2 Powerful Treatments to Support Your Body After Mounjaro
Tizepatide is a medication approved by the FDA in November 2023 for chronic weight management. The Mounjaro treatment involves weekly injections to support healthy weight loss.
At Stadia Med Spa, we’ve already treated many patients with tirzepatide who are happy with the results of their treatment. They lose weight and feel more confident and comfortable in their skin. However, it’s also pretty common among those who lose weight to experience a few unwanted side effects, including sagging skin and muscle loss.
In addition to Mounjaro injections, Stadia offers two powerful treatments that support your body as you lose weight! Skin tightening reverses sagging skin, and Emsculpt NEO builds muscle strength and tone! Keep reading for a closer look at how these treatments support your body after Mounjaro.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a weekly weight loss injection containing tirzepatide. This injection was created as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes. In essence, the drug mimics the hormones in your body that regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.
Tirzepatide activates the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which are involved in insulin regulation and glucose metabolism. When activated, the GLP-1 receptors slow down digestion, making you feel full longer.
Mounjaro also reduces glucagon levels. Glucagon is a hormone that tells the body to release stored glucose and convert it into energy.
When glucagon levels are high, your body tends to use stored sugar for fuel instead of burning fat. So, by lowering glucagon levels, the body is encouraged to use fat as a source of energy, which can contribute to weight loss.
The treatment itself is relatively straightforward. You are supplied with a month of Mounjaro injections. Then, once a week, you inject it into your thigh, belly, or buttocks.
Your Stadia Med Spa provider will guide you through the first injection and answer any questions you have before, during, or after you start your treatment! Mounjaro starts to work after your first injection! However, it may take several weeks or months to get your ideal results.
Of course, weight loss comes with its considerations, which is why Stadia Med Spa has two treatments we recommend after you lose weight with Mounjaro.
2 Powerful Treatments to Support Your Body After Mounjaro
Skin tightening and Emsculpt NEO are popular among Mounjaro patients because of how well they support your body after you’ve lost weight!
The average individual loses about 20% of their total body weight after a year of Mounjaro. And while that is an exciting prospect, it may come with some unwanted side effects.
The most common side effects we see at Stadia Med Spa are loose and sagging skin and a lack of muscle tone. So that’s why we recommend Skin tightening and Emsculpt NEO during or after your Mounjaro treatments.
Let’s take a closer look at how each treatment works and why they pair so well with Mounjaro.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening at Stadia Med Spa addresses visible signs of aging and skin laxity. The noninvasive treatment uses the Venus Legacy device to stimulate collagen and elastin production for tighter, more elastic skin. Venus Legacy creates a heat matrix with radiofrequency lasers and pulsed electromagnetic fields for an effective skin tightening treatment that reduces wrinkles, sagging, and cellulite.
The treatment targets areas like your arms, tummy, buttocks, legs, and thighs. It works well for those with rapid weight loss, muscle growth, or post-pregnancy bodies.
How it helps:
After Mounjaro weight loss, you may find you have sagging skin in a certain area, or many areas, of the body. When you gain weight, your skin stretches to accommodate the weight gain. Rapid weight gain may even cause stretch marks, a type of scar from the rapid stretching of the skin.
But if you then lose that weight, your stretched skin may not immediately shrink back down. It has less collagen and elastin than it needs to tighten back up.
The skin tightening treatment uses the Venus Legacy device to engage your body’s natural ability to heal itself. The laser and pulsed electromagnetic fields stimulate collagen and elastin production, which leads to tighter, firmer-looking skin and less sagging.
Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO
Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO are body sculpting treatments that simultaneously reduce fat and build muscle. Both treatments use high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIREM+) to stimulate intense muscle contractions. During a single 30-minute session, they contract the muscles over 20,000 times!
Emsculpt NEO takes it a step further by introducing radiofrequency (RF) heating technology to enhance muscle-building and fat-loss benefits. The combination of HIREM+ and RF heat creates even more dramatic results than the original Emsculpt treatment. It can improve body tone, build muscles, and reduce fat. This makes Emsculpt NEO our most comprehensive solution for those seeking a toned physique without the need for extensive gym sessions.
How it helps:
Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO are an excellent complementary treatment to Mounjaro because of their ability to build muscle tone. While weight loss injections focus on shedding excess pounds, Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO work on building muscle and reducing pockets of unwanted fat. If you want to shape your body after Mounjaro weight loss, Emsculpt and Emsculpt NEO provide a better overall body contour and muscle definition.
How to Safely Combine Mounjaro with Other Treatments
You should always work with a professional when you combine weight loss injections like Mounjaro with other cosmetic treatments. Make sure your providers are fully aware of all the treatments you are undergoing to ensure your safety and best results.
It may take some time to tighten sagging skin and build muscles, even with the help of skin tightening and Emsculpt NEO. Be patient and allow your body time to heal between treatments for the best results. You can also support your body by drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly.
