When you combine semaglutide weight loss with Emsculpt body contouring, you get a safe and effective way to lose weight, tone your body and build muscle. And this isn’t a temporary “fix.” With diet and moderate exercise, you can maintain the form you’ve always wanted.

Why do both?

Semaglutides send signals to your brain that you are full, resulting in a decrease in your desire to eat — and that means weight loss. But with reduced calorie intake, your body dips into its own energy stores to maintain, and muscle tone can be sacrificed.

Semaglutides can help you drop unwanted pounds, but dieting alone can result in a nearly 40% loss of muscle. And good muscle tone is important, especially as you get older. More muscle helps you to maintain a higher metabolism, which equals more efficient weight maintenance.

To reverse the effect of muscle loss, strength training is vital. With strength training, you lose unwanted fat, but you will still continue to build muscle — and EmSculpt plays a vital role.

How does EmSculpt work?

EmSculpt gives you a jump-start on muscle building. The non-invasive HIFEM® procedure induces powerful muscle contractions not achievable through voluntary contractions. When exposed to these strong contractions, the muscle tissue is forced to adapt to such an extreme condition. It responds with a deep remodeling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and sculpting of your body.

So, combining weight loss drugs and EmSculpt will give your body the extra oomph it needs. The drugs will help you lose excess weight, and EmSculpt will act as the catalyst for your workout program.

As you slim down with semaglutides, EmSculpt ensures that you are building a toned, sculpted body and not just losing fat. You will build muscle and strengthen your body, which is so important for healthy weight loss.

This duo will deliver a body transformation that fits into your lifestyle without laborious workout routines or restrictive diets. It’s ideal for those who have limited time.

How Much Time Will It Take?

Semaglutides start working immediately, but noticeable effects begin within two to four weeks.

Within the first one to two months, most people will see noticeable weight loss. The average is about one to two pounds per week, and the typical person will lose about 15% of their body weight by three to six months and potentially 20% or more in a year.

With EmSculpt, a 30-minute treatment with minimum of four sessions scheduled two to three days apart is recommended. DeSilva Dermatology can help you create a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals.

You will feel tangible results immediately after the treatment. Positive results are usually reported two to four weeks after treatment, and will continue to improve for several weeks.

Do I Really Need to Combine Semaglutides and EmSculpt?

Semaglutides are great for weight management, but if lifestyle changes are not made, weight will return as fat instead of muscle. It’s important to combine the medication with a healthy diet and a treatment like EmSculpt. EmSculpt gives you an extra boost that takes the work out of strength training. So, yes — they work together quite well.

We offer two of the most effective, non-surgical body sculpting procedures available today. Read on to find out which one may be right for you.

truSculpt ID

truSculpt ID® utilizes monopolar radiofrequency energy to gently heat fat cells so they can be flushed from the body. It is effective on many different fatty areas, such as:

• the stomach
• the flanks
• the buttocks

Each session takes about 20 minutes. Based on a free body consultation, we will recommend how many treatments will be required to achieve the results you want. You can even treat more than one area at a time. And there’s no downtime after each procedure. You can return to your regular schedule immediately.

truSculpt ID procedures are typically described as feeling like a hot stone massage. During treatment, the temperature of your skin will rise but remain comfortable. It’s effective and safe — and the results are even and consistent.

EMSCULPT®

EMSCULPT® uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to cause muscle contractions beyond what the body can achieve on its own. The result is intense fat burning and muscle building at the same time. EMSCULPT® can be used on problem areas such as:

• the stomach
• the buttocks
• the arms

The procedure feels like an intense workout — but one that you can lay down and relax during!

It will give you a toned, sculpted look with just a few treatments. There’s no downtime afterwards, and you can return to your regular schedule immediately. Most patients benefit from a package of treatments spaced every few days for a few weeks, during which time you’ll see results like greater muscle mass and less fat. It’s been FDA-approved for five different body parts and is most effective on the abdomen, buttocks and arms.

We can customize your treatment package to meet your fitness goals and return for enhancement treatments as needed.

Which Treatment Is Best for You?

The most important thing to consider when choosing between truSculpt ID® and EMSCULPT® are your body sculpting goals.

truSculpt ID® is optimal for fat reduction and, as an added benefit, provides some mild skin contraction.

EMSCULPT® is recommended for patients who want to build muscle mass, strengthen their core and achieve definition.

During your free body contouring consultation, we’ll help you choose which treatment is right for you. Or, a combination of both treatments may help you achieve optimal results.
