What are the principles and effects of thread embedding for weight loss

Thread embedding for weight loss is a therapy that stimulates meridians and regulates metabolism through acupoint thread embedding. The effect varies from person to person, mainly including regulating gastrointestinal function, suppressing appetite, and accelerating fat metabolism.

1. Regulating gastrointestinal function

Embedding absorbable protein threads into acupoints such as the central epigastric region and the heavenly pivot can reduce excessive gastrointestinal peristalsis through continuous stimulation and improve metabolic disorders caused by spleen and stomach weakness. The frequency of bowel movements is reduced in obese patients with common gastrointestinal damp heat type in clinical practice, and the use of Zusanli buried suture can enhance the effect.

2. Inhibiting hunger

Embedding threads at ear acupoints, body acupoints, and other locations can prolong the duration of satiety. The principle is to reduce feeding impulse by regulating ghrelin hormone levels, but it needs to be accompanied by a low calorie diet. Some patients may experience mild appetite loss for 2-3 days.

3. Promote fat breakdown

Embedding threads at lower limb acupoints such as Sanyinjiao and Fenglong can activate brown adipose tissue and promote the breakdown of white fat for energy supply. Research shows that this method can significantly reduce waist circumference, but it requires 3-5 repeated treatments.

4. Improving Endocrine Function

In response to endocrine disorders in obesity, embedding thread at acupoints such as Guan Yuan and the uterus can help regulate insulin sensitivity. For individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity, it can assist in improving glucose metabolism abnormalities.

5. Local shaping effect

The abdominal circular embedding method can temporarily tighten the skin by promoting collagen proliferation, and combined with exercise, it can enhance the improvement of lumbar and abdominal lines. However, it should be noted that this method has limited effectiveness in reducing visceral fat.

Thread embedding for weight loss should be operated by a reputable medical institution. Avoid contact with water for 24 hours after surgery, maintain a low-fat and high protein diet during treatment, and engage in 150 minutes of aerobic exercise per week. It takes 15-30 days for the protein line to be fully absorbed. It is recommended to receive the next treatment every 20 days, with three consecutive treatments as one course of treatment. Pregnant women, individuals with skin infections, and patients with severe chronic diseases should not use it.
