vitamin D deficiency....Are you deficient in Vitamin D?  

Am I deficient in vitamin D?

For a number of reasons, many people aren’t getting enough vitamin D to stay healthy. This is called vitamin D deficiency. You may not get enough vitamin D if:

You don’t get enough sunlight. Your body is usually able to get all the vitamin D it needs if you regularly expose enough bare skin to the sun. However, many people don’t get enough sunlight because they spend a lot of time inside and because they use sunscreen. It’s also difficult for some people to get enough vitamin D from the sun during the winter.

You don’t take supplements. It’s very difficult to get enough vitamin D from the foods you eat alone.

Your body needs more vitamin D than usual, for example if you’re obese or pregnant.

Are certain people more likely to have vitamin D deficiency?

There are some groups of people that are more likely to have vitamin D deficiency. The following people are more likely to be lacking in vitamin D:

People with darker skin. The darker your skin the more sun you need to get the same amount of vitamin D as a fair-skinned person. For this reason, if you’re Black, you’re much more likely to have vitamin D deficiency that someone who is White.

People who spend a lot of time indoors during the day. For example, if you’re housebound, work nights or are in hospital for a long time.

People who cover their skin all of the time. For example, if you wear sunscreen or if your skin is covered with clothes.

People that live in the North of the United States or Canada. This is because there are fewer hours of overhead sunlight the further away you are from the equator.

Older people have thinner skin than younger people and this may mean that they can’t produce as much vitamin D.

Infants that are breastfed and aren’t given a vitamin D supplement. If you’re feeding your baby on breast milk alone, and you don’t give your baby a vitamin D supplement or take a supplement yourself, your baby is more likely to be deficient in vitamin D.

Pregnant women.

People who are very overweight (obese).

What are the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency?

Some people may not have any symptoms of vitamin D deficiency and still be deficient.

The symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are sometimes vague and can include tiredness and general aches and pains. Some people may not have any symptoms at all.

If you have a severe vitamin D deficiency you may have pain in your bones and weakness, which may mean you have difficulty getting around. You may also have frequent infections. However, not everyone gets these symptoms.

If you think you may have vitamin D deficiency, you should see your physician, or have a blood test to check your vitamin D levels.

How do I know if I’m deficient in vitamin D?

The way doctors measure if you’re deficient in vitamin D is by testing your 25(OH)D level, but most doctors just call this a vitamin D test. Getting this blood test is the only accurate way to know if you’re deficient or not. 

Already tested and want to know what your results mean? 

How can I get more vitamin D?

There are two ways to get more vitamin D: by exposing your bare skin to the sun or by taking vitamin D supplements.

ARE YOU LOSING YOUR HAIR? HAIR LOSS

In the majority of cases, hair loss begins with the shortening of the growth phase of the hair (Anagen): an increasing number of hairs enter into the falling phase (Telogen) prematurely and as a result they begin to fall earlier than expected. Hairs become thinner and shorter. The hair follicles also tend to reduce in size. This miniaturisation phenomenon causes thinning of the hair and eventually, in some cases, true baldness occurs. This phenomenon is called Alopecia and its causes differ between men and women: The male problem Hair loss in man (androgenic alopecia) is quite common and occurs in a high incidence of cases: over 80% of the male population suffers from this problem, even if in some cases more evidently than in others. Very often, hair fall is hereditary (programmed in the DNA genetic code) and is localised in certain areas of the head such as the sides, the front and the top. The principal cause is linked to the action of androgen hormones: the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone by means of the enzyme 5-a-reductase, in people with a predisposition to baldness, leads to a progressive decrease in cellular activity within the follicle, which interferes with the bulb’s capacity of generating a new Anagen phase. Other aggravating factors such as stress, fatigue, diets, dandruff and seborrhoea, weaken the hair and help accelerate its fall. The problem of hair loss in women In women, only in some cases (approx. 30%) the principal cause of hair fall is due to the action of hormones. More often the determining factors are: psychophysic stress, pregnancy, breastfeeding, diets or poor eating habits, external aggressions such as inappropriate hair treatments, strong brushings, perms, dyes, pollution. All these factors influence the health of hair and its folliclle. Progressively the hair loses its natural vitality and generates thinner and weaker hair, leading in many cases to hair fall.

