How it Works
Paddles containing laser diodes emitting wavelengths of light that target fat cells (630-680nm) are placed on the patient's skin for ten minutes per treatment area. The light safely and painlessly penetrates several millimeters into the subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat) and stimulates disruption of the fat cell wall which temporarily allows the cell contents to spill out. The fat (in the form of triglycerides) is converted to free fatty acids (FFAs), glycerol and water and these products harmlessly undergo their normal metabolic processing.
Of particular note, FFA's can be utilized by the body as a powerful energy source so it's ideal to exercise right after a treatment. This provides the body an opportunity to burn the newly released fat for energy. Shortly after a treatment, the fat cells regain their normal shape but are significantly reduced in size resulting in substantial body contour improvements. During a standard treatment cycle, the body can easily process the amount of mobilized fat that is released.
Clinical Studies:
In April 2007, Meridian Medical Inc. completed the FDA requested clinical study on the safety and efficacy of the LipoLaser. The study explored the efficacy of the LipoLaser in spot fat reduction on the subjects' waistlines as evidenced by girth measurements and photographs. Investigators concluded that within the study population the LipoLaser provided a significant girth loss that was maintained over repeated treatments and was cumulative over the entire duration of the study.
"The improvement in appearance was evident both clinically and statistically," reported Dr. Frank Greenway, the primary investigator for the study and Medical Director and Professor at the Biomedical Research Centre at Louisiana State University. *Detailed clinical study available upon request.
