Part 2: Non-Surgical Treatments to Complement Your Weight Loss Injections
- Posted on: Aug 7 2024
Going on a weight loss journey and succeeding can be very satisfying, regardless of how much weight you lose. With semaglutide treatments making weight loss easier to handle than ever, more people are finding it simpler to reach their desired results. That said, weight loss injections don’t always remove weight from where you want it, leaving other concerns behind, including stubborn fat pockets, sagging skin, hollowness and more. The amount of weight you lose will determine what concerns may arise.
Adding the right non-surgical treatments into the mix to improve your results and get your body looking exactly how you want it to look is a great way to enhance your aesthetic journey. Read this blog to find out which treatment from Azul works best for your needs.
How Weight Loss Injections Can Help You
Injectable weight loss solutions are treatments you get in the medical office to support your weight loss journey. They were made to mimic GLP-1 hormones, the compound in your body that is responsible for the feeling of hunger. The treatment was initially used to treat diabetes, but it was eventually proven effective for weight loss as well.
Once the treatment begins, the receptors send your body the message that you are full, preventing you from overeating. Weight loss injections can be taken in the long term, depending on how much weight you want to lose. Within a week or two of the treatment, you may notice that your hunger has reduced, you no longer have as many cravings, and the numbers are dropping from the scale faster than usual.
Top Non-Surgical Treatments to Support Your Journey
Weight loss injections are a great way to reduce weight, but very often, excess skin remains behind. If you have lost significant amounts of weight and are looking to smooth your contour, you can check our suggestions for surgical weight loss solutions. However, non-surgical solutions may be more appropriate if your journey is just starting or you have only lost a few pounds:
1. Morpheus8™
If you are dealing with sagging skin after weight loss, then Morpheus8™ is the ultimate skin-tightening treatment you can try. The treatment uses microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) technology to trigger new collagen and elastin production. Additionally, while this is not the main target of the therapy, RF technology can also promote fat reduction. As the adipose tissue melts, you can eventually notice a smoother contour in the treated area over time.
2. Ultherapy®
If most of the sagging skin is found in the neck, brow, chin, or chest, then Ultherapy® is a reliable technology that offers a contouring effect. The treatment uses sound wave energy (in other words, ultrasound) to penetrate the muscles and trigger their contraction. Eventually, as the muscles contract over and over, they will continue to shrink, leading to a smoother, contoured silhouette. Not only can this treatment tighten the excess skin, but the muscle contractions can also aid the slimming efforts.
3. Dermal Fillers
If your weight loss has led to a reduction in facial volume and hollowness, another solution to complement your look is dermal fillers. The effect is quite common with weight loss, especially if you lost a significant amount of facial fat. If areas like your brows, lips, cheeks, or jawline are sagging, the hyaluronic acid in the dermal filler can offer an immediate volume boost. Hyaluronic acid triggers long-term collagen production, which rejuvenates your skin and can make longer term solutions.
