]]> Medical Weight-Loss options have been all over the media for a few years now, and the impact it can have on the user’s life is unbelievable.
This is Mary. Her experience with medical weight loss in Philadelphia completely changed her life. 
Always a skinny kid, when high school was over and team-sports practice ceased being a part of everyday life, she watched with dismay as the numbers on the scale kept increasing. At her heaviest point she weighed 235-pounds, and over the course of the past 20-years Mary tried every diet, workout, cleanse, weight-losing option available short of gastric-bypass. Each new weight-loss endeavor in Philadelphia would work as long as she devoted 110% of her energy, will-power, and time to it, and then inevitably living life in a way that required self-restraint 24/7 was unsustainable and made each plan eventually fail. As so often occurs, Mary went through a vicious cycle of losing a little weight, and then gaining it all back (plus some), losing a little weight, gaining it all back (plus a little more). This went of for years, until Mary sadly accepted that it was her fate to live like this; tired everyday, painful joints, no energy, always hot, and always self-conscious of her body. Then she tried Semaglutide.
All of a sudden, her food-noise stopped. She didn’t have to fight cravings every second of the day, and her body made it hard to keep eating past the point of satiation. Technically she was on a reduced-calorie “diet”, but it didn’t feel like a diet because to be successful she just had to listen to her body’s cues. (When using a GLP-1 like Semaglutide you feel nauseous if you eat the wrong foods like pasta and candy, or eat too much quantity). The pounds seemed to melt away. 
Over the course of 9-months, Mary lost 95-pounds. For the first time in her adult life, she can shop in any Philadelphia store she wants and wear any style of clothing that appeals to her. As if by magic, her joint-pain disappeared. She feels energized, and her confidence has sky-rocketed.
Medical weight-loss with Semaglutide at our Philadelphia office consists of a weekly administration of the medicine, specially dosed to your needs. Semaglutide reduces cravings, appetite, and food-noise. Under the proper guidance, Semaglutide makes it so easy to shed unhealthy weight and live life in a healthier way.
At About Face Aesthetics in Philadelphia, we do lab-work on every prospective Semaglutide candidate to make sure the treatment is completely safe for them, and offer various package options to set up each person on the best path to long term success. Options can include Fitness and Diet Coaching with local Philadelphia experts at Zarett Fitness and Key Nutrition LLC, or just the medication. Monthly check-ins help us to make sure patients are getting the most effective dosing, and having the most comfortable experience with it.

]]> Are you looking for an effective way to shed unwanted weight that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise? We can help!

About Face Aesthetics now offers weight loss shots in Philadelphia to qualifying clients.

Interested in finding out more? Keep reading to learn about semaglutide and how to book a consultation to see if this weight loss medication could help you.

What are weight loss shots in Philadelphia?

About Face now offers semaglutide to help clients who struggle to lose weight. This injectable medication was made to help increase insulin production and regulate the blood sugar of diabetic patients. It also helps slow digestion, meaning you’ll feel full for longer.

What’s a typical semaglutide treatment plan?

We’ll create a treatment series that fits your needs, but most series include a weekly injection. You’ll experience the drug’s appetite-suppressing qualities for as long as you’re getting the injections.

How fast does semaglutide work?

You’ll likely see results a month after starting your weight loss shots in Philadelphia (if not sooner). Your appetite will return once you finish the injection series, but your results can be permanent with regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Do you offer extra weight loss support?

Yes! We know that the key to lifelong weight loss is comprehensive support. That’s why we’re all about providing you with complementary solutions!

In addition to providing weight loss shots, we offer in-person or virtual consultations with our nutritionist and personal trainer. These professionals will provide practical support along with data gathered from the InBody body composition analyzer, giving you a better evaluation of your overall wellness and health.

Exceeding your expectations is always our goal. No matter your age, gender, skin tone, or body type, we want you to be happy with your results. Most importantly, we want you to be happy with yourself; we will never pressure you into a treatment that won’t provide results.

