The Treatment
As the top of the range our Lipo-Light 16 comes equipped with 16 pads, enabling maximum results from each treatment. Depending on the area of the body receiving treatment, between 4 and 16 treatment pads are used at any one time over each treatment area.
The pads are free moving and held in place against the area to be treated by an adjustable strap.
During the treatment, the pads are held directly against the skin for maximum effect. Treatments last for a period of up to 20 minutes and the recommended number of treatments in any course of Lipo-Light is two per week, thus completing a full course over a 4 week period.*
After treatment, exercise is essential to create the demand for energy which can now be met by the released fatty acids and glycerol from the adipose cells, completing the inch loss process.
After the intensive 4 week course*, you can follow one of 2 treatment paths:

  1. Return for a weekly maintenance treatment (max 2 per month).
  2. Focus on another body area for a new intensive 4 week treatment after 2 weeks.

* This is standard treatment protocol, your specific BMI will determine the recommended number of treatments (more/less) for optimal results.

The Benefits

Lipo-Light is simple to use, hygienic, quick and effective. Because the pads remain in place for the duration of the treatment, the practitioner has the flexibility to focus on other treatments with the same, or other, clients.
Lipo-Light is the most cost-effective body sculpting product in its class. The safety of Light Therapy technology makes for ease of operation and the practitioner can be trained to use the device in a relatively short period of time.
Frequency Asked Questions
What is Lipo-Light?
Lipo-Light is a light emitting diode (LED) system specifically designed for Professionals to contour the body by losing inches in circumference off specific body areas (waist, hips, thighs, arms, neck). Lipo-Light offers 16 pads that are strapped directly to the fatty areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.

What is the action mechanism behind Lipo-Light?
The light (635nm) emitted from Lipo-Light causes the fat cell membranes to temporarily alter the permeability of the cell. This brief change allows the fat contents to seep out from the cell into the interstitial space from where it can be processed by the lymphatic system.

What happens to the fat?
After being released, triglycerides are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol and enter the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, several things may occur:

  1. Some of the free fatty acids are readily available to be used as fuel by the body during exercise.
  2. What is not consumed as energy will get to the liver where it will either be oxidized or re-processed for storage. It is unknown how much gets oxidized versus re-stored, but results suggest that fat does indeed get oxidized (no visible or measurable redistribution of fat in the treated areas)

What results can I expect?
Individuals have lost anywhere from two inches to six inches** over a course of treatments. To maximize results, three things are important:

  1. As a rule, if your sick you should not be treated. Wait until your condition has improved.  If you have a condition listed in the contraindications you should not be treated.
  2. Hydration is critical. Drink plenty of water (ideally at least half you body weight in ounces; i.e. 100lbs = 50oz) spread out throughout the day. Diuretics (coffee, alcohol, etc.) are discouraged.
  3. The lymphatic system should be mobilized. Post treatment exercise is essential. Your encouraged to be active and burn 350 calories every day during your choice of cardio exercise.

**Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

How deep does Lipo-Light affect fat cells?
Penetration depth is 10 to 12 mm. The Lipo-Light consists of sixteen pads that each contain 28 ultra-bright diodes. Each pad has an optical output of 450mw per pad.

How is Lipo-Light different than liposuction?
Liposuction is an invasive procedure involving the mechanical removal of fat cells. By contrast, Lipo-Light is completely non-invasive and only affects fat cells temporarily. Lipo-Light does not compete with liposuction; it is simply a body shaping option available to clients who do not wish to undergo a surgical procedure.

Does Lipo-Light help with loose skin?
Anecdotal evidence suggests that clients undergoing Lipo-Light have noticed an improvement in skin tone and texture.

Does Lipo-Light improve the appearance of cellulite?
Anecdotal evidence suggests that clients undergoing Lipo-Light have noticed an improvement in the appearance of cellulite.

Can Lipo-Light cause cancer?
No. Lipo-Light uses LED in the visible spectrum (635nm) to stimulate our cells to be more efficient and accelerate the rate of naturally occurring processes. There has never been any indication that it may cause cancer. However, clients with cancer should not be treated. For more information, please refer to our list of contraindications.

What is a lipo light?
Lipo–Light is a method of body contouring improvement without any scarring. The whole treatment is non-invasive, relaxing, pain free and soothing. How it Works? Lipo–Light can deliver effective results in just one treatment! It safely penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the fat cells.
How many lipo light treatments are needed?
Treatments must be spaced out at least 24 hours to allow the body to process the fat. HOW MANY TREATMENTS OF LIPO LIGHT WILL I NEED? Lipo Light treatments are structured into plans of four, nine, and sixteen sessions depending on the patient and how much they want to lose
Does Lipo Light tighten skin?
What makes Lipo–Light different? Other technologies for cellulite reduction and skin tightening do not affect fat cells. Lipo–Light breaks down the fat cells directly and is truly a form of non-invasive liposuction.
How long do lipo results last?
On average, laser lipo sessions take about one hour per area. They may last a little longer depending on the area receiving the procedure. You may see results within about a week after your session, but results will gradually appear over two to six months. You should only need one treatment to experience full results.
Is lipo light safe?
Yes. Independent clinical studies have shown Lipo Light treatments to be completely safe with no side effects. The Lipo Light simply triggers a natural reaction of fat cells to release their contents, while keeping the cell itself intact, just smaller, giving immediate results.
How often can you do I Lipo?
A: Each area requires 8 i-lipo treatments. Each i-lipo session lasts approximately 1 hour from start to finish. Typically 2-3 i-lipo treatments are done in 1 week resulting in roughly a 3-4 week commitment.
