A new non invasive treatment for body contouring has debuted in the UK.
The procedure is designed to reduce levels of unwanted fat using the Lapex Body Contouring System (BCS) which is quick, safe, pain-free and genuinely non-invasive. Laser Lipo treatments help create a new and improved look without any pain or discomfort.
Laser Lipo however has some advantages over other forms of liposuction such as ‘Smart Lipo’ in that there is no need for either local or general anaesthetics. Research has also shown that Laser Lipo treatment carried out both prior and post traditional liposuction will in fact improve the results by first softening the fat cells prior to liposuction and then helping to even out the treated area afterwards. Laser Lipo Ltd are working closely with one of Europe’s leading cosmetic surgeons, Mr Brent Tanner, to fully evaluate this potentially enormous advance in traditional liposuction. The Lapex BCS can be used to tighten skin, resulting in skin rejuvenation and it is also very effective at tackling cellulite.
A Laser Lipo procedure can be completed in just 40 minutes and positive results can be seen INSTANTLY after just one treatment. To secure the best results a course of 8 treatments is normally required at a cost of just £1,000.
The Louisiana State University has carried out extensive research and clinical studies into this ground breaking machine and have supplied the information to the American government with the aim of achieving FDA approval (certification is due imminently).
In addition, Laser Lipo Ltd has placed a Lapex BCS with a leading French specialist, Dr Phillipe Blanchemaison for his valuable opinion. After just three weeks of evaluation Dr Blanchemaison is now going to be purchasing an entire system for his Paris-based clinic in 2008.
The laser-based system has emerged out of sports injury treatment where for the past decade or so physiotherapists have been using Cold Red laser to assist the body’s healing process and reduce swelling and inflammation. The Class 3B Cold red lasers do penetrate the skin but only to a depth of a maximum of 13mm. This safeguards against any side effects or even potential damage to organs and blood vessels. A key benefit of Laser Lipo is that the process does not remove fat cells as such, and thus there is no risk of new fat being stored in other, perhaps more dangerous areas around the body.
With endorsement from leading medical and cosmetic practitioners, and the fact that the basis of the treatment is well proven in the sports injury arena, clients can be reassured that this revolutionary new procedure really is risk-free.
Heath House Clinic in Kent (www.hh-clinic.co.uk) owns the only Lapex BCS machine currently in the UK, but they also own the exclusive distribution rights to sell the machine into the UK and nine other countries. They are planning to offer machines to other healthcare accredited clinics and spas over the next few months. The cost, £25,000 to include the machine and relevant training, can easily be recovered through the first 30 bookings and HHC expect the treatment to be available in most regions of the UK by the end of the 2008. The first two sales have already taken place before Christmas.
So how does it work? It’s a simple 5-step process which can shave inches off the offending areas.
- Two large Diode laser paddles are placed on the fatty areas
- Two smaller Probe lasers are placed over lymphatic glands and held in place by your underwear
- The Laser Lipo BCS will then be switched on for 10 minutes, relocated and turned on for another 10 minutes and repeated again
- The treated area will be measured to assess inch loss achieved. Depending on the client results are expected to be between 0.5 and 3 inches
- This is rounded off by a 10-minute stint on a vibration plate machine to help break down the fat cells.
The breaking down of the fat cells starts when the laser penetrates the skin and makes contact with the fat cells. Pores form on the cells causing them to ‘sweat’. The water, Glycerol and free fatty acids emerge from the cells and then occupy the space beneath the fatty layer in the skin. The fat cells reduce in size and the lymphatic system then removes the fatty liquids through the venous system, where they are processed in the same way as fatty foods that are digested.
Not only is the procedure quick, safe and pain-free, it is also healthy. Post-treatment advice is to encourage their clients to follow a sensible health and exercise routine. The Laser Lipo procedure does not harm the body in any way and will still maintain its ability to store fat in the areas where the work has been carried out. This is an important health factor as it prevents the fat being stored in different parts such as around the heart or other vital organs. If clients eat sensibly and regularly, combined with exercise, the body shape will retain the effects of the Laser Lipo treatment.
