Sculpt Your Body With Laser Fat Reduction

i-Lipo is the latest in laser lipolysis, offering you a way to achieve inch loss and body contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time. i-Lipo is a possible alternative to liposuction that is affordable and can produce similar results.

How i-Lipo Works

The i-Lipo emits low levels of laser energy, which creates a chemical signal in the fat cells, breaking down the stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol and releasing them through channels in the cell membranes. The fatty acids and glycerol are then transported around the body to the tissues that will use them during metabolism to create energy.

This process of fatty acid release is a natural response of the body when the body needs to use stored energy reserves, thus i-Lipo is not creating any unnatural reaction in the body nor does it affect or damage any surrounding structures such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. A period of exercise post treatment will ensure the complete metabolism and thus elimination from the body of the freed fatty acids.

When you consume more calories than you use, the extra calories are stored as fat inside a fat cell. The i-Lipo laser emits low levels of safe laser energy, which passes safely through your skin and onto the fat cells. This affects the fat cell membrane (outside wall of the fat cell) and causes it to release the fat stored within it. This does not affect the neighboring structures such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves.

Fat spills out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the interstitial space where they are slowly transported through the body's natural lymphatic system, it is strongly advisable to undertake some form of physical exercise to help dispose of the fat more efficiently and ensure it is not reabsorbed.

i-Lipo uses low levels of visible red laser light to create a safe and painless bio-stimulation effect in the targeted fat tissue. This stimulation is of the normal chemical pathways which the body uses to free up energy resources when required, so i-Lipo does not produce any abnormal effects in the body or damage body tissue such as cells, blood vessels or neighboring nerves or vital organs. The treatment can be performed on all skin types and body areas where unwanted fat is stored and you can return to normal activity immediately after treatment.

Independent clinical studies have shown i-Lipo to be, in some cases, comparable to results achieved by liposuction. Ultrasound imagery shows up to 30% reduction in the fat layer depth after just one treatment. Additional treatments improve results further. Results can be seen immediately after each treatment as the fat cell contents are released. Light exercise post treatment can accelerate the removal of the released fat.

Results can be seen immediately after treatment. Typically a 2-4 cm loss in abdomen circumference can be achieved with every treatment. A course of eight treatments is recommended over four weeks with two treatments per week.

Compared with surgical liposuction and other Ultrasound or laser techniques, i-Lipo is much more affordable, infinitely safer, with similar results.
