Frequently Asked Questions
How does i-lipo work?
The i-lipo uses a low level of visible red laser light to stimulate the body's natural processes that empty the stored fat contents inside fat cells.
The laser light gently absorbs in the individual fat cells in the treatment areas, temporarily opening pores in the cell wall through which the cell contents can escape. This does not affect the neighbouring structures such as skin, blood vessels and peripheral nerves. The contents of the cell are collected by the lymphatic system and transported to areas of the body where they can be metabolised into energy during exercise. This metabolism of the contents permanently removes them from the body leaving smaller fat cells and giving you inch loss.
How many treatments will I need?
You will see results from the very first treatment. Whatever your goals, our therapists can prescribe a treatment plan to suit you.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
The i-lipo course can be performed on calfs, knees, thighs, buttocks, stomach, arms and chin. The i-lipod is a multi-pad system that makes treatment fast and efficient. Typical treatment times are 20-30 minutes.
What inch loss could I achieve from this treatment?
This will vary from person to person depending on your size, but the results from the treatment will be greatly improved by your commitment to the treatment. A healthy diet needs to be adhered to and an exercise program is important to follow to ebable the released fat to be used up as energy. This should be done the same day as you i-lipo treatment.
Does it hurt?
The i-lipo is a low level laser also sometimes known as a cold laser because most people feel very little when it is used on them. The i-lipo is a comfortable relaxing treatment where the typical sensation felt is just a slight warmth where the pads are in contact with your skin.
Is it suitable for men and women?
The i-lipo treatment works equally well for both
Can everyone have the treatment?
As with most treatments in your clinic, there are few medical conditions that would stop us from performing the treatment. Your i-lipo therapist will go through a full health and medical questionnaire with you before your first treatment to ensure you are suitable. This will also include a detailed description of the treatment and time for any questions you may have.
How long will the results last?
Booster treatments are not necessarily needed with the i-lipo, as long as your weight, diet and excercise is maintained. One treatment performed now and again is a good incentive to keep you in control.
