Remove Stomach Fat With Venus Bliss

Blog

If you are looking to slim and shape up your stomach, then Venus Bliss may be the option for you. With Venus Bliss, there is a way to remove stomach fat, and get a slimmer abdomen without having to resort to invasive surgical procedures. The technologies on Venus Bliss provide patients with a treatment solution that results in a smoother, and more contoured-looking midsection while giving the benefit of tighter, firmer, and more lifted skin.

What Is Venus Bliss?

Developed by Venus Concept, the leader in medical aesthetics technology, Venus Bliss creates a look of pure bliss. This non-surgical method has gained widespread recognition as one of the most effective approaches to reducing fat, cellulite, and toning and firming the abdomen. This non-invasive fat reduction technique aims to target stubborn areas of excess body fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. Often these fat cells can become unequally distributed throughout the body, leaving excess cells in one area that don’t seem to go away. Venus Bliss supports fat reduction in the abdomen without the use of surgery, expensive lotions or creams, or invasive procedures. Clinical trials have shown that the treatment induces lipolysis without the use of invasive methods. It delivers energy and heat to the abdomen safely and comfortably to remove stomach fat.

How Does Venus Bliss Remove Stomach Fat?

Venus Bliss features two in-demand technologies in one device.

It employs four diode laser applicators, which deliver laser energy that effectively penetrates the hypodermis to target fat tissue without causing harm to the skin surface. The disturbed fat cells are diminished or completely eradicated. The residual cellular remnants are transported through the lymphatic system. Each diode laser applicator is able to achieve lipolysis effectively, safely, and comfortably.

The MP(2) applicator is powered by multi-polar radio frequency and pulsed electromagnetic fields, along with advanced VariPulse technology. The combination of these technologies reduces the appearance of abdominal cellulite, resulting in smoother skin and an enhanced appearance of the abdomen.

What Contributes To Fat Formation In The Abdomen?

Factors that are responsible for contributing to fat formation in the abdominal area include:

  • Hormones, especially high levels of cortisol
  • Age
  • Lack of physical activity
  • Diet high in fats, sugars, and high-calorie foods
  • Smoking and alcohol consumption
  • Sleep deprivation

What Are The Benefits of Venus Bliss?

The benefits of Venus Bliss fat reduction for the abdomen include:

  • Have smoother, and reduced cellulite
  • Reduce unwanted fat with clinically proven diode laser technology
  • Tighten loose skin by boosting levels of collagen and elastin
  • Visibly reduce abdomen circumference
  • Reveal toned abdomen muscles below the skin’s surface
  • Smooth and contour your figure
  • No downtime or painful recovery process necessary

Is Venus Bliss Right For You?

Venus Bliss is a great fat reduction treatment if you want to achieve certain body goals without surgery, if you prefer safer and more comfortable solutions with natural results, and if you are seeking a procedure that has no downtime. However, you may not be able to get this treatment if you excessively tan, have open wounds, unrepaired abdominal hernia, are pregnant and/or breastfeeding, have a history of immunodeficiency disorders, have skin sensitivity disorders, currently use anti-platelets, anti-inflammatories, thrombolytics, anticoagulants, heavy aspirin, or have squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma.

What Is The Treatment Experience?

The treatment begins with the application of up to four laser applicators on your abdomen. After activating the device, you will feel a slight chill in your abdomen as the applicators heat up. Once the temperature is at an optimal level, the applicators will switch to cooling mode for another short period. This cooling and warming process will continue throughout the duration of your treatment as Venus Bliss maintains the required temperature in the fat layer. This cooling and warming feature is also made to keep you comfortable as well.

During the (MP)2 applicator for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, your Infinity MedSpa expert will gently massage the applicator over the targeted areas on the abdomen.

Each Venus Bliss abdomen treatment takes roughly 25 minutes to complete and is reasonably comfortable to experience.

When Can I Expect Results?

For optimal results, you should receive three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. A Venus Bliss treatment may be effective with just a single treatment. However, each patient’s body is different and the amount of treatments needed will vary per individual.

According to a study, 75% of patients expressed satisfaction with the outcomes of their Venus Bliss treatments and would endorse it to others. Additional clinical trials have demonstrated that Venus Bliss can reduce fat thickness by as much as 41% after a single treatment. This is equivalent to twice the amount of fat reduction of fat freezing devices.

