Weight Loss
WHAT IS SEMAGLUTIDE?
Semaglutide is a medication primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which plays a role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.
​
When administered, semaglutide stimulates insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar, slows down the release of glucose from the liver, and delays gastric emptying, which can help control appetite and lead to weight loss.
​
Semaglutide is available under various brand names, such as Ozempic (for diabetes management) and Wegovy (for weight loss). It is usually administered via a subcutaneous injection, either weekly or as directed by a healthcare provider.
WHAT IS TIRZEPATIDE?
Tirzepatide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and is being investigated for its potential in managing obesity. It is a dual-acting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. These hormones play key roles in regulating blood sugar levels and body weight.
​
By activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide enhances insulin secretion in response to elevated blood sugar, reduces the release of glucose from the liver, and slows gastric emptying, which can help with appetite control and weight loss. This dual mechanism makes it more effective for glycemic control and weight reduction compared to other single-target treatments.
​
Tirzepatide is administered via subcutaneous injection, typically once a week. It's sold under the brand name Mounjaro for diabetes management and is being studied for further applications in weight loss.
How the weight loss therapy works
Dual Coherent laser wavelengths of 680nm and 980nm supercharge the metabolism and stimulate the fat cells to open and release intra-cellular fat, water, and toxins. The stored fat energy is then utilized by the body through the natural metabolic process of ATP synthesis. The by-product carbon dioxide (CO2) is exhausted through respiration. The remaining water and toxins are then excreted out of the body via urine and sweat. The detoxification process will allow the body to operate at an optimum level to improve overall health and wellness.
​
invisa-RED™ treatments also increase collagen and elastin production within the epidermal and dermal layers to effectively tighten skin while the patient loses weight.
How many treatments do I need?
Patients will start their program by focusing on losing their first 20 pounds of body fat which is usually around twenty-four treatments. If the patient needs to lose more than 20 pounds of fat they will continue treatments until their goal is reached. Two to three short treatments per week is recommended for the duration of your treatment schedule.
​
Treatment session needs vary from client to client. A consultation with a clinician will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you will need to achieve your desired results.
Will there be any downtime?
No. The treatments are non-surgical, non-evasive and pleasant. Treatments are very relaxing, and studies show the effectiveness of our technology in weight reduction without any of the side effects of invasive procedures or adverse reactions.
