Medical weight management
An individual assessment of health, history, previous attempts, medication, risks and realistic monitoring.
Body
Your body is not a problem to be fixed.
It is possible to discuss weight, fat distribution, skin changes, cellulite and intimate concerns without shame, pressure or unrealistic promises.
The approach
Health first. Proportion second. Pressure never.
Body concerns are often influenced by hormones, medication, pregnancy, ageing, genetics, sleep, stress and metabolic health. A consultation looks for context before recommending a cosmetic or medical route.
FemaleHealth is not a crash-diet programme and does not sell an ideal body. The goal is informed, medically appropriate care for adults.
What we can discuss
Stubborn fat pockets
Consultation about localised fat concerns and whether a non-surgical option, referral or no treatment is appropriate.
Skin laxity
Assessment of sagging or loose skin, including realistic limits of non-surgical treatments.
Cellulite and intimate concerns
Private discussion of cellulite and selected adult intimate-area concerns, including labial volume changes.
No before-and-after pressure
Your consultation will focus on your health, choices and expectations. You will not be compared with another patient or an edited image.
Private body and weight consultations for women
FemaleHealth offers adult women a discreet route to Dr Luhard at Medify in Waterkloof, Pretoria for medically assisted weight management and selected body treatments. Not every concern is suitable for a procedure, and not every procedure can achieve a surgical result.
Start with the correct category
Diffuse weight gain, a localised fat pocket, loose skin and cellulite are different concerns. They require different assessments and should not be marketed as though one treatment solves all four.
Questions
What women ask
Weight and body-composition measurements may be clinically useful, but the reason for measuring should be explained and handled respectfully. Tell the team if weighing is distressing for you.
Usually not. Non-surgical options have limits. Where surgery is the more appropriate route, an honest referral may be the best advice.
No. FemaleHealth's aesthetic, weight-management and intimate treatment services are intended for adults aged 18 and older.
