What is weight loss?

Weight loss is something you can do on your own or with assistance from professionals, like nutritionists and doctors. Saba Shabnam, MD, FAAFP, wants you to get the best possible results from your weight loss efforts and offers medical weight loss to help you reach your goals. 

Medical weight loss is different from other weight loss programs and strategies because it’s directed by a medical professional. After examining you and reviewing your medical history, Dr. Shabnam develops a weight loss program just for you. 

How does my health benefit from weight loss?

If you’re overweight or obese, losing weight can help you manage health conditions you already have and prevent new complications from developing. You might also notice a few positive changes in your well-being, like more energy, a better mood, or improved sleep. 

Weight loss lowers your risk for:

• Hypertension
• High cholesterol
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Arthritis and joint pain
• Certain cancers

The team at the office of Saba Shabnam, MD, FAAFP, might provide regular medical testing to evaluate your health, such as blood sugar tests or cholesterol tests. Results of these tests offer insight into your overall physical health. 

How does weight loss work?

Dr. Shabnam might include multiple strategies in your weight loss program to increase the calories you burn off. Your weight loss program might involve:

Nutritional planning

Nutritional planning involves strategic dietary restructuring to make sure the nutritional content of your meals meets your body’s needs. Your provider can also help with portion sizes and can accommodate any dietary restrictions you have. 

Exercise

Regular exercise is a necessary part of any medical weight loss plan as exercise boosts your metabolism and helps you burn calories. It also boosts your mood due to the release of endorphins during exercise. 

Medications and supplements

Patient can have options from diet pills and injectables (wegovy, semaglutide); however, it is all personalized to patient needs and healthy issues. Your provider might also recommend supplements if you have dietary restrictions that prevent you from getting certain nutrients you need.

WHAT IS IT?

The Cryo T-Shock is the most innovative and versatile anti-aging device on the market. The device alternates warm and cold at varying times, temperatures and sequences to deliver the desired effect on the body. The Cryo T-Shock offers a non-invasive, painless approach that has the ability to treat localized fat on the abdomen, arms, glutes and legs, reduce cellulite, tone and tighten crepey or loose skin and deliver incredible anti-aging or special event facials. The versatility of the Cryo T-Shock’s vast software architecture makes body contouring affordable for almost anyone.

T-SHOCK SLIMTM AND T-SHOCK TONETM

Cryo T-Shock Slim safely and effectively uses thermal shock to target and naturally destroy fat cells without any damage to beneficial cells. The Cryo T-Shock breaks down fat cells, which your body naturally flushes out through the lymphatic system in days to weeks following the treatment. It is a safe, painless, non-surgical alternative to liposuction and traditional technologies. Cryo T-Shock Tone helps reduce the appearance of crepey and loose skin, cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production while tightening muscles.

THE BENEFITS OF CRYO T- SHOCK

IS IT SAFE?

Yes, the Cryo T-Shock is a safe, non-invasive treatment of adipose tissue to induce lipolysis— the breaking down of fat cells – to reduce body fat without damage to other tissues. It consists of a specially developed technique where warm and cold are used and applied directly to your skin.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?

The 30 - 60 minute treatments are executed manually through a slow massage over the selected area of the body. Each session will begin with clean skin followed by a light gel application. The treatment begins with heat or cold, alternating between the two at varying times and temperatures. It is a non-invasive and painless treatment that feels like a light massage.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Cryo T-Shock uses the technology of the Peltier cell by safely and quickly generating heat or cold. Each session starts with a warming phase followed by rapid cooling. The combined effect literally “shocks” the cells which has a far more profound effect on the results vs. using only warm or cold. Temperatures are pleasant and non-painful. Skin and fatty tissue are subjected to triple thermal shock (heat-cold-heat) or (cold-heat-cold) which optimizes results.

WHERE AND HOW OFTEN CAN I RECEIVE TREATMENT?

T-Shock Slim is best for your stomach, love handles, under arms, bra-line, glutes, double chin and inner or outer thighs. T-Shock Slimming treatments can be performed once every two weeks and T-Shock Tone treatments can be performed every 2-3 days. Use T-Shock Tone for your face, arms, legs, and stomach. T-Shock Slimming causes fat cell apoptosis or cell death of the fat cells alone. Beneficial cells are not affected. The dead cells are evacuated through the lymphatic system and will eventually pass through the kidneys. Waiting every two weeks ensures that the lymphatic system and kidneys are not overloaded.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS AND HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?

T-Shock Slimming may require 5 or more sessions over several months to see the best results. T-Shock Toning results are more immediate and also may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

AFTER ONE DEFINITION TREATMENT

AFTER THREE CELLULITE TREATMENTS

AFTER ONE DECOLLETE TREATMENT

AFTER ONE TISSUE STIMULATION TREATMENT

AFTER TWO ANTI-AGING FACIAL TREATMENTS

AFTER FIVE FAT REDUCTION TREATMENTS

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

There are generally no side effects apart from increased urination over several days following the treatment. In very few cases, there was localized redness that disappeared after a few hours and in rare cases, there was local pain that did not exceed 2 to 3 hours. There was some experience of delayed onset muscle soreness from treatments on the stomach due to unintentionally engaging the abdominals, which disappeared later that same day. Anyone with the following conditions should not receive Cryo T-Shock treatment: severe kidney disease or dialysis; active cancer / chemotherapy; severe Diabetes and pregnancy. Anyone with an open abdominal hernia should not receive a fat reduction in that area. Botox and fillers should not be used two and four weeks respectively in advance of facial treatments.
