The American aesthetic scene is finally getting a taste of iLipo, the non-surgical body contouring system that has swept the United Kingdom and Canada. iLipo uses an advanced diode laser to infiltrate the skin, and reach the body’s fat layer. Extra inches and jiggle, begone! Studies have shown that the system can reduce fat by 30%, which is comparable to the results seen with liposuction surgery. iLipo is ideal for trouble spots that diet and exercise just won’t help—like the lower abdomen, love handles, thighs, back, and beyond.
iLipo is a laser liposuction system that can reduce excess fat with no anesthesia, needles, or downtime. Using gentle diode laser, iLipo passes through the skin’s surface to the fat layer. The next step is what makes iLipo from other body contouring methods that are available. The laser turns the existing triglycerides into metabolic energy, which is released through cell membranes. This process mimics the actual weight loss process and doesn’t introduce any foreign substances into your system. iLipo simply encourages your body to burn fat the way it always does—which makes it an ideal option for people highly interested in less artificial ways of improving their image. After your iLipo session, clients are encouraged to up their exercise regime to completely flush out the transformed fat.
As with most body contouring treatments, experts recommend a series of treatments for optimal results. You’ll be able to see the effects of iLipo immediately after a session: no more waiting around! On average, patients see about one inch of fat loss after a single session. So while the effects of iLipo will be apparent and high for a non-surgical treatment, it’s best suited to people who are already in relatively good shape and are working on trouble spots. iLipo won’t reduce your overall body fat by a large amount—that’s better left to surgical liposuction. But if you’re just looking to improve those fat deposits that won’t budge, iLipo may be right for you.
The most basic difference between iLipo and liposuction is that iLipo is non-invasive and tumescent liposuction is a surgical procedure. iLipo offers gradual results, is pain-free, and ideal for people looking for a slight tweak. Liposuction offers far more dramatic results, requires significant downtime post-procedure, and is more costly.
iLipo is just one way to get rid of excess fat through non-surgically. Other popular body contouring methods include Zerona™, Zeltiq CoolSculpting™, and VelaShape™.
