(Dr. Lee, Head Doctor of Jfeel Clinic) Hello, I'm Dr. Lee, and I'm dedicated to bringing out your most beautiful self.
You know, it gets a bit boring always talking by myself,
and I feel like I'm falling into a rut.
So today, I have a special guest, Dr. Hwang, who will be joining me.
Dr. Hwang, please say hello.
(Dr. Hwang) Hello, I'm Dr. Hwang.
It's a pleasure to be here.
(Welcome)
Today, we have Dr. Hwang with us to talk about
(Topic: Mastering Diet, Meds, Weight & Body Shaping!) everything from weight loss and diet meds
to overall body shape and weight.
(Diet tips - 1. Can't beat someone who's done it themselves) Two doctors at our clinic famous for dieting, body shaping.
(Dr. Song Gye-hwa) Dr. Song and Dr. Hwang are both really famous,
(Jfeel's Golden Hands) but isn't Director Hwang especially known for her skills
with fillers, thread lifts, and Botox?
That's true.
She's so skilled that once you get Botox from her,
you feel completely at ease.
Here's what I think.
It's great to study Wegovy, body contouring, and devices,
but
(You can't beat someone who's done it themselves) you just can't beat someone who's actually lost weight
and experienced body contouring themselves.
In that sense, Dr. Hwang, haven't you lost some weight recently?
Yes, that's right.
Over the past six months or so
compared to my heaviest weight,
(Successfully lost about 10KG!) I've lost about 10kg.
As you can see, I'm not quite at my goal yet.
(Still working hard to lose weight!) I'm still in the process of dieting
and losing more weight.
(She knows best from personal experience!) This is why people who have personally lost weight
and managed their body shape know so much more.
How did you do it, Dr. Hwang?
Anyone who's been on a diet would know this
but the basic principle of dieting is very simple.
You just have to burn more calories than you consume.
So at first, I also started with a diet plan
and regular exercise.
But as I was doing that,
(Anyone over 30 would know...) as anyone who has tried dieting after turning 30 might know
even though I was working hard on my diet and exercise,
(No change on the scale or in the mirror) there was no change on the scale or in my body's appearance at all.
So I started to think that if this kept up
I'd probably just quit.
So I started to get a little help from medicine as well.
(Diet tip - 2. Diet medication.) Everyone knows that you lose weight if you eat less and move.
But if you move more, you get hungry and eat more
and if you eat less, you have no energy to exercise.
Diet medication is what breaks this vicious cycle.
I have tried taking diet medication before,
I also tried Saxenda and Wegovy,
(Stopped because of side effects..) but unfortunately, I had to stop them all because of side effects.
Have you ever experienced such side effects yourself, Dr.Lee?
I am actually quite sensitive to medication as well.
Generally, if you take too strong a dose,
(Common side effects of diet drugs) you can get side effects like a racing heart, cold sweats, or shaky hands,
so I adjusted it to fit me.
In fact, if the dosage and method
are properly tailored to each individual,
side effects can be minimized while maximizing the effectiveness.
Usually, you can lose about 5% of your body weight in around three months without much difficulty.
Men usually lose faster, right?
Right, since men generally have more muscle mass
and a higher basal metabolic rate,
some can easily lose about 8 to 9kg in just a month.
(Dieting favors the rich in muscle?!) It’s not really about wealth,
but if you have more muscle mass,
your basal metabolic rate stays high even when you sleep,
so you tend to burn more energy and lose weight more easily.
(Diet tips - 3. Why meds and consultations matter) When you see a doctor, it's better to ask detailed questions.
Instead of giving the same prescription to everyone,
they should check your gender, age, muscle mass, lifestyle,
even when you sleep
and wake up,
it can affect your quality of sleep.
Do you have your own know-how
or special questions you usually ask during consultations?
Like you mentioned,
I think it’s important to ask according to lifestyle patterns.
(Everyone's different!) Everyone has different eating habits, exercise routines,
and activity levels depending on their job.
Plus, if someone has dieted multiple times before,
they may respond less to the same method
compared to first-timers,
so I usually ask detailed questions about
their past dieting history.
