Weight Correction: Comprehensive Approach and Medication Use
Doctors remind that excess weight is primarily a health issue, not an appearance issue
Many perceive excess weight and figure imperfections as an aesthetic problem to be fought with diets and workouts. However, doctors at NEO-Clinic, with many years of experience working with patients, see this primarily as a health issue.

Why Excess Weight Appears: An Endocrinologist’s Opinion
Weight loss under medical supervision is the best investment in your health for years to come
— In the vast majority of cases, this is a combination of factors: heredity, lifestyle, eating habits often formed since childhood, — explains endocrinologist, Candidate of Medical Sciences Olga Dmitrieva. — We are talking about systematic overeating (too large portions, late dinners), an unbalanced diet with an excess of simple carbohydrates. This is often accompanied by stress eating and low physical activity. But it is important to remember that in about 10% of cases the reason lies deeper — in the presence of certain diseases (often endocrine) or taking medications. The doctor’s task is to identify these conditions in time and bring them under control. That is why the path to a healthy weight should always begin with a specialist consultation and diagnostics, — the doctor noted.

Where to Start? A Comprehensive Medical Approach to Weight Loss
Specialists believe that the first and most important step is a comprehensive examination. At NEO-Clinic, the weight loss program begins with a consultation with an endocrinologist. Based on an analysis of lifestyle, risk factors, and the results of an individual set of laboratory and instrumental tests, the doctor obtains a complete picture of the patient’s health.
— Only after a consultation with an endocrinologist and establishing the causes do we, together with the patient, build a strategy, — comments nutritionist at NEO-Clinic Ekaterina Karagasheva. — The basis is always nutrition correction and the formation of healthy eating habits. For this, a personalized diet is developed that ensures weight loss without a deficiency of beneficial nutrients and consequences for the body, — the expert said.
When Are Drugs Needed? Medication Correction According to Indications
If lifestyle changes are insufficiently effective and diagnostics have identified certain disorders, the doctor may consider medication correction.
As clinic specialists say, modern drugs have specific mechanisms of action: some affect satiety centers in the brain, others reduce fat absorption in the intestines, and others (the most modern group) mimic the action of natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. When prescribed correctly, they really help reduce weight by 10% or more from the initial weight. They are prescribed for confirmed diagnoses, such as:
obesity (BMI ≥ 30);
overweight (BMI ≥ 27) with concomitant diseases;
fatty liver disease.
As doctors emphasize, weight correction drugs are prescribed strictly according to indications, after a complete examination, under constant medical supervision, which allows preventing and minimizing side effects. These are not “magic pills”, but part of a comprehensive therapeutic regimen that includes nutrition correction and physical activity.
Cosmetological Correction: Working with “Fat Traps”, Body Contours, and Skin Quality
When the main causes of weight are under control and the weight loss process is underway, procedures for correcting local areas and improving skin quality come to the rescue:
intralipotherapy — injectable effects on resistant fat deposits;
lymphatic drainage LPG massage — to improve microcirculation, lymphatic drainage, and skin tone;
non-surgical liposuction (Accent XL) and radiofrequency lipolysis (BodyFX) — hardware technologies for destroying fat cells and skin tightening;
all types of manual massage and SPA procedures (Charcot shower, underwater shower-massage, detox wraps) — to improve tone, combat edema, and skin quality.
The decision to lose weight is an investment in health and quality of life. Turning to doctors is not a weakness, but a conscious first step toward good health for many years to come.
