The final day of the 3rd 2021 Lecture Seriesbegan with Prof. Dr. Antony Barbosa. Continuing the healthy weight loss theme, his lecture was titled “Weight Loss Programs Using the Body Harmonization Technique (HAC).”
The specialist began by addressing the concept of weight loss and broadening the parameters when assessing body composition (lean mass and fat). He also stressed that weight loss does not apply only to obese or overweight people, but to anyone who wants to reduce their body fat percentage.
“ Body Harmonization must bring exclusive protocols for each case, which is why the initial assessment and medical history are so important for identifying the patient's profile and carrying out the proper treatment plan for an effective result,”, explained the Aesthetic Pharmacist.
Prof. Dr. Antony also points out that professional and patient must work together in this process, and that to achieve results, 70% of the work depends on the patient and 30% on the professional's techniques. “Medications help a lot, but the patient needs to adjust their lifestyle,”, he emphasized.
Drawing on his vast knowledge of actives, the specialist detailed the blends most used in body-definition programs and as a way to support the healthy weight loss process.
Exercise physiology is a topic at the Lecture Series
Giving the event's final lecture, Professor Gilberto Martinez, a physical education instructor and specialist in Exercise Physiology, addressed the topic “How to boost weight loss with the tools of Exercise Physiology”.
According to the specialist, exercise needs to be aligned with aesthetic treatment protocols to bring effective results to the patient. “How to boost weight loss is a question everyone wants to know. And since exercise physiology is a reality for aesthetic professionals, it is worthwhile for them to adopt these techniques as work tools, to be more efficient. That way, with exercise physiology, the professional has a parameter to prescribe the most accurate and personalized protocol,”, explained Professor Gilberto.
In the healthy weight loss process, besides aesthetic treatments and an exercise routine, it is necessary to understand the particularities of each body and the patient's physiology as a whole. That way, it is possible to boost results through more targeted treatments.
As on the previous days, the final day of the 3rd Lecture Series included a prize drawing from this edition's sponsors. The items raffled by the brand Use Emmy were a cap and turban kit, and two lab coats. The distributor Estética Bio raffled a facial fluid and a 180 g body butter.
In addition to entering the prize drawings, event participants enjoyed live band entertainment during the breaks. A reminder that the lectures come with micro-certificates issued by the institution, and participants can access them through the Student Portal.
