Whether you desire an overall weight loss program or desire a targeted approach to a specific area of your body, Lasting SkinSolutions has a solution for you. A consultation with our cosmetic specialist can help you determine what approach is right for you.
Weight gain is often associated with insulin resistance. All patients with weight concerns should be screened for diabetes. Patients with these findings are at relatively high risk for the future development of diabetes. A laboratory work up will help us to see if you are suffering from insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or if you are experiencing low hormonal balance.
Lab Work Up Includes:
Treatment of obesity starts with comprehensive lifestyle management (ie, diet, physical activity, behavior modification), which should include the following:
Along with diet and exercise, oral supplements may be used to help treat insulin resistance and food cravings.
A glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1 agonist) medication like Semaglutide, known as Ozempic/Wegovy, and Tirzepatide, known as Mounjaro/Zepbound, can help people with obesity to lose weight by treating underlying insulin resistance.
These are the newest drugs used for weight management, which improve insulin sensitivity and target hormones in the gut and brain to reduce appetite. The self-administered weekly injections have been used to treat Type 2 diabetes for over a decade.
The dosage is increased slowly to mitigate side effects, therefore weight loss can take up to 1-2 months depending on the individual. However, a reasonable goal for weight loss in the setting of a medical treatment program is approximately 1-2 lb/week.
Some individuals may need to stay on a maintenance dose to maintain the level of desired weight loss. Others may be able to switch to the oral supplements as outlined above.
Laser Body contouring, or body sculpting, can eliminate fat, shape distinct areas of the body and tighten skin. This technique uses heat to destroy the fat cells eliminating these fat cells for good. At the same time, the heat aids to tighten the collagen in the area of treatment.
At Lasting SkinSolutions, we use Sentient Sculpt to diminish local areas of fat, resulting in thinner, more toned skin. This treatment is best for obtaining mild improvements in a discrete area of focus.
