Looking our best doesn’t have to come with side effects or downtime. LightRx’s new technologies enhance our capacity to deliver real, noticeable results.

If you’re interested in body contouring treatments such as laser lipo, radiofrequency skin tightening, or cellulite reduction but are concerned about side effects or exaggerated results, this article will unpack everything you need to know.

Body Contouring

A popular question is: “Is body contouring safe?” The answer is yes, and here’s why:

At LightRx, our treatment equipment is FDA-approved and delivered by professionals who are certified to administer it.

Because our clinics and technicians are certified, you can trust that our high standards ensure your safety.

Body contouring is non-invasive, which limits your risk. Most patients experience no discomfort and can return to their daily activities without downtime.

Is body contouring safe and without side effects?

In contrast to surgical procedures, body contouring rarely results in significant side effects.

Common issues may be bruising, swelling, numbness, or redness, but rarely occur.

Does body contouring work?

No one wants to waste money on treatments that don’t offer results. Body contouring works for wrinkle reduction, cellulite removal, or melting stubborn fat.

Laser Lipo

Laser lipo is excellent for eliminating excess fat from your stomach, arms, thighs, or love handles. Treatments are quick, only 30 minutes, and there is no downtime, unlike traditional liposuction.

LightRx uses low-level laser beams delivered through treatment pads to break down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are then released into the body.

This process enables the tissues to absorb free fatty acids and glycerol, allowing the body to burn this stored fat during exercise and movement.

Real results

With laser lipo, clients can lose up to twenty-five pounds of total body weight. An added benefit is that fat loss is harder to reverse because fat cells are destroyed, preventing them from further fat storage.

Non-invasive means it is safer than surgical liposuction. While it may not offer as dramatic results, you don’t have to worry about severe side effects, complications, or downtime from surgery.

Laser lipo excels when a proper diet and exercise won’t budge stubborn fat in specific areas, delivering real results without surgery.

Side effects of laser lipo

It is normal to worry about the risks associated with non-surgical fat removal, but rest easy. Ninety percent of our clients don’t have any issues or feel any discomfort, and they return to daily activities immediately.

Possible common side effects of laser lipo include minimal discomfort, numbness in the treatment area, slight scarring, and discolored or loose skin. Still, these issues are temporary and often disappear shortly after treatment.

Radio frequency skin tightening

At LightRx, skin tightening is achieved using low-level lasers, radio frequencies, and magnetic pulses that cause a thermal reaction in the tissue.

This process initiates new collagen formation. As the body’s natural healing process begins, it contracts and tightens the skin, effectively reducing wrinkles and loose skin.

Risks

Like non-surgical fat removal risks, skin tightening at LightRx is clinically approved. Clients have achieved their desired results free of side effects.

While side effects are rare, common issues may include redness or swelling in the treatment areas. Symptoms typically resolve within 48 hours.

Cellulite Reduction

LightRx cellulite reduction technology delivers real results. Like skin tightening, it works by targeting loose skin, which is the cause of cellulite. It is safe and proven effective.

By encouraging new collagen growth, skin tightens, reducing the appearance of cellulite. This newly tightened skin prevents underlying fat from causing a rippling effect.

Depending on the area, sessions take 30-90 minutes and require four to ten treatments.

Side effects or pain?

You may experience red or sensitive skin in the treated area, but this subsides within 36 hours. We treat with your comfort in mind, providing cooling gels as a preventative measure.

LightRx safety standards

LightRx’s safety standards are impressive. We use only FDA-cleared equipment, and our technicians are certified.

Our supervised clinics provide peace of mind, ensuring we take every precaution to keep you safe, prevent unnecessary pain, and achieve the results you desire.
