Is Laser Lipo Right for You? | LightRx MedSpa
Traditionally, the term “laser lipo” is used to describe an invasive procedure to remove fat from areas such as the stomach, thighs, neck, back and arms. But that’s not how we’re using it here at LightRx.
There’s another way to slim down without surgery or pain. It’s called noninvasive laser liposuction. Our Rx Lipo™ technology offers a way to achieve inch loss and body contouring by using laser lipolysis technology to break down fat cells without surgery, pain or downtime. Let’s explore this revolutionary treatment to see if it’s the right service for your confidence goals!
How Does Laser Lipo Work?
Unlike traditional liposuction, the process of noninvasive laser lipo is not to remove fat cells but to shrink them. When attempting to remove fat cells, it can cause unintended consequences such as fat reappearing in different areas of the body, which is certainly not the goal of any lipo treatment.
During our Rx Lipo™ treatment, low-level laser beams are released through the treatment pads, creating a chemical signal in the fat cells that breaks down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are released through the cell membranes. Fat content is then transported around the body to tissues where it will be “burned off” during a period of post-treatment exercise.
The Results
The advantage of using Rx Lipo™ laser lipo is the instant reduction of fat within the first week. With no downtime involved, this gives you the opportunity to maximize your results by exercising. Exercise creates a demand in our bodies for extra energy. Normally, the body responds to this demand by releasing stored fat content to be used as fuel. The release can be from any stored fat content around the body. Through the use of low-level laser beams, Rx Lipo™ creates a process to mimic the body’s natural processes and allows you to select a target area for fat release. This helps create that desired figure your dreams easier to obtain after your first laser lipo session!
Are people satisfied with their laser liposuction results? The answer is a resounding “yes!” For example, a trial in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy found that 61% of people were very satisfied with the results of lipolysis. In comparison, 55.5% of people who underwent traditional liposuction were either neutral or dissatisfied with their results. Laser lipo is a much less invasive procedure to traditional liposuction for targeting areas of fat. What makes laser lipo even better is that it typically lasts about 30 minutes, so you have more free time to enjoy your day.
The Ideal Candidate for Laser Lipo
Many have trouble with maintaining a healthy weight which is imperative to having good health. However, it doesn’t always equate to the look you may want. Changing eating habits and staying active may help you achieve your desired look; however, some things refuse to change – like stubborn pockets of fat. The ideal candidate for laser lipo is someone who’s ready or already committed to a healthy lifestyle, diet, and exercise for weight maintenance, and who doesn’t have a lot of weight to lose but is concerned about specific problem areas they might have. For those who don’t know if they should or are able to get laser liposuction, we recommend should scheduling a free consultation first to find the best treatment plan. Laser lipo might be right for you if you are:
- Close to your overall ideal weight
- More concerned with “problem areas” than total-body weight loss
- In good health with good skin elasticity
Like any procedure that affects your body, you should always consult with your doctor first to make sure laser lipo is right for you.
