Weight Loss

At Nishitan Clinic we offer a menu of weight-loss options matched to your concerns and wishes, including the GLP-1 Hormone Injection, which helps build a body less prone to gaining weight, and a herbal weight-loss programme using Korean herbal (kampo) medicine.

GLP-1 Hormone Injection

Available Clinics: Ginza Clinic; Shinjuku Clinic

The hormones GLP-1 and GIP have attracted attention for supporting weight loss and beauty. These hormones control blood sugar after meals; when they are secreted in large amounts appetite is suppressed and fat breaks down more easily, so it is said you gain weight less easily and lose it more easily. Conversely, when secretion is low, appetite is not suppressed and you overeat, which ultimately makes weight gain more likely.
Nishitan Clinic's GLP-1 Hormone Injection programme lets you take these hormones into the body by self-injection or oral medication, improving your constitution so you can lose weight naturally.

Fat-Dissolving Injection: BNLS Ultimate

Available Clinics: Ginza Clinic; Shinjuku Clinic

The Fat-Dissolving Injection is a weight-loss treatment that uses injections to slim specific areas effectively. Because the fat cells themselves are reduced, rebound is limited. A single session is effective, but repeating it lets you feel the results more clearly. To help flush out the dissolved fat and waste products, we recommend combining it with GLP-1 (weight-loss injection or oral medication), Korean Herbal Diet Medicine, or the oral medication Met-Slim.

* To perform the treatment safely we may use a blunt-tipped needle. (Cannula fee JPY 2,200, tax included)

Met-Slim (Metformin)

Available Clinics: Ginza Clinic; Shinjuku Clinic

The Met-Slim diet builds a body less prone to gaining weight by taking medication prescribed by a physician.
A sharp rise in blood sugar from meals is what creates a body that gains weight easily.
Blood sugar spikes -> insulin is over-secreted -> glucose is produced -> leftover glucose turns into fat and is stored in the liver, muscles and fat cells ->
fat accumulates steadily, insulin works less well and blood sugar becomes harder to bring down -> you take in more carbohydrate (another spike), and you fall into a vicious circle.
Met-Slim works to lower blood sugar, curbing the over-secretion of insulin and building a body that stores fat less readily.
