Our Frequently Asked Questions may help you out!
WHAT HAPPENS AS THE LASER HITS THE FAT CELL?
Laser permeates the external membrane of the fat cell, inducing lipolysis.
WHERE DOES THE GLYCEROL GO?
The glycerol diffuses throughout the body in the bloodstream and is passed in the urine. Additionally glycerol is converted by the liver as energy which is burned off during the whole body vibration plate session.
WHERE DO THE FREE FATTY ACIDS GO?
Once the free fatty acids are released into the interstitial space, they are processed by the lymphatic system which gets forced to the kidneys and liver to be processed.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO THE FAT?
The fat cells are undamaged, but due to the reaction of the laser light on the cell it will empty the contents. The contents consist of water, glycerol and free fatty acids. Following a treatment the Glycerol or sugar is rapidly absorbed by the body. The water carries the free fatty acids through the lymphatic system, through the kidneys and are then passed out of the body in your urine.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
We recommend two treatments per week for four weeks per area.
CAN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE TREATMENT AT ONE TIME?
Yes, if you are prepared to do more cardiovascular exercise or use the vibe plate. One treatment area is considered one session.
DOES THE TREATMENT HURT?
No. There is no pain at all.
HOW MUCH INCH LOSS WILL I ACHIEVE FROM THIS TREATMENT?
A typical client will lose between 1-2 inches during a single session around the stomach; this is also heavily dependent on the depth of the fat layer. Results in other target areas will be more varied. Commitment to the treatment and a decent eating plan will ensure maximum results. The exercise program after each treatment is important to allow the fat released during the treatment, to be used up as energy. A typical client can expect to reduce an area by 1-2 dress sizes during a course of treatments.
WILL I LOSE WEIGHT?
Body Sculpting by Donna is not for weight loss, but for body contouring and inch loss. It is not a weight treatment.
WILL THE INCHES STAY OFF AFTER A TREATMENT?
If you maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine then yes.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
As long as you maintain your weight, diet and exercise, the inch loss will be long-lasting. If exercise is not undertaken soon after the Lipo Laser treatment, the results will be temporary. Booster sessions following a course of treatments are highly recommended to keep your body in its ideal shape.
WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN BE TREATED?
The Lipo treatment can be performed on the following areas: Stomach, Face, Hips, Thighs, Calves, Back Fat, Baby Bulge, Male Breasts, Chin, and fat around the face – using specially designed facial pads.
ARE THE LASER TREATMENTS SAFE?
Not only is the procedure safe but quick, pain-free and healthy. There is no recovery time needed, and you can return to normal activities directly after the treatment.
ARE THERE ANY HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS OR CONTRAINDICATIONS?
There are no ill side effects. This procedure has been done on multiple organ transplant recipients- it's that safe. In fact in one clinical trial a kidney transplant recipient bloodwork revealed a 30% increase in her transplanted kidney function as well as improved creatinine and triglyceride levels. This procedure should not be performed on any patient who is pregnant or lactating, epilepsy, active cancer cells, or severe cases of thyroid issues.
WHAT EXERCISE SHOULD THEY DO FOLLOWING AN INCH-LOSS TREATMENT?
Any cardio-vascular exercise adjusted for each client’s fitness level, such as; running machine, swimming, power walking, etc. It is important to check the client’s age and fitness level before suggesting any exercise. Whichever exercise is chosen must get the heart rate up to the point of perspiring.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE HAVE BETTER RESULTS THAN OTHER?
All Lipo Laser inch-loss treatments are not a miracle cure. However, we achieve fantastic results more so with the clients that follow the advice of a sensible diet. In addition, the more exercise you can do the better the results.
HOW CAN I MONITOR MY RESULTS?
At predetermined sessions you will be measured to determine your progress.
MUST I WEAR LASER GLASSES?
Protective glasses/goggles should be worn at ALL times.
HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE?
Treatments take between 10 and 20 minutes dependent upon what area of the body is being treated.
