What Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options Are There?

Unfortunately for some people, losing weight is just a lot harder than others. This can be down to health conditions or genetics, or weight put on during pregnancy. For these people, it can be harder to move the needle on the scales in a positive direction, even with a healthy diet and exercise. Some people may find they can lose weight, but that stubborn areas of fat are impossible to get rid of. The culprits here are often the stomach, hips, and thighs.

This can be immensely frustrating, especially for those that have friends who can lose weight with ease.

Thankfully, there are a number of nonsurgical weight loss options out there, and we offer some of the very best here at Xanadu Med Spa, Fort Collins. This new wave of body sculpting and contouring procedures requires very little downtime, leaves no scars, and requires no surgery. What’s even more incredible is that they are just as effective as the more traditional cosmetic surgery options.

Many people come to us after losing a lot of weight because they are unhappy with the excess skin or stubborn fat areas they cannot seem to crack.

There are a number of treatments that we may suggest here. A trained esthetician from our team will begin by arranging a free initial consultation. In this meeting, they will evaluate your body and discuss your goals, before tailoring a bespoke plan specifically designed for you.

We offer both the CoolSculpting and EmSculpt NEO treatments in our Med Spa Clinic. We only use the very best, cutting-edge technology when it comes to our treatments. Both treatments have FDA approval, too, putting your mind at ease.

Body Sculpting at Xanadu Med Spa

As one of the country’s leading med spas, we are proud to be recognized as one of the industry’s finest by the Silicone Review, who added us to their list of top 50 companies to watch this year.

This is because our approach to our clients and our dedication to pushing the boundaries of the industry are second to none. We train our staff to a standard that is unrivaled, allowing us to offer the best service, and provide the strongest results to each and every client.

Our CoolSculpting treatment allows us to target fat cells deep in the body, using cryiolisis to freeze and kill them. This provides a huge reduction in the body’s natural fat deposits, some of which may be difficult to remove through diet alone.

Then we have our EmSculpt NEO treatment, a revolutionary treatment that not only allows us to target and remove fat, but can also build muscle mass as the same time, for a double-edged sword.

Clinically proven results from treatments that have been proven to remove fat and build muscle

Here at Xanadu, our research team is always on the lookout for new revolutionary treatment that can pass our strict guidelines. We only use clinically proven procedures that are equally safe and effective, and we ensure our staff are given the best possible training before offering the treatment to our clients.

This scrutiny ensures every aspect of the treatment and its safety are known to us.

Compared to weight loss surgery, both of our FDA-approved nonsurgical weight loss options can help you get rid of excess weight with very few potential side effects. Even if you are one of the unlucky few who suffer a small reaction, they are much milder, and will rarely last more than a few days. Compared to the risks involved with normal weight loss or bariatric surgery, the difference is night and day.

This makes it a lot easier to enter your weight loss journey with confidence, knowing the weight loss procedure we choose for you will be safe and carried out by expert, qualified estheticians.

The two nonsurgical body sculpting treatments we offer, CoolSculpting and EmSculpt NEO, both come with full FDA-approval, meaning they have been tested to the highest standards.

Body Sculpting with CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that eliminates stubborn fat without the need for invasive surgery. This FDA-approved procedure uses controlled cooling to target and freeze fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fat in the targeted area.

The body then naturally eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a slimmer and more sculpted physique. CoolSculpting is a great option for individuals who are looking to reduce body fat and contour their bodies without surgery.

The procedure is safe, effective and requires no downtime. The procedure can be used to target isolated areas of stubborn fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. The procedure involves the placement of a cooling panel to the targeted area of the body. The panel cools the area to a temperature that is just cold enough to freeze the fat cells without causing any damage to the skin or surrounding tissue.

The cold temperature of the panel causes the fat cells to crystallize and die. The dead fat cells are then flushed out of the body naturally by the lymphatic system. The results of CoolSculpting can typically be seen within two to four months.

The results can vary from person to person, but can be long-lasting with the right lifestyle choices. CoolSculpting is a great option for individuals who want to reduce fat without surgery.

Freezing fat cells has been proven to provide effective fat loss in the following areas:

• Belly fat & mummy tummy.
• Muffin tops.
• Back fat.
• Bra fat.
• Love handles.
• Thighs (inner and outer).
• Moobs (male breasts).
• Knee fat.
• Double chin fat.
• Ankle fat (cankles). 

CoolSculpting can also improve elasticity in the skin and can help improve the appearance of the skin in certain areas of the body where fat has been reduced. CoolSculpting can help reduce the appearance of cellulite and also helps tighten and tone the skin in areas where fat has been eliminated.

The decrease in fat can have a positive effect on the skin’s elasticity, making it appear tighter and firmer. Additionally, CoolSculpting treatments can be combined with other treatments such as radiofrequency skin tightening to further improve skin elasticity..

Body Sculpting with EMSculpt NEO

EMSculpt NEO is a body sculpting treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to target and tone both muscle and fat. This non-surgical procedure is designed to help reduce fat and build muscle simultaneously.

It works by sending electromagnetic energy into the targeted area, stimulating the muscles to contract. This helps to build muscle and burn fat, resulting in a more toned, sculpted appearance.

EMSculpt NEO also helps to improve blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, enhancing skin tone and elasticity. Treatment sessions are relatively short, lasting about 30 minutes each, with results typically seen after just 4 sessions. The procedure is safe for all skin types, requires no recovery time, and has minimal side effects.

Radiofrequency and Ultrasound Body Sculpting to Tighten Skin

Many of the radiofrequency and ultrasound procedures we use here at Xanadu, are perfectly safe to combine with our body sculpting treatments like CoolSculpting, and EmSculpt. Combining the two forms of treatment can stimulate more collagen production, increasing elasticity while removing fat at the same time.

The Benefits of Body Sculpting

The main benefits include:

• Massive increase in muscle mass.
• Removes stubborn fat and destroys fat cells.
