If you’re starting your weight loss journey, you may be on the lookout for tips and treatments to help meet your body goals. Whether you’re living with obesity or simply looking to tighten and tone, we’ve got an option for you.
Fat reduction treatments are all the rage, gaining rapid momentum in recent years. Today they are one of the top five minimally invasive cosmetic procedures on the market. Better yet, there are numerous medspa weight loss solutions available—including the new frontrunner, semaglutide—each with its own benefits and ideal candidates.
Semaglutide vs. Other Medspa Weight Loss Treatments
Let’s compare semaglutide with other medspa weight loss treatments so you can find the best option to meet your needs:
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a medication that’s commonly used to control blood sugar by increasing insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide helps with weight loss by reducing blood sugar levels and discouraging binge eating. It’s the ideal treatment for full-body weight loss as opposed to targeted fat reduction in specific areas. For optimal results, you should use semaglutide injections to supplement an improved diet and exercise.
Treatment entails weekly injections at the same day and time each week, with the initial dosage increasing gradually over a four-month period until you’re receiving the full dose. From there, results speak for themselves: Patients who take 2.4 mg weekly lose an average of 6 percent of their body weight by week 12 and 12 percent by week 28.
Good candidates are adults with a body mass index greater than 30 or 27 and up with a weight-related medical problem. You shouldn’t take semaglutide if you’re at risk of developing a thyroid C-cell tumor or are allergic to its ingredients.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting uses fat reduction and body contouring technology to permanently freeze fat cells. Developed around cryolipolysis—the use of cold temperatures to kill fat cells—it works by causing the lipids inside fat cells to freeze and break down. Fat cells are then eliminated naturally after CoolSculpting treatments through the lymphatic system.
CoolSculpting treats several target areas and concerns, including abdominal fat, love handles, muffin top, double chin, neck fat, back fat, buttocks fat, inner/outer thigh fat, knee fat, upper arm fat, and male chest fat. Fat reduction can be seen within 2-3 months following CoolSculpting but may begin to show up in as soon as three weeks.
Ideal candidates are within 5-10 pounds of their target weight with pinchable fat that they would like to remove without surgery or intense diet and exercise.
EmSculpt NEO
EmSculpt NEO is designed to sculpt the body, strengthen underlying muscles, and eliminate excess fat using radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies.
By stimulating muscle contractions, EmSculpt NEO treatments help to push your body beyond what’s achievable during a typical workout session. EmSculpt NEO treatments create a well-toned appearance in the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs.
After an EmSculpt NEO treatment, the immune system naturally eliminates fat cells in 4-8 weeks. It’s most effective when used to complement a healthy lifestyle. Good candidates for EmSculpt NEO are in their ideal weight range and in good shape overall.
EMTONE
EMTONE utilizes thermal and mechanical energy to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Here’s how: EMTONE addresses the root causes of cellulite formation, including loss of elastin and collagen, fibrous bands that pull skin downward, and poor blood circulation.
EMTONE tightens skin tissue to result in a 93 percent reduction in cellulite after final treatment—and no, it’s not too good to be true! Ideal EMTONE candidates are looking to eliminate moderate, unwanted cellulite in treatable areas such as the buttocks, thighs, arms, and abdomen.
Z Wave
Z Wave transmits powerful sound waves into tissues for enhanced body contouring and cellulite treatment. The body naturally responds to sound waves with heightened metabolic activity in the form of lymphatic drainage and increased blood flow.
As a result, Z Wave improves the appearance of cellulite and enhances other body contouring procedure results with an easy recovery. Energy spreads radially to enhance the treatment effect following other medspa weight loss solutions.
Z Wave achieves noticeable shrinkage and tightening of skin after just a few treatments; however, 10 or more sessions within 3-4 weeks are recommended for cellulite reduction. Enhanced body contouring depends on the specific treatment and condition.
