Laser Lipo for Love Handles: Target Stubborn Side Fat
LightRx offers a noninvasive body-contouring service for side fat reduction. Our laser lipo for love handles is an effective way to address stubborn fat that is difficult to target with diet and exercise alone.
Why love handles are difficult to lose
Love handles are pockets of fat that accumulate around your hips and lower back.
It is difficult to lose fat in this area without some form of side-fat reduction due to a combination of genetics, our biological makeup, and hormones.
Not all fat cells are the same. They have two types of receptors that regulate how your fat is burned. They are:
- Beta-receptors: These speed up lipolysis (fat reduction).
- Alpha-receptors: Slow down fat reduction.
Biologically, our hip area has more alpha receptors. This means this area is more resistant to fat loss than other parts of our body, so using laser lipo for love handles helps trim it.
Genetics
Our genetic makeup determines how our fat is distributed. For men, in particular, the midsection stores the most fat.
Cortisol
Cortisol is our body’s stress hormone, and our midsection is very sensitive to our cortisol levels. If you have a lot of stress in your life, it can trigger fat storage in the midsection.
This area also has many blood vessels, which facilitate the uptake of cortisol-driven glucose into fat stores.
Blood flow
Areas like the stomach, lower back, and hips have less blood flow than other parts of your body, so this slower circulation makes it harder for the body to transport fatty acids out of the cells to be burned as fuel.
When all is said and done, a non-invasive body-contouring treatment will help you trim this difficult area.
How laser lipo targets side fat
At LightRx, laser lipo for love handles uses low-level laser energy to accelerate fat breakdown in the treatment area.
Since this area is biologically more prone to fat storage due to higher alpha receptor density, laser energy can accelerate fat breakdown and fat loss.
The treatment process explained
Venus Bliss is LightRx’s popular laser lipo treatment. It is clinically validated for fat reduction without downtime or major surgery.
It uses 4 diode laser treatment pads to induce lipolysis. The laser applicators can be activated individually or arranged in a specific configuration to target the desired areas. This unique versatility fits the anatomy of any client.
Uniform energy is distributed across sapphire crystals that evenly heat the treatment areas. Unlike CoolSculpting, our system eliminates hot spots that can cause discomfort or pain during treatment.
The Venus Bliss system also has a tissue-contact sensor that ensures a safe experience by measuring temperature and regulating heat to maintain client comfort.
How it works: As the low-level laser beams travel through the treatment pads, they break down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol.
These byproducts are then released from our cells and transported to our muscles, where they are burned off during post-treatment movement and exercise.
Our system also has an (MP)2 applicator with VariPulse TM technology. This added treatment is the perfect solution for smoothing and reducing cellulite in the abdominal area as part of your weight loss treatment.
Results and expectations
With the Venus Bliss system and our (MP)2 technology, you can expect fat loss, a more contoured appearance, and reduced cellulite, resulting in a firmer, slimmer body.
Due to the depth of impact with our unique system, there is significant fat reduction with the VariPulseTM technology and the (MP)2 applicators. Increased blood flow enhances lymphatic drainage as fat is released into the bloodstream.
After your first treatment, you will see some results within a week, but the full results will not be apparent until you have completed all your treatments.
It is important to understand that immediate results are usually not the norm. You will see results over the course of your specific number of treatments, which occur over 10-12 weeks.
To get started, LightRx offers free consultations with one of our experienced technicians. They will discuss your goals and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This will determine the number of treatments and your timeline for results.
Maintaining a slimmer waistline
One of the biggest benefits of the Venus Bliss system is that, with traditional exercise alone, your fat cells just shrink, whereas with our system, they are destroyed, making it harder to regain the weight.
Also, exercise combined with laser lipo is more effective at removing fat from the body than exercise alone.
Maintenance of your results should focus on:
- A diet prioritizing protein and fiber because they help manage insulin spikes and inhibit fat storage.
- Proper hydration.
- Build muscle with weight training.
- Focus on movement.
- Manage stress and get adequate sleep.