Is Venus Bliss Safe?

Venus Bliss is cleared by the FDA for non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen and flanks in individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or less. The (MP)2 applicator is cleared by the FDA for temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. These technologies used in Venus Bliss are all proven to be effective and safe for all skin tones, and types.

Is The Treatment Painful?

It is normal to experience some discomfort as the skin warms up during the non-invasive process of targeting the underlying fat. This should be easily manageable, and not painful. In several studies on Venus Bliss, up to 90% of patients have reported that the process was comfortable. With no required downtime following your treatment session, you can promptly resume your regular daily activities.

Bikini Laser Hair Removal with Venus Versa

Blog

Come summer, there is always one thing that becomes a cause for concern: pubic hair or bikini hair. Temporary hair removal solutions like shaving, waxing, and plucking are only a quick fix. With Venus Versa, you can finally enjoy smooth, hair-free skin with results that last longer than traditional methods. It is an ideal solution for anyone looking to permanently reduce unwanted hair on their bikini area. For patients who are tired of shaving, waxing, plucking, and using messy depilatory creams, long-term laser hair removal treatments are an excellent option.

What is Venus Versa Laser Hair Removal?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Laser hair removal by Venus Versa is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced SmartPulse technology to permanently reduce unwanted hair on the bikini area. This ensures precise and consistent energy delivery through the advanced pulse optimization. The Venus Versa IPL system delivers 1.5 times more energy than the competitor in both the 515nm-600nm and 650-820nm therapeutic spectrums. Unlike other laser hair removal treatments, Venus Versa is quicker, more pain-free, and has more effective results.

How Does Venus Versa Work?

By using Venus Versa technology, IPL, and maximum heat are applied simultaneously to numerous hair follicles. Its energy reaches the deepest layers of the skin to target follicle pigment below the surface. This causes damage to the hair follicles and prevents strands from growing again.

The technology also ensures an even and consistent heat distribution, with a real-time cooling system to protect your skin and prevent any discomfort. Venus Versa is ideal for reducing ingrown hairs, a common side effect of other temporary hair removal solutions on the bikini area.

What Are The Benefits of IPL Treatment with Venus Versa?

There are so many benefits to having IPL laser hair removal on your bikini line, including:

  • No more ingrown hairs
  • No more need to let bikini hair grow for waxing
  • Enjoy swimming whenever you want
  • Softer and less irritated skin in this sensitive area
  • Safe for any skin tone
  • No downtime
  • Comfortable treatments
  • Safe and quick sessions

Am I A Good Candidate For This Treatment?

The most suitable candidate is someone who has unwanted hair on their bikini area and wants to reduce hair growth.

For safety reasons, it is possible you may not be able to get this treatment if you:

  • Are currently pregnant or nursing
  • Have a current or history of cancer
  • Have any diseases stimulated by light
  • Have a history of diseases stimulated by heat
  • Have poorly controlled endocrine disorders
  • Have any active condition in the treatment area
  • Have a history of skin disorders
  • Have had any surgical procedures within the last three months
  • Have a tattoo in the treatment area
  • Have excessively tanned skin

How To Prepare For IPL Treatment

Take the first step in the IPL hair removal process by scheduling a consultation with an expert at Infinity MedSpa. During the initial consult, our expert will explain how the process works, the number of treatments necessary, and how to prepare before and after each treatment.

In the two weeks before treatment, you should refrain from plucking or waxing the bikini area, since the hair follicle must remain intact. The skin must also be at its natural melanin levels during the treatment, so patients should avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least two weeks prior to the treatment. Before a Venus Versa hair removal treatment at Infinity MedSpa, you should ensure that your skin is clean and free of any creams, lotions, oils, or other products.

Is Venus Versa Safe?

The FDA has approved Venus Versa for use in 20 clinical indications, including hair removal. Other FDA approved indications include skin rejuvenation, facial wrinkles and rhytides, skin resurfacing, pigmented and vascular lesions, and acne vulgaris. Venus Versa is safe for all skin types, with no pain or downtime.

Is This Treatment Painful?

