Med Spa Offering Clinic for Proven Sustainable Weight Reduction
May 27, 2011
On June 9, from 7-8 pm, Joie De Vivre (JDV) Med Spa, located at 2712 Fulton Ave, NW, Canton, OH 44718, is hosting an educational overview of the human chorionic gonadatropin (HCG) dietary regimen which has been surging in popularity. All are invited to attend. Reservations are limited. Please call by June 6 to reserve your seat: 330-438-4088.
Pharmaceutical HCG is FDA regulated and has shown dramatic and sustainable weight loss when administered under a physician’s direction. Pharmaceutical HCG can only be obtained by a licensed physician. As discussed by renowned medical professional, Dr. Oz, this is a rediscovered weight reduction program and is different than products promoted through the Internet or retail distribution.
According to JDV Medical Director Mike Gurney, “Our facility provides a 4 – 6 week program which produces dramatic weight loss of up to a pound a day with no hunger, which is often associated with other reduction regimens.” He went on to emphasize that the HCG diet is designed to promote weight loss from fat cells of the abdomen, thighs and buttocks with no detriment to muscles or protein.

A ten minute procedure in which he blows cold air on a person’s neck can reduce sagging and wrinkles.
The procedure requires no needles, scalpels or medicines.
“Its good if you are fit and want to get rid of a little fat its not good if you are obese and need a lot of fat removed,” says Dr. Simon Ourian.

Bariatrics Decline as hCG for Weight Loss Explodes
May 10, 2011
The IAPAM predicts strong growth in hCG for weight loss, supported by recent 1Q results published by Allergan, the makers of Botox.

The IAPAM’s goal is to provide industry-leading education for physicians by offering the field’s most comprehensive Physician hCG Training.
“Adult obesity is continuing its relentless rise, according to a new analysis of government statistics….with two thirds of Americans are now either overweight (defined as a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher) or obese (A 30-plus BMI),” reports Maia Szalavitz for MSN Health & Fitness. To address this “growing” market, more and more physicians are adding medical weight management services to their practices, and by far, the most popular option among consumers (since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011) is medically supervised diet programs, specifically hCG for weight loss.
Allergan’s Chairman and CEO David Pyott noted that, “Regarding the obesity intervention line, Q1 sales decreased 14.9% in dollars and 16.0% in local currencies. Overall, bariatric procedures in the U.S. market per our market research declined 12% in the first quarter year-over-year. In the U.S., we continue to suffer from lack of access for patients to LAP-BAND even if coverage in principle is available to members of commercial insurance plans. High co-pays and necessity to demonstrate failure and medically supervised diet and exercise programs are real barriers,” laments Pyott.

In fact, local doctors say demand for Botox and other injectable fillers will surge this year as people look to bypass pricier options in favour of more manageable treatments in the still-recovering global economy.
“The two big trends I’m seeing are that more people are open to it — it’s no longer considered something for the rich and famous — and that people are starting earlier,” says Calgary Vein & Laser’s Dr. Lily Wouters, referring to Botox, injectable fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane, and laser resurfacing .
