Are you suffering from thyroid or PCOS? And weight loss is a major concern? Here’s an expert candid conversation with Dr. Simran Pahalani, Leor Skin Clinic, Pune with Priyanka Parshurami, where the Doctor sheds light on how body contouring treatments are safe and effective.
Weight loss can already feel challenging, but for women with thyroid issues or PCOS, it often feels doubly frustrating. Are body contouring treatments even safe in such cases?
Dr. Simran: That concern is completely valid. Weight loss in thyroid or PCOS isn’t just about fat; it’s deeply hormonal and metabolic. Body contouring treatments can be safe, but only when they are non-invasive, medically supervised, and customised.
Which treatments are usually considered safer for these patients?
Dr. Simran: We prefer technologies that don’t interfere with hormones. EMSCULPT NEO works well because it strengthens muscles and reduces fat locally. Whole Body Cryotherapy helps with inflammation and metabolic support. Radiofrequency-based contouring improves circulation and skin firmness, which is often compromised in hormonal conditions.
Can these treatments replace traditional weight loss methods?
Dr. Simran: No, and that’s important to clarify. These treatments support weight loss, but they don’t replace medication, diet, or hormonal management. Think of them as structured support, not shortcuts.
What mistakes do you see patients commonly making?
Dr. Simran: Self-prescribing treatments or expecting instant results. Weight loss with thyroid or PCOS is slower, and unrealistic expectations often lead to disappointment.
Who should absolutely avoid starting without consultation?
Dr. Simran: Anyone with uncontrolled thyroid levels, recent medication changes, or untreated PCOS symptoms should always consult before starting any body contouring plan.