IPL hair removal should never be painful on the bikini area. The treatment utilizes a unique cooling system to ensure that the skin and temperature maintains at a safe and very comfortable level.

How Many Treatments Will I Need to See Results?

For Venus Versa IPL hair removal, most patients receive a series of six to ten treatments, spaced between six to eight weeks apart. The exact number will vary depending on each person’s skin type, treated area, and hair color and texture. The ideal patient for IPL is someone with light to medium skin tones, with darker hair. The darker the hair, the more easily it is to be treated. The treatment may work on darker skin tones, but there is a higher risk of discoloration because darker skin has more pigment in it. It may also not work on very light hair because the hair doesn’t have enough pigment in it to absorb the light. It is best to speak with an expert at Infinity MedSpa to see if the treatment is right for you, and how many treatments will be needed to reach your goals.

What Are The Side Effects?

Side effects of IPL hair removal treatments are minor and should subside within a few hours of treatment. Common side effects include swelling or redness to the treated area in the first few hours following a session. Everyone’s body is different, so side effects can vary.

What Is The Treatment Aftercare?

Natural and artificial sun exposure can both have adverse effects, so it is recommended that you avoid both for at least two weeks before and after treatment. Following the treatment, the bikini area should be gently cleaned twice a day. Hot baths should also be avoided for the first two days after treatment.

Infinity MedSpa experts will guide you through the proper aftercare instructions in order to minimize any risk of side effects.

Is There Any Downtime?

There is no downtime with Venus Versa IPL hair removal. Immediately after treatment you can return to your daily schedule.

SkinPen Microneedling in Newton, Massachusetts

Blog

As we age, our skin’s natural architecture deteriorates, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and uneven skin texture. At Infinity MedSpa, we proudly offer a safe, effective solution for your cosmetic concerns. The SkinPen is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art, FDA-approved micro-needling tool that is available only through medical professionals.

What Is The SkinPen?

The SkinPen is an FDA-approved micro-needling device that minimizes the appearance of fine lines, moderate-to-severe wrinkles, deep folds, and scars all over the face and body. This precise device allows for controlled induction of your skin’s own natural healing process. Micro-injuries in your dermis cause the formation of new and healthy collagen without causing scarring.

How Does The SkinPen Work?

The SkinPen micro-needling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to the remodeling of collagen and elastin. The SkinPen needles cycle at over 100 stamps per second, creating over 1600 micro channels per second when moving the device. In response to the needles, your immune system works to disinfect the wounds, increasing blood flow and creating healthier tissue. The blood vessels within the treatment site develop and rebuilds the wound with new granulation cells. As a result of the procedure, new blood vessels and dermal tissue are replaced, minimizing the signs of aging and improving acne scars’ appearance.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

SkinPen is a highly versatile micro-needling device that is safe and effective to use on many parts of the body, including the face, and neck. To determine if your trouble areas can benefit from this treatment, we recommend a consultation with our team of experts at Infinity MedSpa.
skinpen

What Conditions Can Be Treated?

The SkinPen medical grade microneedling device can treat the following conditions on the face and the body:

  • Sun damage
  • Age and brown spots
  • Fine lines and moderate wrinkles
  • Facial acne scarring
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough skin texture
  • Large pore size
  • Chickenpox and ice pick scarring
  • Perioral fine lines (smoker’s lines)
  • Crow’s feet
  • Post-surgical scarring
  • Stretch marks
  • Dull skin
  • Trauma scars

Is The Device Safe?

Results of extensive clinical trials have shown that microneedling with the SkinPen device is incredibly safe. The SkinPen is approved by the FDA for safety, and has also been approved by Health Canada, CE marked in Europe, approved by the TGA, and is ISO 13485:2016 certified as well.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Typically, patients receive three treatments spaced four weeks apart. The specific number of procedures required will vary depending on your individual treatment goals and current health of your skin. Typically, anti-aging treatments for winkles, lines, and folds require two treatments per year. However, you may need three to four treatments to achieve initial results in the first year. If you have deep stretch marks, or severe scarring, you may need up to six treatments for significant improvement.

What Can I Expect During Treatment?

