Un Syentific super-fast weight loss: Spending millions, customers are at risk of injury

Unbelievable super-fast weight loss treatments

Many beauty salons in Thai Nguyen have recently been secretly inviting customers to undergo super-fast weight loss treatments.

According to the advice of the cosmetic facility's staff, customers can reduce 2-5cm of belly fat after just 1 treatment with effects on the body. More difficult to believe, cosmetic facilities claim that body fat will be liquefied and excreted through excretion and digestion.

Posing as a person in need of weight loss, the reporter visited the fanpage on social media called " super-fast weight loss in the US - Thai Nguyen" with the need to lose weight, just a few minutes later, a staff texted, consulted, and guided the reporter to a cosmetic facility called The One in Phan Dinh Phung ward (Thai Nguyen province).

Here, PV was advised by female employees of The One cosmetic facility about a series of super-fast weight loss treatments with prices from 199,000 VND - 599,000 VND/session, even with treatment packages advertised up to nearly 1 million VND/session with comprehensive services such as weight loss, muscle toning, skin care. All treatments are done in 10 - 15 sessions and are committed to reducing belly fat by 2 - 5cm after just 1 session of treatment.

In particular, The One cosmetic facility also advertised a super-fast fat loss method performed on international standard equipment. More difficult to believe, the staff here confirmed that excess fat will be dissolved like water and excreted through sweat and digestion.

After paying for a trial trial for a treatment session for 300,000 VND, the reporter was taken to a small room with many types of machines of unknown origin and function. According to The One staff, these are converging ultrasound frequency generators, international standards, helping to loosen fat and some machines have the effect of radiating heat, heating the skin.

At the time of "experiencing" super-fast weight loss treatments at The One, PV found that many customers were also doing it. Super-fast weight loss treatment in more than 60 minutes with all the methods such as heating, using a vibrating headbike to rub the belly fat area. An employee at The One said: "The fat under the skin is very thick, so you have to heat up to heat up the fat, then the ultrasound vibrator will loosen the fat like... water and then excrete it through sweat, go to the toilet".

When the reporter wondered if fat could be dissolved like water and excreted through sweat or the digestive tract, the staff of The One facility reassured: "This can be directly felt, when urinating or bowel movements can immediately see a layer of yellow ice, and the sweat on the person touching it will feel greasy. That is the fat that is excreted" (? )

Cosmetic facilities often confirm that there are leading doctors and experts who directly examine and consult before performing the treatment. However, in many times present in person, the reporter did not see any doctors appear.

Many customers using these super-fast weight loss treatments said that the results are not clear but the damage to the body is obvious.

Ms. Huong (character's name has been changed) after undergoing weight loss treatment at a cosmetic facility called Dermatec Center at 528 Phan Dinh Phung Street, Phan Dinh Phung Ward (Thai Nguyen Province) was very worried. "I don't really believe in the advertisements, but I've reached the point, so just try it," said Ms. Huong.

However, after finishing the first treatment, Ms. Huong felt burning abdomen, many places on the skin had redness. "Like when they used to use the machines to rub their abdomen hard, now standing up and sitting down feels very painful.

"I decided not to register for weight loss treatment at that facility. Not to mention that after the first session, I felt a lot of pain in the abdomen, if I damaged the internal organs, it was dangerous," Ms. Huong expressed her concern.

Another customer, Ms. Hien (character's name has been changed) said that she initially only registered for 5 sessions for 1 million VND, but after completing 1.2 sessions, she was required to pay more money and register for a full package of 10 sessions to continue treatment. Currently, almost all sessions of the treatment are still the same, but according to Ms. Hien, the weight to the measurement of the waist is the same, there is no change. "I asked a doctor I met, if the abdomen was rubbed too much it could cause damage from within, I was worried, but I felt sorry for the money so I tried to do it all," Ms. Hien complained.

unscientific, showing signs of deceiving customers

Talking to PV of Lao Dong Newspaper, Dr. CKII Nguyen Thanh Tung - Head of the Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery (Thai Nguyen Central Hospital) - said that fat is an organization to protect the body. Fat can be dissolved, but it does not have to dissolve like water because there are many different ingredients in fat.

"There is absolutely no way that fat can loosen its secretions through urine, stool, or urine. There is no such thing as breaking fat and then the fat enters the bladder, the stomach and excretes. This is completely unscientific," affirmed Dr. Nguyen Thanh Tung.

The doctor further explained that if the fat is dissolved and enters organs such as the stomach, bladder or kidneys, the fat will also enter the blood and when the fat enters the blood, it will cause clogged blood vessels causing an attack. Therefore, the fat excreted through stool and urine is completely inaccurate.

Also according to the Head of the Department of plastic Surgery - Cosmetic Surgery (Thai Nguyen Central Hospital), the use of machines that directly affect the patient's body has medical intervention factors. According to regulations in the health sector, used machines must have clear origin, background, knowledge and skills to operate and use.

"There are cases where patients come to us after fat loss at outside facilities and have burned out part of their skin, the skin has changed color. That is a side effect of using a machine that is too hot, burning the internal fat organization, burning the skin, causing necrosis, if the patient wants to recover, he must replace it with other skin parts," said Dr. Tung.
