Obesity treatment

“Take control of your weight and entrust yourself to the hands of experts.”

Obesity is one of the greatest challenges faced by modern society. A combination of lack of physical activity and excessive consumption of energy-dense foods creates the perfect environment for this condition, which can have serious consequences for health. These consequences include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. These health complications can severely affect both the quality and longevity of life.

But don’t give up! Every journey towards a healthier life begins with the determination to make a change. If traditional diets have let you down—being complicated, ineffective, or difficult to maintain—you don’t have to face it alone. There is a modern, medically-proven method that can help you achieve the desired weight loss success: the intragastric balloon.

Intragastric balloon:

• This innovative procedure not only effectively supports weight loss but also helps guide you towards a healthier lifestyle. The balloon, made from high-quality silicone, is introduced non-invasively through the mouth and esophagus into the stomach. It is then filled with a saline solution to occupy approximately 70% of the stomach’s volume. The goal of this process is to reduce your feelings of hunger, speed up the sensation of fullness, and change your relationship with food.
• The intragastric balloon is more than just a medical device – it is the key to learning to listen to your body, adopting healthier habits, and opening the door to the life you desire. This method has already helped thousands of people worldwide—and it can help you too.

Pharmacological Treatment

Pharmacological treatment of obesity is indicated for patients who have not achieved significant weight loss through lifestyle changes or when obesity poses a high health risk. Its goal is to support weight reduction, improve metabolic parameters, and reduce the risk of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, or hypertension.

Who is it suitable for?

• Individuals with BMI ≥30 (obesity) or ≥27.
• Patients motivated for long-term lifestyle changes.
• Those who do not tolerate or cannot achieve results with diet and exercise alone.

Why is pharmacotherapy beneficial?

It aids in weight loss when combined with dietary and physical activity interventions, increasing patient adherence and improving overall health outcomes. The choice of medication depends on individual needs, comorbidities, and treatment tolerance. Pharmacological treatment should always be part of a comprehensive approach, including nutritional therapy, physical activity, and behavioral intervention, under the supervision of a specialist.
