Abstract
The contemporary peoples focus on treatment of obesity in order to prevent the adult disease and to manage the beauty. Although surgical treatment of obesity shows the reliable cure effect, it could cause side effects and has a disadvantage that postoperative recovery period is long. Accordingly, this paper compares and analyzes the non-operative treatments which can be of help to treat obesity. Also, it considers the obesity therapy based on the Peltier cooling system. And finally a basic control circuit based on Peltier module is designed for Peltier cooling-based obesity therapy system.
