Frequently Asked Questions
We try to anticipate questions you might have about iLipo treatment and provide the answers tom some frequently asked questions here.
If you need additional information, contact us.
1. What is the purpose of i-Lipo?i-Lipo laser treatments shrink fat by triggering a chemical signal in fat cells to break down stored triglycerides and release them through the cell membrane. When the fat is released, it moves to tissues that will use it during metabolism to create energy.
2. What are the side effects?There are really no known side effects. For very dark skin types occasional there can be transient pigmentation spots, but this is rare.
3. What does the treatment feel like?The i-Lipo laser treatment is completely painless. The only thing you will feel is warmth on the area and then looser clothing!
4. Is i-Lipo safe?i-Lipo laser is completely safe. It uses wavelengths in the safe end of the light spectrum and initiates a natural release of fat from the cells.
5. Can I treat more than one area at a time?It is recommended to treat only one area at a time as the body can only deal with a limited amount of fat removal at one time. However, after you shrink one body part you can come back to work on another! Or treat the same area a second time at a discounted price!
6. How effective is i-Lipo?On average, i-Lipo may achieve nearly 1 inch reductions off the waist with each treatment. In many cases, it is just as effective as the more invasive procedures you may be more familiar with.
7. How soon will I see results?Typically results may be seen and measured immediately after treatment.
8. How long do results last?
As long as you maintain a healthy calorie intake, results can last indefinitely. Of course, a healthy diet and exercise program can help maintain results for the long term.
9. How many treatments are required?
A standard course is 2 treatments per week for 4 weeks.
10. Can I return to normal activity right away?Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend that you exercise for 30 to 45 minutes after treatment. iLipo laser treatments are most effective if the client completes this exercise within 24 hours of treatment.
11. Do I need to do anything special before my appointment?Staying hydrated for a few days before treatment will allow the iLipo to work even better. We also strongly urge you to eat light meals 2 hours before/after treatment. The less fat you consume during treatment, the more stored fat you can burn off!
12. What is the difference between the i-Lipo and the Ultra?The iLipo treatments work to shrink fat cells while the Ultra stimulates blood circulation and promotes skin cell renewal to improve the appearance of cellulite.
