Frequent Asked Questions

What is Lipo Laser treatment?

The Lipo laser procedure uses 635nm-650nm (wavelengths) laser energy that delivers low level laser wavelengths heats the targeted area and disrupt the fat cells within the body. The laser energy is absorbed by the fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents. The liquefied fat is then metabolized and eliminated by the body's natural processes over time.

During the procedure, a trained technician applies low-level laser energy to specific areas of the body where fat reduction is desired. The procedure is painless, non-invasive and doesn't require incisions.

The results of Lipo laser treatment are typically not immediate, and may require multiple sessions. As the body gradually metabolizes the released fat, clients may see a reduction in the targeted areas over several weeks to months.

What is the process?

Before we begin, we'll schedule a consultation with the client to get a better understanding of their goals and needs. During this session, we'll guide them through selecting the package that best fits their needs and plan out the sessions accordingly. We'll also conduct a body composition analysis (measuring weight, body fat, and BMI) to track progress after each session.

What are the contraindications?

Although Lipo-Laser is a non-invasive treatment, the following are some contraindications. Please consult with your physician before getting the treatment if you have the following conditions:

  • Patients Under The Age of 18

Are there any side effects?

Do you lose weight with laser lipo?

How is BMI interpreted for adults?

For adults 20 years old and older, BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories. These categories are the same for men and women of all body types and ages.

BMI                                                      Weight Status

  • Below 18.5                                           Underweight
  • 18.5 - 24.9                                           Healthy Weight
  • 25.0 - 29.9                                           Overweight
  • 30.0 and Above                                   Obesity

How good is BMI as an indicator of body fatness?

BMI does not measure body fat directly, but BMI is moderately correlated with more direct measures of body fat. The correlation between the BMI and body fatness is fairly strong, but even if two people have the same BMI, their level of body fatness may differ:

In general

  • At the same BMI, women tend to have more body fat than men.
  • At the same BMI, the amount of body fat may be higher or lower depending on the racial/ethnic group.
  • At the same BMI, older people, on average, tend to have more body fat than younger adults.
  • At the same BMI, athletes have less body fat than non-athletes.

How do you calculate your BMI?

Formula: weight(lb) / [height(in) square] x 703

What is the rule of thumb of all weight loss diet plans?

The most important rule of thumb is to follow the principle of calories in versus calories out. In order to maintain your current body weight, the number of calories that you consume must be the same as the number of calories you burn throughout the day. According to this rule, if you would like to lose weight, your body must be burning more calories than you are consuming.

Here are a few things that you could keep in mind during this transformation journey:

Consume low carb foods - Low carb foods like lean meats and eggs provide you much needed protein, boost metabolism, and boost the utilization of stored fat in your body.

Maintain water intake - According to the World Health Organization (WHO), drinking 1.5 liters of water daily is crucial for weight loss and maintaining metabolic activity.

Balance your intake - A good rule of thumb is to get half your intake from healthy carbs, a quarter of it from lean protein, and the rest from healthy fats.
