Weight Loss Treatment with GLP-1 Semaglutide

How it works: GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide work by targeting multiple systems in the body to jumpstart your weight loss journey.

They slow the rate at which food leaves the stomach, thereby reducing caloric intake and prolonging the feeling of fullness.

GLP-1s also influence the part of the brain responsible for signaling hunger. They reduce those signals, helping you control cravings and stay full between meals. Additionally, they help regulate blood sugar levels, preventing energy spikes and crashes.

How long does it take to work?

• Within 1-4 weeks, you will notice early weight loss due to reduced caloric intake.
• 5-20 weeks, you will experience noticeable weight reduction as your body adjusts.
• Within 3-6 months, significant weight loss occurs, which can range from 5% to 15% of your body weight or more.

What are the benefits of GLP-1?

• Weight loss of up to 15% of your body weight
• Better appetite control
• Enhanced feelings of fullness
• Improved blood sugar regulation
• Lowered blood pressure and possibly improved cholesterol levels
• Reduced cardiovascular risk factors.

Combined Treatments for further sculpting and toning

Laser Lipo – What is Laser Lipo?

Laser lipo is a laser treatment that uses focused beams of light to target and break down fat cells in the body. It is relatively painless and has minimal downtime, making it perfect for busy individuals.

It complements GLP-1 therapy because we tend to hold fat in our stomachs, arms, thighs, and buttocks for longer. As we lose weight on GLP-1 therapy, adding laser lipo is a great way to sculpt those trouble spots.

How Does Laser Lipo Help with Weight Loss?

Laser lipo melts fat cells under the skin without causing damage. It breaks down fat and stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are released into the body and made available for removal through movement and exercise.

It works quickly, surpassing diet and exercise alone. Ideal for thighs, arms, stomach, and love handles, and it also helps remove cellulite for a more sculpted body.

What is Laser Fat Removal?

Laser fat removal is a newer treatment that is an alternative to traditional liposuction. It is used to target specific areas of the body, breaking down unwanted fat deposits by focusing laser energy on a specific area to destroy fat cells.

This process causes them to break down and be released into the lymphatic system for removal. Laser fat removal also encourages the production of new collagen, leading to tighter, more rejuvenated skin.

How Does Laser Fat Removal Help with Weight Loss?

GLP-1s can help you lose overall weight, but our Venus Bliss laser fat removal is the best option for targeting stubborn fat in specific areas like the stomach, thighs, chin, face, and neck.

It is one of our most popular treatments for specialized weight loss due to its ability to target stubborn fatty tissue beneath the skin without causing damage or discomfort.

Complementary Treatments

Skin tightening with our Venus Legacy system is a great way to address loose, sagging skin as we lose weight.

Using a combination of low-level lasers, radio frequencies, and magnetic pulses, a heat matrix is created that triggers our body’s natural healing process, which in turn activates new collagen formation.

This new collagen naturally tightens the surrounding skin. Ideal for skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, and reducing stretch marks, wrinkles, and signs of aging.

Body Contouring utilizes the Venus Bliss system for both laser treatments and skin tightening, targeting areas such as loose skin on the arms, cellulite on the thighs, a double chin, love handles, and a rounded abdominal area, among others.

The perfect complement to all of our other services to reach your desired body image.

Diet and Exercise: LightRx understands the importance of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining your results, which is why we offer video coaching to help you continue with our program and keep the weight off.
