Dnlike other treatments at LAK MedSpa, body contouring is not a single procedure or technique. Instead, our team in Wayzata, Minnesota, offers options that are tailored to your unique needs. For instance, it is important to distinguish between excess fat and excess skin. Some of the treatments we offer are better at treating one concern over the area, whereas others may be a little more versatile and can even build up muscle tissue, as muscle strength and mass can erode as we age.
We always like to stay ahead of the curve. Rest assured that any treatment available at our office provides a natural and nonsurgical alternative to refresh and renew your most authentic look. At present, treatment options include CoolSculpting®, CoolTone®, QWO®, and Emsculpt Neo™. We also offer semaglutide injections for weight loss.
If you have less extensive needs for weight loss, CoolSculpting® may be in your future. It is indicated to treat stubborn pockets of localized fat on the face/neck and body. These fat deposits are difficult to reduce, even with targeted exercise and a healthy diet. CoolSculpting® is based on the science of cryolipolysis, which refers to how fat cells respond differently than other types of cells when they come in contact with controlled cooling. We use special applicators to deliver such cooling to targeted areas, such as the “love handles” and tummy. In effect, we “freeze” the fat. Once the cells are damaged, they cannot “regrow” at the treated site. Additionally, we have invested in the “Elite” system, which allows us to treat two areas simultaneously. So, you make the most of your time with us!
Quite possibly! These treatments are also appropriate for individuals with localized, stubborn fat deposits. However, both therapies have added benefits. They also build muscle mass. The means that they employ to build up muscle differ. CoolTone® uses electromagnetic contractions to induce muscle contractions that are far stronger than anything you could achieve on your own at the gym. Emsculpt Neo™ uses RF (Radiofrequency energy) and HIFEM (high-intensity magnetic field) technology to also stimulate intense muscle contractions that ultimately tone, strengthen, and firm areas like the belly, buttocks, and thighs. In fact, a single treatment with these devices is equivalent to doing 30,000 squats. Wow.
Do not be discouraged! Your journey to a healthier weight and life is something to be celebrated. And there is a solution to this undesirable complication. Depending on your needs, we may recommend QWO® injections. We appreciate how cellulite dimpling can look worse in areas of significant weight loss or as the result of yo-yo dieting that stretches the skin.
Additionally, by introducing this prescription injectable to affected areas, QWO® smooths and firms the skin. It does so by triggering collagen production to soften dimples and other depressions. As appropriate, we offer a range of other nonsurgical skin tightening treatments. These therapies, too, stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to tighten and firm the skin without going under the knife.
Your needs are unique, so we encourage you to contact LAK MedSpa today to request a consultation. Our team in Wayzata, MN, can be reached at (952) 800-9335.