THE HAIR UNDER A MICROSCOPE THE ANATOMY OF HAIR:

1. External, or visible, part called stem or shaft. It has a long, thin cylinder shape formed by overlapping cells, tied together and made up of three layers: the midolla: the internal layer, or the "soul" of the hair. It has a spongy consistency and is formed by a number of cells placed one beside the other, in rows separated by air spaces. the cortex: the second layer made up of cells containing keratin and melanin, the pigment that gives colour to the hair. the cuticle: the external, visible, layer consisting in a layer of scale shaped cells, made up of keratin, interlocked like roof tiles, enclosing the midolla and the cortex. The cuticle is the key-layer of the stem. In fact, it has the function of covering and protecting the internal layers. A healthy cuticle has compact scales and consequently the hair is shiny and soft to touch. 2. Internal part, placed in a cavity called hair follicle or pilo-sebaceous follicle made up of: The root: the portion of hair "immersed" into the superior part of the follicle. The bulb: the deepest part of the hair follicle with an enlarged ovoid shape. All the germinate activity leading to the construction of the hair structure has its headquarters here. The matrix or the papilla: the vital zone at the base of the bulb. The papilla, in fact, rich in blood vessels that bring oxygen and nourishment to the bulb, reproduces the germinal cells that slowly push upward the ones originated previously; during this upward climb, these cells develop keratin, they progressively harden and model the different structural parts of the hair (cuticle, cortex and midolla). Immediately above the matrix cells we find melanocytes that produce melanin, the pigment that determines hair colour. The sebaceous gland: located beside the follicle, it produces sebum, a fatty substance that nourishes and lubricates the scales to give shine and elasticity to hair. Furthermore, the sebum, together with perspiration, contributes to the formation of they hydro-lipidic film, an aqueous emulsion in oil that protects the cutaneous surface from external aggressions. The pilo-erector muscle: positioned obliquely at the side of the sebaceous gland, it has the function of emptying it, by means of compression. Furthermore, it guarantees the maintenance of normal pH (5.5) and good skin hydration and elasticity. Health and beauty of hair are directly dependent on the functional state of the hair follicle and the microcirculation system of the dermal layer.

THE LIFE CYCLE OF HAIR An adult person normally has between 100.000 and 150.000 hairs that continuously renew themselves. A person normally loses between 50 and 100 hairs a day, but the total number of hairs remains more or less constant. The life of the hair proceeds in cycles, divided into three phases: Anagen (a growing or active phase) Catagen (a resting phase) Telogen (or falling phases)

THE FOLTENE ACTIVE PRINCIPLES

Tricosaccaride® Tricalgoxyl® Tricosaccaride® Discovered in 1966 by the Crinos (Foltene's mother company) research group while carrying out tolerability tests on an active ingredient for arteriosclerosis: during testing, the researchers discovered that one of the components present had trichogenic activity (growth of hair). Further extensive testing led to the definition and identification of the substance, a particular mixture of natural mucopolysaccharides, which was given the name ofTricosaccaride ®. The composition, method of extraction and purification of this active ingredient are exclusive of Foltene Laboratories S.p.A. Because of its complexity,Tricosaccaride® is prepared, tested and controlled following the same methods used for pharmaceutical products. Mucopolysaccharides or glycosaminoglycans are normal components of the organism and in particular of the connective tissue. Even though the importance of their presence in the hair follicle is not completely clear, the fact remains that the greater the activity of the follicle in the Anagen phase (growth), the greater the quantity of mucopolysaccharides, while in the Catagen (resting) and Telogen phase (fall) their quantity tends to decrease significantly. The quantitative fluctuations found in the various phases of hair growth can only be strictly related to trichogenesis itself which, as demonstrated by numerous trials, is greatly stimulated by mucopolysaccharides. To better understand the action of Tricosaccaride®, it is important to know the function that mucopolysaccharides have in the organism: mucopolysaccharides improve blood circulation, reduce the concentration of lipids in the blood and protect vessels. Substantially, this means an improvement in the condition of blood circulation and consequently an overall improvement in celllular and tissue trophism. Clinical trials conducted have shown that mucopolysaccharides are active also when applied topically to the scalp. We can therefore say that Tricosaccaride®, composed essentially of mucopolysaccharides, positively influences local blood circulation at the level of the scalp, improves cellular and tissue exchange thus bringing a greater amount of nutritive elements to the hair, while at the same time removing waste products normally produced in the hair follicle. The activity of Tricosaccaride® has been extensively demonstrated by numerous clinical trials carried out in Italy and in other countries: starting from 1980, 37 clinical trials have been conducted on a total of 1297 subjects, by means of instrumental evaluation (trichogram, phototrichogram, pull test) clinical as well as subjective patient evaluation.Results of these tests have confirmed that Tricosaccaride®: improves the condition of the hair follicle, promotes hair growth (it increases the number of hairs in the Anagen phase) and prevents hair fall (reduces the number of hairs in the Telogen phase). NO SIDE EFFECTS Tricosaccaride® does not penetrate the tissues surrounding the follicle and is proven to have no side effects: its action takes place only at the level of the hair follicle and the surface skin layer The photograph shows a cross section of the hair follicle and the surrounding tissues after Tricosaccaride® application. Tricosaccaride® was marked with a fluorescent dye and the photograph shows that penetration occurred only on the surface of the skin and inside the hair follicle (coloured area), not in the surrounding tissues (black area).  Tricalgoxyl® During the nineties, Foltene Laboratories began another research study aimed at identifying a new active principle of vegetal origin for the cure of alopecia, in alternative toTricosaccaride®. In 2001 the new active ingredient called Tricalgoxyl® is patented.Tricalgoxyl® is a mixture of polysaccharides belonging to the Kelp Sulphated Olygosaccharide family, extracted from different types of brown algae (Fucus Vesiculosus and Ascophyllum Nodosum) grown and collected offshore the Isle of Ouessant (Bretagne - France). In 1989 this area was classified a UNESCO Natural Reserve. The extraction and purification process adopted to obtain the active substance from these algae is done following very strict local environmental regulations in force, that assure extremely high levels of activity and tolerability to Tricalgoxyl®. Thanks to its particular characteristics, Tricalgoxyl® is today the active ingredient of the Foltene Laboratories Special for Women product line. Results of clinical trials based both on instrumental and subjective evaluations have proven that Tricalgoxyl® restores the normal life cycle of the hair:  Increases the number of hairs in the Anagen (growth) phase Decreases the number of hairs in the Telogen (falling) phase Increases the length and resistance of the hair

