Each year, weight loss continues to rank among the most common New Year’s resolutions. And year after year, many people feel trapped in a cycle of ineffective methods. Are you wanting to shed those extra pounds and regain your confidence? Have you tried all the fad diets, workout classes and videos, but still aren’t seeing results? There are many misconceptions regarding weight loss and fat loss, which can make it difficult to determine what actually works. There are several effective medical treatments that can help you lose weight easily and eliminate stubborn fat, such as CoolSculpting and Semaglutide. Continue reading to learn about these treatments and find out which may be best for you.

What is Coolsculpting?

CoolSculpting, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive procedure that eliminates stubborn fat by freezing off fat cells in the targeted area. Depending on the treated area, the process takes between 35 minutes to 3 hours. It is recommended to have at least two sessions of CoolSculpting for optimal results. After each treatment, your body will begin to abolish the dead fat cells, resulting in eliminating up to 20-25% fat in the area(s) you choose. CoolSculpting may be perfect for you if you are looking to spot-reduce fat, since losing weight from dieting and exercise will not target specific areas.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a weight loss medication that improves overall health and wellness by slowing down the body’s appetite and enhancing insulin levels. The injections are medically administered once a week. Semaglutide imitates the hormones produced naturally in the body, which in turn increases insulin secretion, blood sugar levels, and overall glycemic control. This will then slow down your digestion, make you feel fuller for a longer period and allow you to eat less calories and still feel satisfied. Patients who have used Semaglutide lose an average of 3-8 pounds a week. Many doctors will create a specific plan to minimize side effects, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Benefits of Pairing CoolSculpting and Semaglutide

Though both CoolSculpting and Semaglutide are effective weight loss treatments individually, if you are wanting to see optimal results, consider pairing the two together. These treatments address different types of fat: CoolSculpting targets subcutaneous fat, while Semaglutide focuses on visceral fat. Though Semaglutide can help you lose weight overall, CoolSculpting can help target specific areas of stubborn fat. On the other hand, because CoolSculpting can only reach specific areas, Semaglutide can help you lose overall fat that CoolSculpting can’t touch. The outcome is a comprehensive, sustainable weight loss strategy that not only transforms your physical appearance but also elevates your mental health and self-esteem.
