Is acupuncture and thread embedding effective for weight loss?

Many people have tried all kinds of methods to lose weight. In addition to dieting and exercise, many people yearn to lose weight through medical means. The medical community has the acupuncture thread embedding weight loss method. This weight loss technology buries objects in fat and acupuncture points, similar to acupuncture techniques, to stimulate acupuncture points for a long time, slowly speeding up the body's fat metabolism to achieve the effect of weight loss. After all, many people have different physical constitutions, and it is common for some people to not see any effect after thread embedding weight loss. Before thread embedding weight loss, you need to check whether your physical constitution is suitable.

Weight loss principle

Thread embedding for weight loss is an extension and development of acupuncture for weight loss, and is a modified form of external moxibustion.

It uses a thread embedding device to implant protein magnetized wires into the corresponding acupuncture points, and the wire body produces a sustained and effective stimulation to the acupuncture points (the wire is naturally dissolved and absorbed in the body within 15 days to 3 months) to achieve the purpose of weight loss. This method involves thread embedding once every 15 days, saving obese patients the trouble and pain of daily needle insertion. It is the preferred weight loss method for busy modern people.

Acupoint thread embedding for weight loss is based on individual differences, different symptoms, and different obesity mechanisms of patients. It conducts reasonable and effective syndrome differentiation and selection of acupoints, and embeds protein magnetized wires (wires instead of needles) in the corresponding acupoints to achieve the effects of "strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, unblocking meridians, and harmonizing yin and yang, qi and blood", thereby adjusting the patient's autonomic nervous and endocrine functions.

Acupuncture thread embedding suppresses the patient's hyperactive appetite on the one hand, and also suppresses the patient's hyperactive gastrointestinal digestion and absorption on the other hand, thereby reducing energy intake. On the other hand, it can stimulate the patient's sluggish autonomic nerves (sympathetic nerves), making them functionally active, increasing energy consumption, and promoting the decomposition of body fat. Therefore, acupoint thread embedding reduces body fat rather than water, and can ensure the health and energy of the human body during the weight loss process, and the rebound rate is extremely low. This is the biggest advantage of acupoint thread embedding for weight loss.

Material

The embedded thread therapy uses materials to implant into acupuncture points to form long-term stimulation similar to the "leaving needle" in acupuncture, in order to achieve effective treatment of diseases, which requires suitable stimulation materials. When thread embedment therapy appeared in the 1960s, there were relatively few implant materials to choose from, so autologous tissue, animal tissue, and catgut were mostly used.

Although these materials are readily available, they are unhygienic in application, prone to infection, and inconvenient to use. The development of modern biomedical materials has provided a large number of materials that can be used for in vivo implantation. These materials can retain the appropriate stimulation time and produce appropriate stimulation intensity in the body. After surface functionalization, they can also enhance safety and play a better therapeutic role. Polylactic acid (PGLA) is one of the most commonly used biomedical materials. After proper treatment, its biological characteristics can be used as a new generation of thread embedding weight loss material.
