Moms are among the age groups most prone to obesity. According to Nature, a multidisciplinary science journal, maternal obesity is “a serious health crisis.” During pregnancy, for instance, obesity can have a significant impact on a pregnant person’s health.
But, as much as moms want to cure this, manage their way, and be the woman with the attractive figure they can be, many mothers today are preferring non-invasive weight loss treatments that won’t hurt. What are these treatments? Read along.
First, What Are Non-invasive Weight Loss Treatments?
Non-invasive weight loss treatments are procedures that target stubborn fat deposits without the need for surgery. These treatments utilize various technologies, such as cryolipolysis, radiofrequency, ultrasound, and laser therapy, to break down fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates. These treatments are designed to be effective without being painful. The appeal lies in their minimal downtime, safety, and the ability to resume daily activities almost immediately. Some popular non-invasive treatments for moms are as follows:
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG): A Non-Surgical Weight Loss Option
For mothers seeking a more comprehensive approach to weight loss without undergoing surgery, the non-surgical ESG treatment at Bariendo NYC offers a promising solution. ESG is a minimally invasive, incisionless procedure that reduces the stomach’s volume by approximately 70%, helping individuals feel full faster and consume fewer calories.
How ESG Works
During the ESG procedure, a flexible endoscope equipped with a suturing device is inserted through the mouth into the stomach. The physician then places sutures to create a sleeve-like shape, effectively reducing the stomach’s capacity. This approach does not involve any external incisions, resulting in no visible scars and a quicker recovery time compared to traditional bariatric surgeries.
What moms love about this:
- Minimally invasive
- Quick recovery
- Effective weight loss
- Reversible and repeatable
- No nutrient malabsorption

Wait Up! Before Undergoing Treatment… Here Are Considerations
While non-invasive treatments offer numerous benefits, it’s essential to approach them with informed expectations:
- Don’t rely on them entirely: These treatments are designed for body contouring and are most effective for individuals close to their ideal weight.
- Multiple sessions may be required: Depending on the treatment and individual goals, multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve optimal results.
- Lifestyle maintenance is a must (diet and exercise): Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine is crucial to sustain the results of any body contouring procedure.
- Consultation, consultation, consultation: Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine the most suitable treatment tailored to your individual needs and medical history.
Moms, remember, even if these treatments are non-invasive, it’s best to be safe than sorry. Also, always consult with a health professional before starting any treatment. Go ahead and invest in changing your outlook and boosting your confidence, gently and mindfully.
