Strawberry Laser Preparation:

 

Your Strawberry Laser Appointment does not require a lot of preparation however there are a few things that will make your appointment easier:

 

• Please wear athletic/yoga/loose type clothing.  The laser needs to make direct contact with your skin to be effective.  The charge packs are attached to various types of belts for placement upon the target area.
  • For females, a sports bra and shorts/yoga pants are recommended, with loose clothes that can be removed for treatment over top.
  • For males, shorts or boxer type briefs are recommended.
  • If you are treating your pelvic area or thighs we request undergarments that will allow us to make direct skin contact with the specific area that is being treated.  For example, if you are treating your inner thighs, shorts would cover the treatment area.  We also have single-use disposable undergarments available if needed.

 

• HYDRATE!  Please drink plenty of non-sugary, non-alcoholic fluids leading up to your appointment as this will help with the effectiveness of your treatment.  Please hydrate up to 30 minutes before your appointment.

 

• Do not eat for at least 2 hours before your appointment; you can however eat immediately after your appointment and we will have healthy snacks on hand if desired.

 

Strawberry Laser After Care:

 

Your Laser Lipo treatment will be effective regardless, however for maximum effectiveness the following items are highly suggested:

 

• HYDRATE!  This is so important we have to say it twice.  After your Laser Treatment we suggest consuming approximately 2 liters / half a gallon of water throughout the day.  We also suggest this on the off days as well; the more hydrated you are the more effective the treatment will be; 2 liters is approximately 4 "regular" sized bottles of water as they are 500mL.

 

• NUTRITION!  Avoid sugary/fatty foods and alcohol.  Your treatment will take approximately 2-3 weeks; if you can refrain from consuming alcohol during that time you will get a more effective treatment.  Your body prioritizes clearing alcohol out of the system over removing the fatty acid/sugars/glycerol released by the laser; so if you consume alcohol your body will spend its time removing that instead of removing the fatty acids and glycerol which will more than likely then be reabsorbed, reducing the effectiveness of your treatment.  Additionally, eating foods that are high in sugar and fat, or overly processed foods will have the same effect; reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.  Lastly, avoid red or fatty meats as this can also reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

 

• EXERCISE!  You will be placed on our vibration machine at the end of your laser treatment; there have been a variety of medical studies showing the health benefits of our sports medicine grade vibration machine; it will provide a days worth of cardio workout in just 10 minutes as well as stimulate your lymphatic system and increase blood flow and circulation to aid in the effectiveness of your laser treatment.  With that being said, additional cardio and gym time will increase the effectiveness of the treatment!  If you add, or already have, an exercise regime during your laser treatment it will allow your body to process even more of the fat and will reduce re-absorption; clients who do additional cardio have reported additional losses.   Extra cardio is NOT required to get a good result, as the advertised results can be achieved solely with the use of the vibration machine.

 

As with any fat loss method, a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition make all the difference in the long run.  Our Strawberry Laser Lipo will help you shed the fat immediately and if done in conjunction with a nutritional plan ( NOT a diet! ) and exercise regime will help you keep the fat off!  You do not need to go on a fad diet, or starve yourself, in order for our treatment to be effective, nor do you have to do that after the treatment to keep the fat off; but a few simple lifestyle and nutrition choices can make all the difference to keeping a healthier you!  Study after study has shown that abdominal fat is a precursor to many diseases and illnesses; here at Strawberry Laser Lipo of Colorado and Knight Beautique we want a healthier, happier you so please ask us how we can help and we would be happy to provide you with some nutritional and exercise knowledge and insight to help you on your path!!
