What is Fat-Melting Technology using Red Light Therapy?

What can I expect during a Red-Light Therapy Treatments?

During the treatment, you will be placed lying down flat on a treatment table. Special pads will be positioned in strategic places on your body in the areas that you would like to treat, while you simply enjoy a relaxing 20-minutes session.

How does Red-Light Therapy work?

The unique light emitted from Red-Light Therapy device causes the fat cell membranes to temporarily alter the permeability of the cell wall. This brief change allows the fat contents to leak into the lymphatic system to where it can then be processed and eliminated by the body over the next 24-48 hours after treatment.

What happens to the fat?

After being released from the fat cells, the fat is broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol and enters the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, the fatty acids can be either used as fuel for energy or quickly eliminated by the body. Using the whole vibration machines helps to hasten this process.

What happens to the fat cells?

The fat cells shrink to a fraction of their original size, thus reducing size of the body.

Why do you recommend a Liver Cleanse?

Your liver has five major functions: Filtration (filter to remove toxins and nutrient byproducts from the body), Digestion, Metabolism, Protein Synthesis and Storage of Vitamins and Minerals. With the excess release of fats, it can sometimes overwhelm the liver and for this reason a high-quality liver cleanse is recommended to help process and eliminate the fats from your body.

What area of the body can be treated?

The Red-Light Therapy can be effectively used on every part of the body where localized fat deposits exist that are resistant to diet and exercise. This includes the face/chin, waist, upper back/bra areas for women and flanks for men/ the love-handles, hips, upper thighs/legs, and upper arms.

How soon will I see results?

Results are usually seen after just one treatment. But it usually takes 12 + sessions for full results based on your body type.

How long lasting are the results?

The results can be very long-lasting. Red-Light Therapy releases some of the fat contents from the fat cells and causes the cells to shrink, thereby reducing your size. Red-Light Therapy does not destroy fat cells like liposuction, cool sculpting, or ultrasonic cavitation. If your caloric intake is significantly higher than you require, your body will eventually store fat again. For this reason, we recommend a maintenance program of twice per month, after your desired results are attained.

What risks are involved?

There are no risks or side effects involved in using Red-Light Therapy. It is considered a very safe alternative to invasive procedures such as traditional liposuction. The Red-Light Therapy is 100% non-invasive and does not cause any bruising
or scarring.

Are there any contraindications for its use?

Although Red-Light Therapy is very safe, there are some contraindications which include:

Pregnancy, Active Cancer, Pacemaker, HIV/AIDs, Active Gallbladder Disease and Hepatitis C.

Do I have to follow a specific diet?

No changes are required; however, to obtain the best results, it is recommended that you reduce your caloric intake of carbohydrates and fats and increase your water consumption.

Do I have to exercise?

Each of your sessions should be followed by 30 minutes of exercise or 10-15 mins on the whole-body vibration machine to stimulate circulation, improve your lymphatic drainage and to help burn the fat that has been released.

Does Red-Light Therapy help with cellulite and loose skin?

Clients undergoing Red-Light Therapy have noticed an improvement with cellulite as well as skin tone and texture.

What research has been done?

Red-Light Therapy is based on over forty years of research starting with NASA experimentation and culminating with the aesthetic and orthopedic industries today. Following the recent discovery that 635nm light influences fat cells, this modern technology has created an explosion in the body sculpting industry.