Prior to treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize any pain or discomfort. During the treatment, your skin will be penetrated at a depth of roughly 1mm with tiny needles. The most common depths used range from .25mm to 2.5mm. Deeper penetration allows for enhanced absorption and more effective results when treating deeper scarring and stretch marks, or regions on your body where your skin is thicker. Patients report feeling a slight vibration of the SkinPen during this treatment. The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Other factors that could effect treatment time includes severity, health of your collagen, lifestyle, and more.

Is The Treatment Painful?

You should feel no discomfort or pain during your SkinPen micro-needling treatment. Topical anesthetic is applied before treatment, restricting blood flow to the treatment site so you cannot feel it. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during a SkinPen treatment, and commonly report that it feels like a prickly or ticklish sensation on their skin. During your initial visit, let us know if you have any concerns about the treatment, as we also offer Pro-Nox for pain relief and stress relief.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Immediately after SkinPen, your skin will look flushed and feel slightly warm and tight, almost like a sunburn. Redness typically resolves within 24 hours, but most patients experience some slight swelling and redness for two to four days following the microneedling treatment. The total healing time expected after treatment depends on each individual. Most patients enjoy a renewed radiance to their skin in the days following their treatment. As time passes, your skin will become tighter and smoother, with full results seen three to six months after your last treatment.

There is a brief, easy recovery process. After treatment we recommend:

  • Wear high-quality sunscreen
  • Minimize time spent in direct sunlight
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Eat nutriously
  • Refrain from drinking alcohol
  • Refrain from tobacco products
  • Avoid vigorous exercise for 25 hours
  • Wear gentle cosmetics safe for your skin
  • Remove makeup gently at the end of the day

When Will I See Results?

Throughout the course of several weeks, the natural repair process of your own skin will continue to progress. It may take up to three to six months following your final session to see the final result. It’s important to remember that damage that has occurred over an extensive period of time won’t disappear immediately, and individual results will vary.

Am I A Good Candidate?

The SkinPen device is incredibly safe for all skin types and skin tones, and nearly everyone is a good candidate. We recommend the procedure for ages 15 years or older. However, to best determine if you are an ideal candidate for the SkinPen, we recommend to come in for an initial consultation with one of our experts at Infinity MedSpa.

Pro-Nox for Rejuvenation Treatments

Blog

Throughout the years, many patients have expressed their desire for injectables, laser treatments, or peels, but are concerned with pain or anxiety. Some patients may have high tolerance levels for undergoing treatments, while others may need help feeling more comfortable. At Infinity MedSpa, we aim to provide each patient with a pain-free experience to achieve their goals. That is why we are proud to offer Pro-Nox, a patient-controlled analgesia for pain and stress management.

What Is Pro-Nox?

Pro-Nox is an FDA-cleared blend of 50/50 nitrous oxide and oxygen. Through self-administration, patients have full control over their treatment. The fixed mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen uses a specially designed on-demand value that delivers only medical gases when inhaled through the disposable mouthpiece. Since the patient is in charge, they can determine the amount and frequency of doses to calm their anxiety. It is that simple to enjoy a comfortable rejuvenation treatment!

Benefits Of Using Pro-Nox

There are many benefits of using Pro-Nox during treatments. Patient-administered Pro-Nox simply involves breathing through a mouthpiece until you achieve the desired level of pain relief. You will stay awake, but the discomfort will drop dramatically. The relief from Pro-Nox is instantaneous.

Nitrous oxide is a naturally occurring gas that acts as an anesthetic when inhaled. The gas quickly enters your bloodstream and gives a sedative effect. After several breaths of normal air, it completely clears from your body within minutes. It is non-addictive and you are able to drive yourself home after a brief waiting period. Other forms of medication require observation even after treatment is complete, such as IV or oral medications. With Pro-Nox, once the nitrous oxide has left your body, you are free to safely operate a car and resume your day.

Is This Similar To Laughing Gas At The Dentist?

This is not similar to laughing gas at the dentist. The concentration of nitrous oxide that is typically used for dental procedures is up to 70%, compared to the 50/50 mixture utilized by the Pro-Nox system. Unlike oral health procedures where patients have little to no control over the dosage administered, Pro-Nox gives patients full control at all times.

pronox

Who Is A Good Candidate?