MASALAH rambut gugur sememangnya menjejaskan penampilan diri. Bukan sahaja wanita, masalah itu turut menghantui kaum lelaki. Percaya atau tidak, lebih 10 juta penduduk dunia mengalami masalah keguguran rambut. Sebab itu rawatan masalah botak menjadi umpama industri yang berkembang pesat.

Pelbagai tawaran di pasaran untuk mengatasi masalah keguguran rambut. Begitu juga dengan penghasilan pelbagai produk di pasaran. Namun hasilnya belum dapat dipastikan.

Seorang wanita pernah mengadu berbelanja hampir RM10,000 untuk merangsang pertumbuhan rambutnya. Tetapi usahanya sia-sia. Sehingga sekarang dia masih mengalami masalah keguguran rambut malah sebahagian kepalanya kini botak.

Punca keguguran rambut

Genetik, hormon, persekitaran, stres, diet dan aktiviti harian boleh menjadi punca rambut gugur. Penyelesaian biasa adalah dengan mengambil vitamin seperti riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), biotin dan zink. Malah senaman juga membantu merangsang pertumbuhan rambut. Namun masalah keguguran rambut tidak mudah diselesaikan dengan mengambil vitamin atau membeli syampu yang pelbagai di pasaran.

Menurut Dr. Nurhalina Azly Minhat, bagi individu bermasalah, rambut baru yang tumbuh selalunya nipis dan tidak tahan lama seperti rambut bayi. Sebab itu, peringkat pertama menyaksikan rambut tumbuh tetapi kemudiannya gugur semula. Keadaan itu juga disebabkan kulit kepala yang tidak sihat.

Kekurangan hormon yang menyebabkan keguguran rambut (DHT) bagi lelaki dan ketidakseimbangan hormon di kalangan wanita menyebabkan folikel menghasilkan anak rambut yang nipis.

``Begitu juga masalah pengaliran darah ke folikel yang berkurangan menyumbang kepada keguguran rambut,’’ kata pemilik Timeless Anti-Aging & Skin Rejuvenation Clinic itu.

Teknologi

Selain pusat rawatan dan lambakan produk untuk rambut sihat, teknologi turut menawarkan kaedah terkini bagi mengatasi masalah keguguran rambut.

Apatah lagi perkembangan rawatan menggunakan laser yang begitu pesat tidak mengetepikan ciptaan untuk merangsang pertumbuhan rambut di kalangan individu bermasalah.

iGrow antara teknologi laser terkini yang hampir setahun berada di pasaran dan mendapat sambutan orang ramai yang mahukan penyelesaian kepada masalah tersebut.

Menggunakan terapi cahaya tahap rendah (LLLT), teknologi dari Amerika Syarikat (AS) itu terbukti berupaya merangsang pertumbuhan rambut sekali gus mengatasi masalah botak.

Menariknya tentang peralatan seakan topi keledar itu adalah ia mudah digunakan serta boleh dibawa ke mana-mana. Ini bermakna anda tidak perlu mengunjungi salon rambut untuk menjalani rawatan sebaliknya dengan iGrow, rawatan boleh dilakukan pada bila-bila masa.

Hanya dengan pasangkan iGrow di kepala, hidupkan suis, LLLT kemerahan akan melakukan kerja-kerja merawat kulit kepala. Dengan gelombang sekitar 655 ke 670 nanometer, kaji selidik mendapati aktiviti selular di dalam folikel meningkat.

Terapi LLL menyebabkan sel-sel dalam folikel aktif dan saling merangsang untuk membolehkan rambut tumbuh seperti biasa.

Menarik tentang iGrow, rawatan bersesuaian dengan gaya hidup masa kini. Tiga sesi rawatan seminggu (selang sehari) selama tiga bulan menjanjikan masalah keguguran rambut tidak lagi menghantui anda.