Give us a call or send us a message if you are ready to book an appointment or if you would like to know more about our aesthetics clinic or weight loss shots in Philadelphia. We would love to hear from you!

If you are not quite ready to come in for a consultation, you can use our Virtual Consult tool to get instant treatment recommendations based on your needs and goals.

About Face is about you!

]]> If you’ve decided to shed a few pounds but are struggling to jumpstart your weight loss journey, you aren’t alone! Many people struggle to keep weight off with diet and exercise alone.

About Face Aesthetics is excited to start offering a Wellness + Weight Loss program! Semaglutide is an injectable medication that acts similarly to Wegovy or Ozempic. In addition to getting prescription, weekly weight-loss medication that will curb your appetite and cravings, you will also get weekly check-ins with a nutritionist and an assessment with a fitness expert. Combined we are providing a trifecta of the most effective and safe ways to lose weight while simultaneously setting yourself on a path to maintain the results when you are ready to stop the medication.

Semaglutide is a helpful injectable that pairs incredibly well with our other body sculpting and contouring options, making our office your destination for reinventing yourself!

Keep reading to learn about semaglutide and how About Face can use this injectable with our other aesthetic offerings to give you the look you’ve been working toward.

About Weight Loss Injections in Philadelphia

Semaglutide is an injectable medication created to help people with diabetes increase their insulin production and regulate their blood sugar. In addition to helping people regulate their blood sugar, semaglutide also slows down digestion, helping you feel full from your meals for longer.

At About Face, we use semaglutide to:

  • Curb food cravings: When you feel full, you experience fewer “food thoughts,” making it easier to eat mindfully.
  • Regulate your appetite: Feeling full between meals helps reduce snacking throughout the day and the evening, keeping your calorie intake down.
  • Help you shed excess fat: Semaglutide can help you get rid of unwanted weight more quickly if you pair it with moderate exercise.

Does it work?

Yes! Medical studies have shown that semaglutide injections help promote weight loss, making weight loss injections in Philadelphia an effective treatment option.

Semaglutide Consultation

Like any aesthetic treatment at About Face, we’ll want to book a consultation with you before starting semaglutide injections.

During your initial appointment, we’ll discuss your medical history and symptoms to determine if you’re a candidate for this injectable. At About Face, we take your health and well-being seriously and will never start a treatment plan if we don’t think it can help you reach your goals.

The following are some of the topics we’ll discuss before initiating weight loss injections in Philadelphia:

Is semaglutide right for you?

Semaglutide may be an excellent solution for your needs if you:

  • Struggle to stick to a diet that promotes weight loss
  • Have a good exercise routine but struggle to lose unwanted weight

In addition to learning about your lifestyle, we’ll also review your medical history and medication list to make sure it’s safe for you to take semaglutide.

Semaglutide Side Effects

While weight loss injections in Philadelphia are safe and effective, some people may experience side effects when they first start taking semaglutide. These can include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach pain
  • Fatigue
  • Constipation
  • Heartburn

The good news is that most people notice that side effects start to go away as their bodies adjust to the injectable.

Treatment Plan

Your treatment plan is specifically made with your needs in mind! Generally clients receive one weekly injection during their treatment journey.

 

As long as you get these regular injections, you’ll benefit from this medication’s appetite-suppressing results.

Results and Expectations

Most patients begin to see their results after one month of weight loss injections in Philadelphia. After your series of injections, your normal appetite will return, but regular exercise and a healthy diet can help you maintain the results you’ve achieved.

Comprehensive Supportive Solutions

Although semaglutide is exceptional at helping people lose unwanted weight, it takes continued support and lifestyle changes to maintain results.

To help you make and keep your transformative changes, we provide all clients in our semaglutide program with virtual or in-person sessions with a nutritionist and personal trainer.

In addition to providing continued support through consultations, our fitness experts at Zarett Rehab use the InBody body-composition analyzer to evaluate what percentage of your body is fat, muscle, fluid, etc., and from there we can track the amount of fat lost.

