At Alpine Integrated Medicine (AIM), we believe that true health is more than just a number on a scale — it’s about strength, confidence, and balance. If you’re using GLP-1 medications (like semaglutide or liraglutide) for weight loss, you’re already taking powerful steps to improve your health. But did you know there’s an advanced technology that can help you preserve muscle mass and sculpt your body while losing fat? Meet the game-changing combination: GLP-1 therapy + Emsculpt NEO.
The GLP-1 Effect (and What You Might Not Know) GLP-1 receptor agonists are revolutionizing weight loss by curbing appetite and improving insulin sensitivity. However, rapid weight loss can sometimes mean losing more than just fat — muscle loss can be an unintended side effect. In fact, studies show that rapid weight loss without muscle stimulation can lead to significant muscle depletion. And let’s not forget, adults naturally lose 3% to 8% of muscle mass per decade due to aging.
Why Emsculpt NEO is Your Secret Weapon Emsculpt NEO uses cutting-edge technology: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy combined with radiofrequency (RF) heating. This unique duo causes supramaximal muscle contractions while also reducing fat. Clinical studies show:
- Up to 25% increase in muscle mass
- Up to 30% reduction in fat
That means stronger muscles, a more defined body, and enhanced metabolic health — all while you’re on your weight loss journey.
The Perfect Pairing: GLP-1s + Emsculpt NEO Combining these two therapies creates synergy:
- Maintain & Build Muscle: Counteract the muscle loss that can occur with GLP-1 medications.
- Boost Fat Reduction: Double down on your fat loss goals while improving tone.
- Enhance Metabolic Health: Muscle tissue is key for burning energy and regulating glucose.
Dr. Amanda Holden, Medical Director at Holden Timeless Beauty, sums it up beautifully:
“Bear in mind that in addition, we are combating muscle loss of 3% to 8% per decade due to sarcopenia on top of that.”
