Introduction
In general, weight loss can be achieved by controlling calorie intake, maintaining a balanced diet, and increasing physical activity. If these methods are ineffective, medical aesthetic approaches such as thread embedding for weight loss, cryolipolysis, radiofrequency lipolysis, fractional laser lipolysis, or liposuction may be considered. It is recommended to seek these medical aesthetic treatments at正规 hospitals under the guidance of qualified medical professionals.

Controlling calorie intake involves reducing consumption of high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, such as fried foods, sweets, and sugary beverages. A balanced diet should include sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals from sources like eggs, leafy vegetables, and apples. Increasing physical activity through aerobic exercises such as jogging, swimming, or cycling—performed at least 3–5 times per week for more than 30 minutes each session—can further support weight loss.

Principle |
Implanting biodegradable polymer threads into subcutaneous tissue to stimulate acupoints and accelerate fat breakdown | Using liquid nitrogen cooling technology to freeze and destroy fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and excreted from the body | Utilizing thermal effects to induce fat cell apoptosis and achieve slimming results | Using laser energy to disrupt fat cells, causing them to break down and be eliminated through metabolism | Removing excess body fat via suction (e.g., vacuum-assisted techniques) to achieve body contouring |
Target Population |
Individuals with simple obesity | Those with mild obesity | 1. Individuals with bulky body shape 2. Those with localized fat deposits |
1. Individuals with localized fat 2. Those with moderate obesity 3. People with loose skin |
1. Individuals with localized fat accumulation 2. Those with generalized obesity |
| Maintenance Duration | 1–2 years | 5–10 years | 1–5 years | 1–2 years | 2–5 years |
Reference Price |
3,000–8,000 RMB per session | 3,000–10,000 RMB per session | 7,000–15,000 RMB per session | 10,000–20,000 RMB per session | 3,000–10,000 RMB per session |
Advantages |