Are you all about complementary treatments? Start here!

As you know, About Face Aesthetics is a premier med spa destination, providing the Philadelphia area with outstanding aesthetic treatments. We stand out from others in the field through our customized and caring approach to aesthetic services. We always want to make sure you look and feel your best—and that you have fun while doing it!

The following aesthetic treatments pair well with weight loss injections in Philadelphia because they:

  • Promote skin tightening during and after weight loss
  • Contour the body
  • Accentuate your natural beauty

Skin Tightening and Fat Eliminating Treatments

After losing weight, you may notice areas where the skin is looser than it was before. While experiencing loose skin post-weight loss is totally normal, it can feel frustrating to not see the sleek silhouette you’ve been working toward. The following treatments are ideal for addressing and treating stubborn loose skin on your face, neck, and body.

Thermage

Would you like to rejuvenate your skin and reduce wrinkles but aren’t into the idea of going under the knife? Thermage is a great solution!

What does it do?

Thermage is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment for loose, sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. This long-lasting treatment harnesses radiofrequency technology to stimulate the body to produce more collagen, resulting in tighter, younger-looking skin.

Thermage Details

Each Thermage treatment lasts 20 minutes to an hour. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on the treatment area and your specific needs.

SculpSure

SculpSure is our go-to solution for helping clients eliminate stubborn body fat in troublesome spots that are resistant to diet and exercise.

What does it do?

This device uses light-based technology to target and eliminate fat. The following are just a few of the reasons we love SculpSure:

  • SculpSure is a noninvasive, safe, FDA-cleared technology.
  • Clients can achieve up to 24% fat cell reduction.
  • The treatment is highly customizable and creates natural-looking results.
  • No downtime is necessary after treatment.

We find that SculpSure can effectively treat stubborn fat on the belly, back, and thighs, as well as love handles.

SculpSure Details

One SculpSure treatment is 25 minutes. Although every patient’s experience is different, we generally find that most people see the best results when they treat multiple areas. The number of treatments you need depends on the results you want, meaning you can “treat” until you feel “complete!”

Most patients start to see results in only 6 weeks, and notice full results after 12 weeks. The fat cells the treatment targets won’t return, but adopting a healthy diet and starting an exercise routine can help you maintain your results.

Kybella

If you’ve noticed that your diet and exercise routine don’t change the appearance of your double chin, your genetics may be to blame.

Kybella for anti-aging in Philadelphia. 

 

Thankfully, Kybella is one of the most effective fat elimination treatments because it targets submental fat.

What does it do?

Kybella uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down and kill fat cells. Deoxycholic acid is naturally occurring in the body and is used to break down fat through digestion. Although we primarily use Kybella to eliminate stubborn chin fat, we also use it to treat fat in the following areas:

  • Fat along the jaw and neck
  • Underarm and bra fat
  • Back bulges
  • Knee fat
  • Belly fat
  • Fat under the butt
  • Love handles
Kybella Details

One Kybella appointment is 30 minutes long. And although every patient is different, the average number of Kybella sessions our clients need is 2 to 3.

Kybella results are permanent, but fat cells can return if you gain weight, so maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is key!

Injection anxiety? We can help!

We know that many of our clients feel uneasy about injections. We understand and can help teach you the best way to administer these injections. Most people opt to treat themselves at home, however you are more than welcome to visit us weekly and have us administer your injections.

What’s different about us?

About Face Aesthetics began in 2011 with founder Naomi Fenlin. Her extensive professional and educational experience drove Naomi to create a unique med spa where client well-being and safe, effective aesthetic techniques meet.

Today, About Face continues to grow and carry new aesthetic treatments. We are all about learning new things and staying trained on the newest, most effective technologies. Our skilled team provides our patients with unmatched experience and knowledge, making About Face the ideal place to explore weight loss injections in Philadelphia.