The proven safety and effectiveness of Pro-Nox make it a great choice for almost anyone. During your consultation, you should discuss any pre-existing conditions, illness, or injuries with an expert at Infinity MedSpa to ensure Pro-Nox is right for you and your treatment.

When Does It Take Effect?

The 50/50 blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen takes effect within seconds of inhaling. The mixture provides benefits of increased comfort and reduced anxiety. The effects of this combination last for a few minutes at a time and is easily extended by self-administering the blend as needed.

How Long Does Pro-Nox Last?

Pro-Nox effects dissipate within 5-10 minutes of self administration, leaving no trace of the blend within the body. This 50/50 nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture allows patients to reap the benefits of an analgesic, while being able to carry on with their daily activities after. With Pro-Nox, patients can respond to pain or discomfort on their own terms, without disrupting the rest of their day. This makes it ideal for use during rejuvenation treatments, which are typically quick and do not produce lasting discomfort.

Which Rejuvenation Treatments Can Utilize Pro-Nox?

Pro-Nox is used for several of our procedures, and is appropriate for virtually any procedure that patients may find painful. As a result of Pro-Nox, the treatment itself will be much more comfortable for the patient, and can be used with either topical or injection lidocaine in order to provide additional comfort. Ask us to add Pro-Nox to the following rejuvenation treatments:

  • Microneedling
  • Micropeel
  • Dermal Fillers
  • Laser Treatments
  • Hair Rejuvenation
  • Joint Therapy
  • And more!

Why Would I Need Pro-Nox? Do The Treatments Hurt?

Comfort varies by patient, and certain patients find that some treatments are more tolerable than others. Each patient has reasons for desiring sedation or local anesthetic, but most patients desire maximum comfort. The patient controls Pro-Nox, which alone has a calming effect on patients who may be nervous. Patient comfort is high priority to us, and Pro-Nox is a way to complement effects of local anesthetic such as lidocaine for treatments.

Is It Safe?

Nitrous oxide is one of the oldest and safest forms of sedation. Pro-Nox is based on a long history of success using nitrous oxide as a analgesic. The 50/50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen has been used around the world for decades. This pain management alternative has been used in over 6,000 practices, including medical aesthetics, labor and delivery, regenerative medicine, ambulatory services, and more. In comparison of other sedatives, the advantage of the 50/50 nitrous oxide and oxygen mix is the calming effects that occur rapidly, and dissipate within minutes after completion of treatment. Pro-Nox gives the patients full control, and internal safety mechanisms automatically shut-off if either nitrous oxide or oxygen levels in the machine get too low. Patients do not need to arrange for transportation to and from appointments, and can resume normal activities once the effects wear off.

What Are The Side Effects of Pro-Nox?

During Pro-Nox use, patients describe feeling extremely relaxed and buzzed. You will experience a reduction, if not complete alleviation, of anxiety, pain, and tension. After a treatment with the nitrous oxide system, patients may experience brief side effects, including headache, dizziness, or nausea. Nausea usually subsides after a few minutes of breathing, while all side effects are often reduced or eliminated by eating and drinking before the treatment.

Ask Us About Pro-Nox At Your Next Visit

At Infinity MedSpa, located in Sudbury, Massachusetts, we care deeply about our patients’ safety, comfort, and satisfaction. If you have a sense of anxiety coinciding with your excitement about an upcoming rejuvenation treatment, or you have been procrastinating in taking that final step, Pro-Nox may be the catalyst that helps you make your move. Let us know if you would like to try Pro-Nox at your next appointment. For more information, contact us today at 978-579-4092.

Benefits Of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Marlborough, Massachusetts

Blog

As you age, your body starts to produce fewer hormones, and you experience unpleasant symptoms that make it difficult for you to function properly. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) can help people whose hormone levels become unbalanced, or whose bodies don’t make enough of certain hormones due to injury or surgery. With hormone replacement therapy, you can restore your hormone balance, and improve your health and overall well-being.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment that restores normal levels of hormones within your body when they are out of balance. At abnormal levels, hormones can lead to numerous uncomfortable symptoms. Unpleasant symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes, low libido, and more can occur without proper levels. This is where BHRT can help, using Biote hormone pellets from natural sources to balance your hormones. Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources, chemically identical to the ones within your own body. This makes it easy for them to be absorbed, as they mimic the body’s own hormones. This results in quicker, and more positive effects of the treatment. Having a balanced hormone system is beneficial to the entire body.

hormone pellet

What Causes Hormonal Imbalance?

