i-Lipo Laser Body Contouring

The award winning i-Lipo laser from Chromogenex offers your patients a safe and effective means to achieve immediate and measurable inch loss.  i-Lipo uses low level laser technology (LLLT) to stimulate the body’s natural process for releasing its stored energy from adipose tissue, shrinking those fat cells and delivering the body shaping results.

How i-Lipo Body Sculpting Works

The human body stores excess calories from your diet in adipose tissue. When needed, those fat cells will break down their stored triglycerides into free fatty acids, glycerol and water, providing the body with energy during times of scarcity. That same metabolic process that is induced hormonally by the brain can also be triggered by low level laser energy delivered by i-Lipo.

i-Lipo is a revolutionary, non-invasive body shaping and cellulite reduction technology offering convenient, safe and pain free body contouring in as little as 20 minutes, without surgery and without downtime. This non-destructive approach to fat reduction can be used year-round on all skin types.

I-Lipo uses a low-energy laser light to shrink fat cells. When placed on the treatment area, the laser targets the fat under your skin and forces the cell to break down the fat into free fatty acids. The fat cell then forces the fatty acids out, shrinking in size, and your body gets rid of the fat through normal processing. The laser is calibrated to only target the fat cells under your skin, so it doesn’t affect your skin, blood vessels, nerves, or muscles.

You may lose inches quickly after treatment. However, i-Lipo isn’t a weight loss system, and the ideal candidate should be close to her goal body weight with a body mass index of 30 or less.

What can I expect during treatment with i-Lipo?

I-Lipo is a non-invasive, painless procedure. During treatment, Dr. Jain places the laser wand over the fatty area, and the light penetrates the skin to target the fat. You may feel a warm sensation as the laser moves over your skin.

The entire treatment takes about 20 minutes.

After treatment, you may be able to resume your regular activities. To improve the odds that the effects will last, Dr. Jain recommends you engage in light exercise following the procedure.

How many treatments do I need?

You may see a significant improvement in the shape of your body after only one treatment. However, for best results, Dr. Jain recommends eight treatments twice a week for four weeks.

What are the Results for i-Lipo Body Contouring?

Clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy of the LLLT and the i-Lipo diode laser to deliver body shaping results.  Two treatments per week for four weeks are recommended.  All parts of the body can be treated where fat is stored, including the waistline, thighs, arms, leg and even under the chin.  Patients typically report a 10% inch loss reduction following a treatment regimen.

i-Lipo is the first direct skin contact laser device designed for fat reduction and body contouring to receive FDA approval for circumferential reduction.  Based on results from a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of 34 volunteers, the FDA found that over 70% of participants experienced significant inch loss.
