How long does it take?

 

• Each Session takes 1 Hour; the session includes 2-4 treatments with the laser and 10 minutes on the vibration plate at the end.  Treatments should be scheduled every other day or every third day for the best results.  We try to schedule on a Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu/Sat schedule.  Total treatment time takes 2-3 weeks.

 

How many treatments do I need?

 

• Clinical studies have shown that most people reach maximum efficacy on a target area after 8-9 sessions, with good results after 5 sessions.  Our full treatment package gives you a total of 9 sessions.  You are always welcome to add more if you feel like you need a little extra.

 

How long until I see results?

 

• You will see results immediately after your first treatment!  Most people lose 1.5-2 inches after only one treatment; but to keep it off and to increase the total loss requires a full treatment package.  The actual published results for the FDA testing showed an average of 3.7 inches lost.  We take before and after pictures and measurements to show you your inch loss along the way.

 

Why do you say inch loss instead of weight loss?

 

• We use the term inch loss instead of weight loss because the machine works by shrinking your fat cells, effectively making you thinner.  Measuring the inches that you lose from your target area allows for us to have a concrete measurement that can be compared before and after and isn't as affected by outside factors.  While weight loss happens because of the process, the goal is to make you look and feel better by getting the fat out of your system, not necessarily to meet a goal weight.  Weight is not consistent across different people and different fats, so it is much easier to measure the amount of inches you lose off your targeted area than to rely on the weight that you lose as a result of the process.

 

Is this only for "bigger" people?

 

• No!  Any size or shape person can get laser lipo.  We have people of all weights and sizes who are interested in the procedure.  The reason is because we can target the specific fat that you want gone.  If you feel you just have a trouble area we can help you with it!  Laser Lipo is frequently used by athletes, bodybuilders, and celebrities to help shape their bodies and eliminate stubborn areas of fat!  It can be used to tighten and tone in addition to inch and weight loss.

 

What do you mean by body shaping?

 

• We target the laser to specific areas which allows you to choose what fat you want eliminated and what fat you want to stay.  If you are a woman looking for more of an hourglass shape we can apply the laser to get you a better hourglass.  If you want your waist trimmed but your "booty" left alone, we can just target your waist and leave your booty completely unaffected.  If you're a man and you want more of a "V" shape to your chest we can target and trim to give you the shape you are looking for; that is one of the many reasons why this procedure is so amazing!  The laser will not eliminate fat that we do not target.

 

Does it hurt?

 

• No, it does not hurt.  We feel, and most clients tell us, that it feels like a heating pad.  There can be minor amounts of discomfort from the heating pad but no injury, bruising, or pain is caused by the device.  After the treatment you can continue on with your day with no downtime or recovery period.

 

Are there side effects?

 

• No, there are no known side effects.  The device is FDA approved and has been through multiple clinical trials with no side effects reported.  Additionally, in the thousands of treated clients that we know about there have been no reported side effects.

 

Does it work on everyone?

 

• It works on 99% of people.  In the clinical studies it worked on all of the participants. While there are some people out there who will not see an effect, the laser activates a natural body process to eliminate the fat, almost all people respond to treatment.

 

Are there any conditions that prevent getting the treatment?

 

• Yes, there are a number of conditions that can prevent you from getting the treatment, please let us know if you have any conditions or questions before starting the treatment.  Here is a list of most of the disqualifying conditions:
  • Pregnancy
  • Some cases of Diabetes
  • Epilepsy
  • Cancer
  • Urinary Infection
  • Kidney Problems or Disease
  • Some Auto Immune Disorders
  • Ulcers
  • The treatment is not recommended for anyone under 18

 

How often can I do it?

 

• There is no restriction on using the laser; however there is a point of diminishing returns.  You will see maximum loss after a full treatment in one area; you can then immediately target another area and continue to have effective treatment.  If you wish to re-target the same area, you should wait at least a month to re-target an area that you have already gotten a full treatment on in order to see maximum effectiveness during your re-treat.  You can continue to treat an area without waiting but you may not see as drastic of results.

 

Can I use this as inch loss maintenance?

 

• Yes; after you have treated an area you can continue to buy individual treatments to maintain or improve your inch/weight loss in your targeted area.  Many clients choose to have weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions in order to give them an extra boost in maintaining their loss.

 

Are the results permanent?

 

• That is a difficult to answer question; the short answer is YES!  The long answer is that it is only as permanent as any other weight loss method; it is possible to gain the lost weight/inches back.  While the inch loss is immediately permanent, you can and will gain the weight back with an unhealthy lifestyle.  If you eat fatty/sugary foods you will regain weight as normal; this procedure does not prevent weight gain through lifestyle choices.  The fat cells are not destroyed, and they can fill back up with fat.  However, that is actually a good thing; since the cells are not destroyed your body does not try to grow new fat cells in random places to replace them.  The best way to think about it is how long did it take you to put on the weight?  You will not regain the weight overnight, but you will gain the weight if you lead a lifestyle that would otherwise lead to weight gain.

 

How do I keep the weight off?  Do I need to diet?

 

• No, you do not need to "diet" in conjunction with the laser treatment; if by diet you mean any sort of fad or starvation "diet."  The Laser Lipo works best with good nutrition and exercise; both of which are the key to keeping the weight off and leading a healthier lifestyle overall.  Just by having a balanced nutritional plan and with a normal amount of exercise for your age you will maintain your inch and weight loss.  Lots of our clients are in excellent shape and just have stubborn areas of fat that they are having difficulty losing even with a good meal and exercise regime.

 

I wanted to get Coolsculpting but they said I was too thin, will this work for me?

 

• Yes!  There is no minimum size for this treatment to be effective!  Many of our clients are in excellent shape but have a small area that they want to target, maybe stubborn back fat along their bra line or a "beer belly" that no amount of exercise will get rid of since exercise cannot target specific fat ( for example, no amount of crunches will make you lose stomach fat ).  Fortunately, with our laser we CAN target specific fat and can take care of whatever target area you are having problems with!
