Borders Aesthetics offering “life-changing” weight-loss service, sign up today
A Borders-based medical professional who runs a thriving aesthetics business says she is living proof that a weight-loss service now offered at the clinic, can transform how people look and feel. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of the Southern Reporter. Anyone seeking medical advice is always advised to contact the NHS.
Borders Aesthetics is a proud partner of The National Medical Weight Loss Programme (NMWLP), which offers offering medical support, advice and treatment options to help people work towards their target weights – and owner Anna Fenech says after embarking on the approved treatment herself just six months ago, she herself has managed to lose an impressive 61lbs.
“I feel so much happier, heathier and confident,” said the thrilled pharmacist and medical practitioner, whose busy Hawick operation now includes the transformative programme. “I have been on the medication since March, and I would never have imagined I’d be where I am now,” she admitted.
Holistic route to weight loss
This national service consists of a holistic route to weight loss, along with a calorie-controlled diet – as well as the option of UK-licensed and approved medication. It is aimed at anyone aged between 18 and 75 years old with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 if there are other health-related issues such as high blood pressure or breathing problems. Clients must complete an initial assessment to find out if they are suitable for the programme, then a medical assessment and comprehensive consultation will follow.
This will include a full exploration of all the options available for each client, which, if that includes medication in conjunction with diet and exercise, will involve a simple, and painless, injection.
The treatments act by mimicking a natural hormone which regulates appetite and food intake. This hormone is released into the gut after eating, making the person feel full, therefore the appetite is reduced. It also helps make the tummy feel fuller for longer, which leads to less calorie intake and, ultimately, weight loss.
“Most of my clients have struggled with weight most of their lives and tried different diets with no success,” Anna explained. “This is a life-changing service that completely changes the relationship with food; you eat far less, but are not hungry, nor have cravings.”
A high level of care, and attention to detail, is also a big part of the service being offered at Borders Aesthetics, and Anna, who has 18 years’ experience as a pharmacist, says she is dedicated to making sure every client feels relaxed, and safe.
“Sometimes trying something new can be daunting, but I would advise anyone who has reservations, to come for a chat so I can give them all the information about the programme, and discuss any concerns”, she assured.
The weight-loss service is already proving popular and well-received, and as a certified partner of The National Medical Weight Loss Programme, each client at Borders Aesthetics is guaranteed special treatment.
Anna stated: “Some online pharmacies are selling these products, but don’t offer any support, so when anything goes wrong such as side effects, there is no-one to turn to. I offer one-to-one support, this is not just giving out medication, which is very important.”
Indeed, as part of a medically supervised programme, anyone who takes part is monitored throughout.
Borders Aesthetics also boasts a closed support group, where people on the programme can enjoy additional chats and help from people already on treatment.
For anyone wishing to lose weight after previous failed attempts and diets, this new treatment being provided at Borders Aesthetics may be the key to finally starting a successful journey. It has certainly proved to be a dream-come-true for practitioner Anna, who added: “It has transformed the way I see myself and food. I feel like a different person.”
