i-lipo:
The intelligent alternative to Liposuction!
What
is i-lipo?
i-lipo is the latest in laser lipolysis, offering you a way to achieve
inch loss and body contouring with no pain, no needles and no down time.
The i-lipo emits low levels of laser energy, the fat cell membranes
are disrupted releasing intra-cellular fat. This causes the cell to lose
its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane. This
does not affect the neighbouring structures such as skin, blood vessels,
and peripheral nerves.
Triglycerides
spill out from the broken cell membranes and are released into the
interstitial space, where they are slowly
transported through
the body’s natural metabolic functions, with no adverse physiological
effects and are used by the body as an energy source. This mechanism
of action is not “liquefaction of fat” rather, it is the
instant breakdown of the fat cells (also referred to as lypolysis).
Frequently asked Questions
How
many treatments will I need?
To see maximum results a course of 8 treatments is recommended, per
body area. These treatments should be taken twice per week at regular
intervals.
Which areas of the body can be treated?
The
i-Lipo course can be performed on calfs, knees, thigh, buttocks, stomach,
arms and chin. The I-Lipo system is currently the only system
that has 4 treatment pads and is able to treat 2 small areas at once
or give you a quicker treatment time. You will be in the clinic for approximately
30-45 minutes.
What inch loss could I achieve from this treatment?
This
will vary from person to person depending on your size, but the results
from the treatment will be greatly improved by your commitment
to the treatment. A healthy diet needs to be adhered to and an exercise
program is important to follow to enable the released fat to be used
up as energy. This should be done within 24hrs of your i-Lipo treatment.
Does it hurt?
The
i-Lipo treatment is an extremely comfortable treatment the only sensation
felt from the treatment pads is slight warmth.
Is it suitable for men and women?
The
i-Lipo treatment works equally well for both.
Can everyone have the treatment?
As
with most treatments in your clinic, there are a few medical conditions
that would stop us from performing the treatment. Your i-Lipo therapist
will go through a full health and medical questionnaire with you before
your first treatment to ensure you are suitable. This will also include
a detailed description of the treatment and time for any questions you
may have.
How long will the results last?
Booster treatments are not necessarily needed with the i-Lipo, as long
as your weight, diet and exercise is maintained. One treatment performed
now and again is a good incentive to keep you in control.
