How does Laser Lipo work?

The cold laser penetrates through the skin and targets the fat cells. The laser creates pores on the fat cells and allows the contents to spill out naturally into the body. The contents (fat, water, glycerol & fatty acids) are then bypassed through the lymphatic system, veinal system, kidneys & liver. So...some of contents are excreted naturally by this process. The rest will be turned into fuel for the body and needs to be burnt off as energy. This is why it is so important to do cardiovascular exercise within 12 hours of each treatment.

Does the treatment hurt?

It is totally pain free. There is no down time at all. Darker skin types may feel a warm, relaxing sensation. 

How many treatments will I need and how often?

You will need 8 treatments to complete the course. 2 treatments a week for 4 weeks is recommended.

How long is each treatment?

This depends on which area is being treated. We will measure you before and after each treatment so allow on average an hour.

What will I have to do after each treatment?

While you are having the laser lipo treatment you will need to stick to a healthy lifestyle i.e. healthy eating and regular exercise. For maximum results keep away from carbs in the evening, beer, wine or any toxins that will slow down your lymphatic system. If you need to drink, keep it minimal and stick to clear spirits with diet mixers – during the consultation this will be fully explained and we will provide continued dietary advice during the course of the treatment.

Will I see a difference from the first treatment?

Yes. We will measure you before and after each treatment so you will clearly see your results.   Results tend to speed up towards the end of the course which is why we recommend 8 treatments.

Are there any side effects?

No, it is completely safe and there are no side effects.

What results can I expect?

Everyone is different and it can depend on which area is being treated. If you stick to the recommended eating plan and do the exercise after you treatment you will see good results. We find that a very realistic amount from the tummy area is 6 – 9 inches over 3 measurements. We can’t guarantee exact results for anyone, and it will depend on how much you put in. Many people have lost a lot more but it’s better to be realistic. 

What will actually happen in the treatment?

You will receive a full consultation. We will measure the area we are treating. You will lie on the couch and have small probe lasers put on your lymphnodes in either your groin area (just at the top of your thighs in your knicker line) or under armpits, at the back of the knees or above your collar bone, depending on which area we are treating. Paddles will then be placed and secured on the fatty area we are treating. During this time we will discuss what exercise you have done since your last treatment and the foods you have eaten. You will then be measured to note how much you have lost. 

Surely if I go on a diet I will lose weight anyway?

Laser Lipo allows you to target specific areas that you are not happy with (something that cannot be done by diet or exercise alone). You will be measured before and after each treatment so you can see exactly how the laser is working for you. We need your lymphatic system to be working at its peak while you are having treatments which is why a clean diet is necessary.

Which areas can be treated?

Any fatty areas can be treated. Tummy, back, face, thighs, calves, bottom area. The only places that cannot be treated are breasts (women only, men are fine), spine and near the eye area.

Can men have this treatment?

Yes
