Obesity treatment injections like Mounjaro and Wegovy are emerging as the go-to solution for easy and fast weight loss. At the same time, there is growing interest and concern about their actual effects and side effects.
Maison Prive Clinic possesses exceptional expertise in precisely analyzing the impact these weight loss aids have on the human body. Since its founding 20 years ago, the clinic has placed great importance on a functional medicine approach to weight loss through hormone injections, and Mounjaro and Wegovy are essentially hormone-based treatments similar in nature.
What Maison Prive Clinic seeks to achieve through this hormonal approach to weight loss, however, is not simply shedding pounds. It is the process of removing unnecessary fat to create beautiful, refined lines for the face and body. And that priority remains unchanged today.
Dr. Kang Sungyeob, Deputy Chief of Maison Prive Clinic, says that what he values most when performing Thermage FLX is the "build-up technique." This means that delivering energy to the skin is most effective when gradually raised from a low level to a high level. The reason is that if high energy is delivered from the start when the skin is not yet prepared, the energy fails to reach deep into the dermal layer and remains only in the epidermis. This is precisely why results are exceptionally better at Maison Prive Clinic, even when receiving the same treatment.
And the logic behind this "build-up technique" is not limited to Thermage FLX alone. The entire process of Maison Prive Clinic planning a treatment program tailored for you and carefully overseeing each step before moving to the next can be described as a build-up.
This can be broadly divided into 3 phases as follows.
Phase 1. Appetite Reset
This is the appetite and metabolic reset phase. Mounjaro or Wegovy is started at a low dose for 1 to 2 weeks, and once the body begins to adapt, the dose is naturally increased from the third week.
The essence of this phase is not suppressing appetite but normalizing the body's signals. In the early stages, the goal is not aggressive weight loss but finding the body's natural rhythm. This is a critically important phase that determines overall satisfaction and whether the plan succeeds or fails.
- Breaking binge eating patterns
- Reducing blood sugar levels
- Reducing insulin spikes
Phase 2. Hormone Balance
This is the hormone balancing phase. The most important point is stabilizing the body's natural rhythm. Having passed through the appetite and metabolic reset phase with normalized body signals, the focus is on maintaining them smoothly without reverting to old patterns.
This is not limited to appetite alone but is also influenced by lifestyle patterns, particularly internal and external factors such as stress. This is a period that requires not only prescriptions from the clinic but also personal effort to create the right environment.
- Breaking yo-yo patterns
- Stabilizing appetite
- Stabilizing lifestyle patterns
Phase 3. Face & Body Line Design
This is the line design phase. From this point, Maison Prive Clinic's true expertise comes into play.
The preceding period was a process of removing unnecessary fat to create beautiful, refined lines for the face and body. By going through the hormone balancing phase to prevent the yo-yo effect rather than drastic weight changes, the conditions have been set for Phase 3 treatments to deliver the highest level of satisfaction.
Finding beautiful, refined changes by simply losing weight is harder than it seems. Some people even hear the painful remark that they looked better when they were heavier. The key point is discovering the details that lead to one's natural beauty, to the extent that you yourself can feel the change. This goal is difficult to achieve alone.
Maison Prive Clinic has long prioritized the build-up process so that its diet and treatment programs produce the best possible synergy. We invite you to experience firsthand how this differs from simply losing weight or a one-time treatment.
