The use of RF waves and heat weight loss methods is sanctified
Always appearing at the top of social networking sites as a leading weight loss system in Vietnam, fanpages named "Arora International Beauty Institute", "Aurora - American Standard Weight Loss Institute"... website: thammy Vienurora.com often has many posts about a miraculous weight loss method. After just 1 session of using a Master Lipo machine, the waist was immediately reduced by 3 - 5 cm, a 10-session course of treatment reduced by 15 - 20 cm of the waist, no pain, no re- obesity, no need for dieting or exercise.
Introducing himself as a person in need, leaving information under advertisements, the reporter (PV) quickly received a call from Aurora International Aesthetic Institute (TMV Aurora).
"With nearly 10 years of experience, Aurora is confident in asserting itself as the leading weight loss retailer today, committed to reducing her waist by 3-5 cm in just one 60-minute session with the world's leading exclusive weight loss technology machine", an employee of TMV Aurora advertised via phone.
Agree with Aurora Trading Station to experience PV weight loss services introduced to 1 of the 4 facilities of this system at 5/106 Hoang Quoc Viet (Cau Giay, Hanoi). Unlike the grand advertisements on social networks, this facility did not clearly state that the signboard was an International Aesthetic Institute as advertised but only the words Aurora.
The reporter was invited into a private room for a health check-up and consultation with a consultant. This person asked us to weigh, receive the results and read the index.
Although she has a standard BMI (weight/altitude) index and is not overweight, through the words of the woman - introduced as an employee of Aurora Pharmacy, PV is at high risk of blood fat and visceral fat.
"You are not fat, all indicators are at a safe level but you can see that visceral fat and blood fat are high with many risks. Today, on the occasion of the opening of the facility in Long Bien, I will immediately give you a Master Lipo session, massage here, I will make a receipt for you right away.
On your side is the No. 1 weight loss system in Vietnam, with 4 locations in Hanoi alone. Normally, a package of 6 sessions to lose weight using a Master Lipo machine is 12 million VND, a package of 10 sessions is 16 million VND. Today, I will give a special discount to my customers, 10 sessions only cost 5 million VND and with a package of 6 sessions, there is only 3 million VND left. For each customer, there is a different discount code and price," said TMV Aurora employee.
Notably, employees of TMV Aurora continuously affirmed that this facility provides non-invasive, extremely safe weight loss services, customers "do not have to diet or exercise but still lose weight and have a slim figure".
In an interview with Lao Dong, MSc. Dr. Cao Ngoc Duy - Head of the Department of plastic Surgery, Duc Giang General Hospital (Hanoi) pointed out many misunderstandings about fat loss methods using non-invasive devices such as RF waves or heatlasers.
"The number of fat cells in the body, especially in the abdominal area, is relatively fixed. When the body gains weight, these cells do not increase in number but only bulge. Current cosmetic technologies such as using RF waves or heat can only shrink the size of fat cells, but in reality, it only brings temporary results in reducing the number of belly rings after a few treatments.
However, this method cannot reduce fat cells forever. Once the cells have reached the smallest contraction limit, the effectiveness will not increase," Dr. Cao Ngoc Duy informed.
Regarding safety level, Dr. Duy affirmed: The use of machinery must strictly follow the manufacturer's technical specifications. If abused, used haphazardly or in violation of professional procedures, the device can cause damage to the customer's body".
Invitation to greet customers for fat-reducing enzyme planting
At TMV Aurora facilities, when PV, playing the role of a customer, expressed his needs with the fastest weight loss method, an employee of 107 Dai La branch (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) said that if customers are willing to pay, this facility also has a high-end service that helps reduce fat quickly in just 3 sessions.
"We have a program to reduce (fever) quickly, it only takes 3 sessions for her to lose 12 - 18 cm (abdominal rounds). This package costs about 20 - 30 million VND, the package is a mix of machine technologies at 107 Dai La facility.
To lose fat quickly, according to the clinic's staff, this beauty salon will reduce fat for customers by using a Master Lipo machine with RF waves and heat along with pushing the so-called enzyme into customers.
"To reduce 10 cm of belly vong in 3 sessions, we do not plant starch but use machine enzymes. The enzyme will be pushed into (people) by machine. This method is very safe, it is only more expensive," advised an employee of Aurora Trading Center at 107 Dai La.
However, the Ministry of Health has not yet licensed any enzyme or substance to be directly injected into the body for the purpose of weight loss. This includes methods such as injecting enzymes, essential culture, or injecting active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine (PCC) or deoxycholate into fat tissue.
"Currently, as far as I know, the essential oils, enzymes, injectable drugs advertised as fat reduction, fat loss... are still just hand-carried goods, of unknown origin, not licensed by the Ministry of Health. It will make fat cells shrink faster, but these products are unsafe and not regular. At the hospital, we absolutely do not use these methods," informed MSc. Dr. Cao Ngoc Duy - Head of the Department of plastic surgery, Duc Giang General Hospital (Hanoi).
