Weight Management
Everyone has their own unique history, contributing weight control factors, as well as desired personal goals and these individual nuances must be taken into consideration when setting your personalized plan.
By combining the knowledge gained from traditional acupuncture with our highly advanced bio-electric treatment equipment, we provide you the tools to control your weight in one of the most efficient and safest ways known. With your personal commitment to taking advantage of the lifestyle guidance provided, you will be well on your way to a healthier, happier life, where weight control is no longer a problem and you will have gotten it under control at a sustainable pace and with longer lasting results. We help to correct systemic body imbalances that are the root cause of weight control troubles.
What to Expect at your Appointment:
During your first visit, your Imagine Laserworks Certified Practitioner will work with you to complete your personal Intake Assessment, which is designed to help identify the previously mentioned body imbalances. You may be carrying excess weight for a number of reasons, including hormonal imbalance, a slowed metabolism, poor nutrition, excessive eating, a sedentary lifestyle or even your emotional well being. Your sessions will focus on correcting these underlying issues in a way that help you achieve and maintain your goals.
During the sessions, key trigger points on the ears, wrists, elbows and lower parts of the leg are stimulated with low-level electric currents in a relaxing atmosphere and essentially guide the body to heal itself. The procedure is similar to acupuncture, but without the use of the needles. You will typically feel a warm, vibrating sensation as the stimulation is applied to the trigger points along the ear and on the body. The sessions are highly effective and in most cases take less than an hour.
How Many Sessions will you Need?
Our base program includes 3 sessions, with the option to add on additional sessions for continued support. How many sessions are ultimately required depends on you as an individual and your personal history and state of health.
The Imagine Laserworks Process:
Key trigger points on the body, originally defined through traditional acupuncture, are bio-electrically stimulated and signal the brain to release endorphins into your system. This production of endorphins reduces the body’s production of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn reduces cravings and helps to restore overall balance, while also helping to increase energy levels. The lifestyle guidance aspect of the sessions helps support you motivationally, assisting you to moderate portions and maintain improved will power. Along with the sessions being customized to meet your individual needs, the plan also includes follow up services to ensure your success, as well as nutritional guidance; our support does not stop when you walk out the door.
The Truth of it All:
Real change requires a personal motivation and commitment, a fair amount of discipline and also patience; we provide you the tools to make the job easier and increase the probability of success, but you still own the work. Just as the weight didn’t get put on overnight, it will not be shed overnight. The average weight loss seen by our clients is a safe 2 – 3 pounds per week or 8 – 12 pounds per month. Typically the first definable sign of progress is in the fit of your clothing and feeling that difference.
