Instant Inch Loss After Just 1 Treatment!
Frequently Asked Questions

How does a non-invasive Laser Lipo technology work?

Non-invasive LaserLipo technology works with a patented cold laser conductor
that is passed over the skin. Originally designed to speed up healing, doctors
noticed that the cold loser technology would also liquify fat cells painlessly. In
contrast to Liposuction, the non-invasive LaserLipo does not remove the fat cell,
it drains it. The fat can be drained by a healthy person's lymphatic system
reducing by a few inches each week. The Laser Lipo works by focusing the cold
red laser which permeates to the fat cells and triggers the cell membrane to
break and release the fat from the cells. It is safe, painless and completely
noninvasive.

Where does the fat go?

Laser Lipo treatments result in the liquifaction of fats, the liquified fat is then
drained through lymph drainage. The effectiveness of fat drainage during and
after treatment is dependent on proper functioning of the lymphatic system,
which is responsible for removing wastes from the body.

What happens after each treatment?

One can resume normal activities immediately as the Laser Lipo is completely
noninvasive with no down-time whatsoever. After the treatment it is encouraged
that you do some sort of cardio type activity to move things along, i.e.: use a
whole body vibration machine, jumping on a mini trampoline, Stairmaster,
treadmill or a brisk walk.

What results can one expect from the Laser Lipo treatment?

Male and female clients hove found that those hard to reduce trouble spots,
such as love handles, tummy bulge, and saddlebags can be treated quite
significantly within just a few treatments.

How many treatments are needed ?

The standard treatment protocol is 2 weekly, 30 to 40 minutes treatments for 4 to 10
weeks or more. Maintenance treatments con be performed monthly after the full
treatments have been completed or as determined by the client's needs and
clinical technician expertise.

Who is the ideal candidate for LipoLaser Treatment?

There is not really an "ideal" candidate. The Laser Lipo has been shown to be
effective on many different body types. The most immediately noticeable results
are often shown on individuals who exercise (or have exercised) regularly, not
obese or just have localized fat deposits that they cannot get rid of with diet or
exercise.

How is the Laser Lipo different from other contour treatments?

There are other devices on the market that use ultrasound or radio frequency
treatments, or the invasive type liposuction treatments. The Laser is completely
non-invasive and the cold red laser cannot be felt or heard making the treatment
extremely relaxing, quick and effective. The Laser lipo also uses two probes that
assist with lymphatic drainage to assist the body in flushing the fat and waste.
Low level laser is often used for cell regeneration and pain relief so there are
other benefits to this type of treatment that other devices do not deliver.

Is treatment with the LipoLaser safe?

The LipoLaser is very safe. In fact, the initial purpose of low level laser
technology ( Meridian's Lapex-2000) was for pain relief and cell regeneration
for healing. A clinical trial demonstrated that modifying the frequencies and output was effective for fat reduction and after continued studies it was
discovered that low level laser therapy was a sale and effective indication for contouring and spot fat reduction.

Who should get Laser Lipo for body contouring and the spot for reduction?

Anyone who wants to improve any problems areas: thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen or upper arms is an ideal candidate. It is most efficient to combine the Laser Lipo with a healthy diet and exercise program.

Are there any contraints, dications or individuals who should not use
the Laser Lipo?

The Laser should be avoided for those individuals with impaired kidney or liver
function, autoimmune disorders, active cancer, or those who are pregnant or
nursing.
