13.01.2022 Use of Saxenda for Weight Loss Saxenda is likely one of the best weight loss medications that exist on the market right now. It is clinically proven and works by safely controlling your hunger through acting on receptors in the appetite control center of the brain. As well as this, Saxenda also postpones the emptying of your stomach, causing you to feel fuller quicker and for a longer period of time. By reducing your appetite, it will help you keep to a calorie-controlled die...t and achieve your weight loss goals. Saxenda also helps due to its impact on various hormones including leptin, insulin, and glucagon. These hormones are responsible for metabolism, how much energy we burn at rest and how the body stores and burns fat. Using Saxenda can actually help bring these hormones back into normal balance and help you lose weight in the process. Numerous studies have shown that patients using Saxenda can lose around 10% body fat, a significant amount of weight, over just 12 weeks of use. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of using this medication is the cost. Saxenda costs about $400 per month. At WaistWise we have been helping patients successfully lose weight and lead happier lives. Find more about how you can lose weight and see how successful you can be on the weight loss journey! Call 9088 8177 to book an initial bulk billed appointment .

12.01.2022 Hi everyone - below is my take on tonight’s announcement re AZ vaccine There continues to be ongoing data collection & studies for various vaccinations. lately there has been reports of a few people developing clots esp in the brain ( risk also with COVID19) Last night while I was watching BBC, I happened to catch the announcement by Authorities in the United Kingdom that people under 30 be offered an alternative COVID vaccine to the AstraZeneca/Oxford shot. ... This recommendation came after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) found a possible link between the vaccine and blood clots. This is being investigated further. It’s important to note there’s still no conclusive evidence the vaccine is causing the clots . But in line with other European countries Australia has also taken a step to use AZ vaccine with caution in people under 50. Risks & Benefits Everything we do in life every medication we take, every vaccine we take/give has a risk & we just need to be aware that every day we balance risk versus benefit, usually without thinking about it." The risk to keep this in context in Australia, where COVID-19 has been well controlled, we have lost more than 900 people to the disease: that's about one in every 30,000 people. In the US, about one in every 600 people have died from the virus. There is ongoing high levels of transmission across the world. The more cases there are, and longer we delay vaccinating people, the higher the likelihood is of new variants of the virus emerging and vaccines being less effective. We in Australia are in a great place with no known community transmission cases currently. Despite the low numbers, we’ve seen outbreaks stemming from hotel quarantine. It is impossible to predict what’s going to happen in the future. So current recommendations 1. Pfizer or other vaccines are preferred over the AstraZeneca vaccine in adults aged less than 50 years (but we dont' have any other vaccines at the moment in Australia - so ideally hold off and watch the space ) 2. Adults under 50 years of age should have AstraZeneca vaccine only where benefit clearly outweighs the risk for that individual’s circumstances. 3. People that have had their first dose of the COVID-19 AstraZeneca without any serious adverse events can safely be given their second dose. 4. People who have had blood clots associated with low platelet levels after their first dose of COVID-19 AstraZeneca should not be given the second dose. We are starting our COVID Vaccine clinics from coming Sunday which will go ahead as planned. However patients under 50 years are advised to await further information on https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus & then decide regarding getting vaccinated . In the meantime we should all start getting the flu vaccine Thanks Dr Binay Kumar

07.01.2022 Laser Hair Removal : 8 things you need to know before having the treatment 1.Laser hair removal is governed by strict regulations. Having it done at a medical clinic ensures that all the staff are qualified and that the equipment is medical grade & TGA approved. 2. Patience helps: It takes a few weeks to see a difference, and 6-8 treatments to get the full results. Its important to have regular treatments as the hair follicles are all at diff stages of their growth & you wa...nt to make sure each one has a chance to get zapped. 3. Make sure you shave the area before you go for your laser treatment. 4. Think seriously about sun : Your Nurse will advise what is best for you, but avoid sun exposure before and after treatment. Also if you have a tan you’ll need to wait till it fades before starting treatment. 5. You may need to stop your beauty products eg : Scrubs, glycolic acid and retinol creams 2 days before and after treatment. 6. Laser hair removal can help with irritating ingrown hairs & can give smooth flawless skin. 7. Our Medical Grade Lasers work for all skin tones 8.