(Trust level MAX) That really builds trust.
(Shh! It's just between us!)
(Diet tips - 4. Importance of eye-body check) What we’ve discussed so far
has mainly been about weight,
but as people say these days,
weight alone is not the only factor.
(Another key factor: body shape) Body shape is really important.
Even with the same weight,
your body can look completely different depending on your shape.
For example, imagine someone with fat only on
(That's a bless..) the chest and hips
versus someone with none there
(Ab-focused type) but only on the belly.
They're the same weight, but they'll have a completely different line.
There are two main body types.
(Two ways to manage body type) Lipolytic injection
and there are so many body machines these days.
(Diet Tip - 4. Body contouring devices) Dr.Lee, have you tried any of these devices yourself?
In my case..
I can say that I've received all the devices and injections in our hospital.
Our hospital actually has a lot of diet devices.
I’ve found a combo
that works perfectly for my body.
First, there’s CoreSculpt, the hottest treatment at our clinic.
(Beware of reservation backlog) We're always behind on reservations.
Many people think CoreSculpt is just a device
(CoreSculpt strengthens core muscles using high-intensity electromagnetic fields) that uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate muscle contractions,
(Repeatedly contracts and relaxes the target muscles for an intense workout effect) and it is great for that.
Of course, when you lie down and work out your muscles,
it was very effective.
But after doing squats or lunges,
(The pain that everyone who's worked out knows...) My thighs and buttocks were so pulled that it was so uncomfortable.
When I used CoreSculpt while my muscles
were sore and tight,
the electromagnetic stimulation
helped the muscle fibers recover much faster.
So if you work out a lot,
preparing for a body profile
or a competition, bodybuilders,
(If you work out a lot, it's core sculpt!) combining it with CoreSculpt
could be really effective.
Second, there’s the classic Body Inmode.
(Body Inmode: Uses RF heat energy to destroy fat) Most people know Body Inmode
(Improve cellulite, and boost collagen for body contouring) as a fat-reducing device,
but for me,
rather than wide or heavily fatty ones,
(Inmode where narrow area targeting is effective) it works much better when I focus on smaller, targeted areas.
For women, targeting small areas like
accessory breasts, love handles, or saddlebag thighs
targeting an area the size of the palm of your hand
with about 10 minutes of focused energy
really shows fast results
and noticeable fat reduction.
(Then where is it wide and fat?) For larger areas with more fat,
like the abdomen or thighs,
I found Body ONDA, Tune Body, and Ulfit all worked pretty well.
For the abdomen, Body ONDA and Tune Body worked well,
(For arms, Ulfit also boosts firmness) and for the arms, doing Ulfit regularly
really improved firmness and lift.
For the thighs,
as I said before,
I used Body Inmode on the saddlebag area
and Tune Body
on the inner and back thighs.
It really helped improve the overall line and shape, which I loved.
But isn’t this…
giving away too much?
You explained it so smoothly,
but this only applies to clinics with lots of devices.
If a clinic only has Body Inmode,
they'll say, “Body Inmode is the best!"
"It’s the best for your abdomen, thighs,
and arms,”
and just fit you into whatever they have.
Depending on the body part,
The areas we need to target can be different.
But if a clinic has various devices,
they can assess your skin elasticity, fat,
and muscle,
then create
The procedure will be performed
(Shhh! It's just between us)
(Diet tips - 5. Revealing an effective combination There are fat-dissolving injections and devices too.
Since this is your first time here,
could you share some tips on
how to combine them effectively?
For body treatments,
I found that combining diet devices with fat-dissolving injections
worked much better and created a stronger synergy.
Fat-dissolving injections work by
injecting a solution
directly into the subcutaneous fat layer.
The solution breaks down
fat cells or fatty acids,
which are then eliminated through lymphatic circulation.
Body contouring devices and fat-dissolving injections
work differently,
but since both reduce or destroy fat cells,
combining them gave better results.
For me, smaller, fatty areas
like accessory breasts or saddlebag thighs, targeted hand injections worked well for me.
For larger areas like the abdomen or thighs, repeated high-volume injections
I could see the fat reduced
There are many types of
fat-dissolving ingredients,
and I’m sensitive to steroids.
