FAQ's
BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?
When energy is required by the body, the brain sends signals to adipose cells to break down stored fat, a process called lypolysis. During this process, free fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. Heat and light emitted from the pads of the Lipo-Light stimulates the release of energy. The combined therapy of heat, light, and exercise completes the process of burning; this released energy results in immediate and visible slimming and toning - but only in the areas treated.
HOW LONG IS EACH LIPO-LIGHT TREATMENT?
A consultation with Dr. Emen is required, which takes about 40 minutes. Thereafter, Lipo-Light treatment takes just 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes of vibration plate exercise.
WHEN WILL I SEE MY LIPO-LIGHT RESULTS?
Often, Lipo-Light results can be seen immediately and improve with every treatment. Over the course of eight Lipo-Light sessions, you can achieve dramatic reshaping of the body and possible reduction in cellulite. Lipo-Light treatments are structured into 6, 8, or 12 sessions. Based on clinical data, after about 8 sessions, you can lose 1 to 2 dress sizes, about 3500 calories of fat. Various different factors influence results such as: how many inches you want to lose, area of concern, body fat percentage, eating habits, and exercise. In general, a body fat percentage of 25% or below will respond in 4-6 visits. A higher body fat percentage will require more visits. Two to three treatments a week over four weeks is strongly suggested to see adequate results.
HOW MUCH CAN I LOSE?
Lipo-Light helps with inch loss and spot reduction. A weight-loss program is recommended if there is 25% or more of body fat.
HOW LONG WILL MY LIPO-LIGHT RESULTS LAST?
Light Light results are long-term, provided your calorie intake and healthy eating plan is stable, and you engage in regular exercise. As with liposuction, gaining weight by poor eating and exercise habits will replace the fat that was removed.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO DO TREATMENTS?
Two treatments per week or every other day for 4 weeks. This can be sped up depending on individual needs and physical capabilities. Treatments must be spaced out every 24 hours to allow the body to process the fat.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS OF LIPO-LIGHT WILL I NEED?
Two treatments a week over four weeks to complete a full course is recommended. After the intense 4-week treatments, you could follow one of two treatment paths:
1) Return for two maintenance Lipo-Light Treatments a month, or
2) Repeat the intensive 4-week program on another area of the body
DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING SPECIAL?
Lipo-Light is not intended to be used alone - it is a lifestyle decision. Being mindful of eating habits is important, as overeating will fill up fat cells again, just like any other diet or slimming procedure when increasing calories.
- Do not drink tea, coffee, or alcohol before or after treatment
- Do not eat for at least 2 hours before or after treatment
- Drink plenty of water afterwards - at least 8 glasses of water daily
- In order for the released fat to be burned off and not re-stored in the body, it is essential to exercise for 30 minutes following each session

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LIPO-LIGHT?
Lipo-Light delivers a consistent 635nM/10-12mW of energy. Although it is a non-coherent beam, it is in direct contact with the skin, therefore eliminating energy loss and delivering maximum effect for fat loss. Another benefit is that it can boost collagen production due to heat, which assists in sculpting the body and firming skin in the treated area.
HOW IS LIPO-LIGHT DIFFERENT FROM VELASMOOTH AND OTHER PRODUCTS?
Other technologies are for cellulite reduction and skin tightening and do not affect fat cells. Lipo-Light breaks down fat cells directly and is truly a non-surgical form of liposuction.
WHY DO I HAVE TO WORKOUT AFTER LIPO LIGHT TREATMENTS?
Once the fat cells are broken down after Lipo-Light treatments, the contents of the fat cells need a way to exit the body. If they do not exit the body within a few hours, they get reabsorbed by other fat cells. A brief 30 minute workout immediately after a Lipo-Light treatment ensures that the fat is excreted via the lymphatic system.
IS LIPO-LIGHT TREATMENT COMFORTABLE?
Most people feel very little during their Lipo-Light treatment and find it comfortable and relaxing. The typical sensation felt is slight warmth where the treatment pads are in contact with your skin.
IS LIPO-LIGHT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
No, it does not work for everyone. Not everyone is a candidate. Based on the consultation, certain factors will limit results. In some cases, extra steps might be taken to ensure good results and in other cases, the individual will be informed up-front if they are not a candidate.
Lipo-Light may not be as effective for men if they have very hard belly fat cells that have been stored for many years. Also, individuals with a BMI of less than 18.5 would be classified as underweight - this level of body fat would be too low for Lipo-Light treatment.
Lipo-Light, however, can be used for both men and women, young or old over the age of 18. It can treat most areas of the body except female breast tissue. As with any treatment, people with certain medical conditions should not use Lipo-Light. During consultation, a full medical questionnaire will be completed and reviewed prior to treatment to confirm suitability.
Lipo-Light is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a history of malignancy, or have diabetes. It is also not recommended for anyone with lymphoma or leukemia, epilepsy, photo-sensitivity disorder, pacemaker, thyroid gland dysfunction, uncontrolled hypertension, active radiation treatments, kidney and liver disease, cardiac arrhythmia or heart disease, metal pins or plates, medical edema, and lymphatic problems. Immune-suppressed individuals may not receive Lipo-Light treatment.
IS LIPO-LIGHT SAFE?
Yes. Independent clinical studies have shown Lipo-Light to be completely safe with no side effects. Lipo-Light simply triggers a natural reaction of fat cell release. The process does not cause any damage and cells remain intact, just smaller, giving immediate results.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME FROM LIPO-LIGHT?
There is no recovery period and no down time after Lipo-Light sessions.
WHAT PARTS OF THE BODY NEED LIPO-LIGHT?
Basically, Lipo-Light can treat any body part: abdomen, saddle bags, thighs, upper back area, and arms; all can be safely treated with Lipo-Light. Those parts are where fat is harder to remove.
CAN I TREAT MORE THAN ONE AREA AT A TIME WITH LIPO-LIGHT?
It is not recommended to treat more than one area at a time with Lipo-Light due to the difficulty in excreting fat from multiple areas and overall treatment would be less effective. It is recommended to complete one area before starting on another area for optimal results. Please discuss with Dr. Emen if you would like to undergo additional sessions for other areas.
