Losing Weight on GLP-1s? Don’t Lose Your Muscle.
GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) have transformed the way we approach weight loss. The results can be remarkable — from reduced appetite and lower blood sugar to significant fat loss.
But there’s a side of the story that doesn’t always make it into the conversation: when you lose weight rapidly, you don’t just lose fat. You also lose muscle.
At Edson Aesthetics, we believe your transformation should leave you stronger — not just smaller. That’s why we’re proud to offer EMSCULPT NEO as the perfect complement to your GLP-1 weight loss journey.
The GLP-1 Reality: Fat Loss + Muscle Loss
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite. They are highly effective, and clinical studies show patients losing anywhere from 10–22% of their body weight.
But here’s what the scale doesn’t tell you: up to 25–40% of weight lost during rapid weight reduction can come from lean muscle mass — not just fat.
Why does this matter?
- Muscle fuels your metabolism. Less muscle means a slower metabolic rate, making it harder to maintain weight loss long term.
- Muscle supports your body. Strength, balance, posture, and mobility all depend on adequate muscle tissue.
- Muscle protects you as you age. Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) is linked to fatigue, falls, and chronic disease.
- Muscle shapes your body. Fat loss without muscle preservation can leave you feeling “soft” or shapeless, even at a lower weight.
The number on the scale might look great, but if you’re losing muscle along with fat, you may not feel or function as well as you deserve to.
Enter EMSCULPT NEO: Build Muscle. Burn Fat. Stay Strong.
EMSCULPT NEO is the world’s first and only non-invasive body-shaping treatment designed to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat.
Using a unique combination of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM+) energy and Radiofrequency (RF) heating, EMSCULPT NEO delivers two powerful benefits at once:
- RF energy heats fat cells to the point of permanent destruction, targeting fat tissue directly without surgery or downtime.
- HIFEM+ energy triggers intense supramaximal muscle contractions that no voluntary workout can replicate. In just one session, your muscles experience the equivalent of 20,000 contractions.
Clinical studies show an average of:
- 25% increase in muscle mass
- 30% reduction in fat
- Measurable improvements in core strength, posture, and overall body composition
By adding EMSCULPT NEO to your GLP-1 regimen, you’re not just losing weight — you’re reshaping your body with intention, protecting the muscle you need to stay energized, metabolically healthy, and strong for the long haul.
What to Expect at Edson Aesthetics
- No surgery. No needles. No downtime. Sessions last just 30 minutes, and you can return to your day immediately.
- Customized treatment plans. We tailor your sessions to your goals — whether that’s your abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs, or calves.
- Visible results. Most patients begin to see and feel a difference after 2–4 sessions, with optimal results appearing a few weeks after completing their series.