I\'m so sensitive to it that I have acne on the face
That’s why I really liked the Fatduce injection,
which has no steroids but still works very effectively.
I am really satisfied with it.
Fatduce also helps improve skin firmness,
but the reason you should combine it with device treatments is that
removing only fat has its limitations.
One of my patients was a woman who weighed almost 100kg,
and one day she came back after disappearing for a few months
having lost 38kg.
She lost it just through dieting, without any exercise.
That\'s pretty amazing.
(The skin sagging like a deflated balloon) The problem was, she ended up with skin that looked like a deflated balloon.
When you lose that much weight, the skin\'s elasticity can\'t keep up,
so it just hangs down.
(Skin sagging down to the thighs) The sagging gets so bad that when she sits, the skin nearly touches her thighs.
When the elasticity drops this much,
even body Ulthera
won’t be able to restore it
She eventually had to get an abdominoplasty,
a surgery where they cut off the excess skin and stitch it back up
I believe it’s better to lose fat
while also improving skin elasticity
if you want a nicer body line.
So if you’re planning to start a diet,
even if you’re not planning on getting any procedures done,
(Highly recommend a consultation!) I strongly recommend at least getting a consultation.
When you consult with skilled doctors,
you might find out that what you thought was fat is actually loose skin
or even muscle in some areas.
Especially with calves,
sometimes even if there’s fat, the muscle is bigger,
so calf Botox can make them look slimmer and more attractive.
That’s why I think it really helps to know these things in advance
and plan your approach accordingly.
(Diet tips - 5. If you have edema-prone body type) And sometimes, among women, there are actually a lot more people
(This body type is especially common in women) with an edema-prone body type than you’d think.
I actually have that body type too,
so my hips and lower body look a bit more swollen
in the evening than they do in the morning,
and depending on my hormone cycle,
my weight can fluctuate by about 2 to 3kg even without gaining fat.
For those of you like me who swell up easily and deal with severe bloating,
there’s a procedure I highly recommend.
At our clinic, we have a procedure called cellulite toning
that helps improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow,
and those who’ve tried it know
how incredibly refreshing it feels.
For people who swell up easily, their legs can get so puffy that
shoes which felt loose in the morning
(The magic of shoes shrinking at night..) can feel tight and uncomfortable by evening.
After getting this treatment,
you can literally feel the swelling go down in real time,
and your shoes instantly feel more comfortable.
For those with an edema-prone body type, I highly recommend cellulite toning.
People who know about it really love this treatment
because it breaks down fibrous tissue
and physically destroys cellulite.
Women often struggle with lower body fat.
From the back, there’s usually a lot of cellulite,
and the fat cells attached to cellulite are especially hard to break down.
Since those areas don’t slim down easily with dieting alone,
breaking down the cellulite first helps
the lower body start losing fat more effectively.
In my case, I use it in a slightly different way.
Actually, I sometimes get cellulite toning on my calves.
Because I tend to get cramps easily in my legs.
Since muscles are also fibrous tissue,
cellulite toning slightly loosens up the muscle fibrotic tissue.
I really don't get cramps even after just one session.
That feeling of not getting cramps
lasted for about a year or two.
For those with big calf muscles!
Increasing the calf Botox isn't the only answer.
(Here's a tip) This is a really great secret.
When getting calf Botox, try cellulite toning at the same time.
When you get calf Botox alone, some people develop compensatory muscles,
making the legs feel heavy and tense.
But combining it with cellulite toning
get less compensatory muscles
and reduces muscle tightness,
so the legs slim down more smoothly and faster.
How was it?
Did you have fun coming out today?
First of all, it was fun.
I was a bit nervous because it was my first time.
I hope you enjoy it.
I saw a video a long time ago,
(Even Yoo Jae-suk trembled first) When Yoo Jae-suk was a rookie, he used to shake
while reporting,
but you seem to not tremble at all.
So I think everyone's going to really like it.
Dr.Hwang knows a lot and has a lot of know-how.
(I'll invite you again next time) I hope you will accept my invitation next time.