Declining hormones can be related to aging. In women, declining progesterone and estrogen begin in the thirties, while testosterone declines in the fifties. In men, declining testosterone can begin as early as the forties. However, injury or surgery can also cause hormonal imbalance. Surgical removal of male or female sex organs can cause the need for hormone replacement. Similarly, injury often results in a decline or complete cessation of hormonal production.

How Does Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

Prior to treatment, a blood test is conducted to assess your hormone levels. The blood test results typically take about one week. These results will provide our experts with a proper assessment of your hormone levels in order to create an individualized treatment plan best suited for you.

The entire treatment will take about 10 to 15 minutes. During the treatment process, you will lie down in a comfortable position. Prior to inserting the hormone pellets, the skin is numbed with local anesthesia, followed by a small incision in the tissue of the hip or buttocks. The pellets, the size of a grain of rice, will be carefully inserted underneath the skin into the fat tissue. After the pellet is implanted, your body will begin to absorb the hormones and restore balance to your system. From there, your hormone levels will be tracked and analyzed to ensure you are benefiting from the treatment. Through hormone testing, our team at Infinity MedSpa can safely restore your hormone levels with bioidentical hormones.

Am I A Good Candidate?

If you are suffering from hormone deficiency, then hormone pellet therapy may be the right treatment for you. When you are over the age of thirty, your body is producing 3-10% less of critical hormones it needs as each year passes. For women going through menopause, BHRT can replace estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. For men who are going through andropause, BHRT can help with testosterone deficiency. This hormone method can give you a consistent dose of the hormones you need to keep the natural balance of your body.

What Can Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Treat?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can provide solutions for:

  • Hot flashes
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Testosterone deficiency
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Agitation
  • Headaches

What Are The Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Benefits of BHRT include:

  • Improves sleep
  • Increases libido
  • Reduces anxiety and depression
  • Increases energy throughout the day
  • Assists in weight loss
  • Reduces frequency of hot flashes
  • Decreases frequency of mood swings
  • Improves concentration and focus
  • Reduces bloating
  • Increases muscle mass and bone density
  • Diminishes migraine symptoms
  • Lessens vaginal dryness, pain, and discomfort during intercourse

When Will I See Results?

BHRT patients report improvement as early as 72 hours. Typically, patients can begin to experience relief within the first three weeks of treatment. The hormone pellets will continue to deliver consistent and healthy levels of hormones for up to four to five months. Results will vary among patients based on hormone deficiency and pellet dosage.

What To Expect After Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Immediately following pellet insertion, two layers of bandages cover the site. Outside pressure bandages should remain on for 24 hours, but must be removed immediately if wet. The inner layer, consisting of steri-strips, should remain on for the next three days. You may experience some bruising, swelling, and redness of the insertion site which typically lasts a few days up to three weeks. Avoid major exercises for the next three days, ensuring the area is dry.

Please give us a call if you have any concerns, and as soon as symptoms start to return to make an appointment for re-insertion.

What Are The Side Effects?

After pellet insertion, you may notice more energy, sleep improvement, and emotional balance. Muscle mass and bone density will increase, while decreasing fatty tissue. Hormone pellets also improve strength, co-ordination, physical performance, and sexual health, as well as skin tone and hair texture.

Other side effects include, temporary breast tenderness, which improves on it’s own. There may be temporary water weight gain which will also improve on it’s own. It is typical for patients to experience a mild form of “puberty” as hormone levels come up into normal ranges. This includes acne, cramping, bloating, mood swings, spotting, and tiredness. In majority of cases, these side effects are mild and occur after the patient’s initial dose of pellets as their body adjusts to the new hormone levels. Patients can adjust their dose of hormones if they experience unwanted side effects.

Contact Us Today

If you have been suffering from hormonal imbalance symptoms, know there is a solution that can improve your life on every level. The troublesome symptoms of hormone fluctuations do not need to hinder your life. Hormone pellet therapy is an effective treatment that offers real long-lasting benefits and can restore balance back to your life.

Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections in Framingham, Massachusetts

Blog

The pursuit of an effective and safe weight loss treatment seems endless. There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to losing weight. Fortunately, Infinity MedSpa offers semaglutide for effective weight management. Semaglutide weight loss injections are an extremely valuable tool that can help you achieve your goal of having better overall health and get you on track toward a healthy weight. With weekly injections, you will be able to reach your body weight goal without the need for unrealistic weight-loss programs.

What Is Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections?

Semaglutide, under the brand name Ozempic, was originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes but has also found a niche in helping people lose weight rapidly. It belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 RAs. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, prompting the body to produce more insulin, reduce blood sugar, and control blood sugar spikes. This improves insulin resistance, and energy by allowing calories and fat to be burned, and achieves more consistent energy levels. Higher levels of GLP-1 also lessen cravings and hunger. It has an impact on the brain’s hunger centers, lowering hunger, appetite, and cravings. Reduced hunger, prolonged fullness, and ultimately weight loss are the results. When used to treat obesity, this medicine should be used with frequent, healthful activity and a better diet.

Who Is Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections For?

Everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, can benefit semaglutide weight loss injections. Those who struggle with obesity or have health difficulties related to their weight should use semaglutide. It’s important to note that semaglutide weight loss injections are not an appropriate treatment for people who are for a short-term weight loss result. It is also not suitable for anyone looking to lose a small amount of weight, or for anyone who has a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or below. Patients who have a history of gallstones, pancreatitis, or risk factors for thyroid cancer are not eligible to take semaglutide. Patients with a history of allergic reactions to semaglutide or any other components of Ozempic should also avoid the injections. It is not advisable for women that are pregnant to take Ozempic.

How Should Semaglutide Be Used?

Before self-administering, ask an expert at Infinity MedSpa to show you how to properly self-administer before attempting to do it yourself.

Semaglutide weight loss injections come in a liquid dosage pen that should not be frozen and instead kept in the refrigerator. Always make sure to inspect the semaglutide solution before injecting as it should be clear, colorless, and free of particles. If Semaglutide appears colored, foggy, thickened, includes solid particles, or is past its expiration date, do not use it. After inspection, you can inject room temperature semaglutide into your upper arm, thigh, or abdomen area. Be sure to change (rotate) injection sites each week so that you are not injecting into the same area every week. In doing so, this reduces your risk of getting pits in your skin or thickened skin with skin lumps. If you need to change the day of the week that you administer semaglutide, ensure that it has been two or more days since your last injection before doing so. After injection, always remove the needle right after and dispose of them in a puncture-resistant container. Do not ever reuse needles and never share the needles or pens.

What Are The Benefits of Semaglutide Weight Loss Injections?

  • Real weight loss results
  • Suppresses appetite and reduces food cravings
  • Improved insulin resistance
  • Burns fat and boosts energy
  • Safe and effective
  • Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors associated with obesity
  • Boost confidence and appearance

How Quickly Does Semaglutide Work?

Many people find that their appetite reduces fairly early on after the weight loss injections. Although some individuals start seeing weight loss after just the first dose, each individual reacts differently to their treatment. The full effect of semaglutide can take 8 weeks or more as this is a long-acting medication. Patients will start their Ozempic treatment at lower does for the first 4 weeks to reduce the effects of possible negative side effects. The dose then gradually increases based on your toleration. By suppressing your appetite and increasing the feeling of fullness, it can reduce your calorie intake and allow you to lose up to one to two pounds a week. The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that showed that after four weeks of taking semaglutide, patients had experienced a 2% reduction in body weight. The loss continued, with patients losing an average of 14.9% of their body weight.

Effectiveness varies from person to person and may take longer due to unique factors that include age, weight, body fluid, medications, kidney or liver function, or other medical conditions. It may also take longer depending on how quickly you are able to achieve final maintenance does. It is important to commit yourself to a timeline of several months for the best results. Many people become discouraged when weight loss starts out slowly. But, it’s important to remember that although several months may seem like a long time, it is a healthy way of managing your weight and the changes you are making is a journey for the better.
