How does it work?

When calories exceed demand, the extra calories are stored as fat inside the Adipocyte fat cell. The fat contents are stored as semi-liquid inclusion in the cytosol of each cell. The i-Lipo emits low levels of laser energy, the fat cell membranes are disrupted releasing intra-celluar fat. This causes the cell to lose its round shape by changing the permeability of the cell membrane. This does not affect the neighbouring structure 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.

Treatment Process

To assess your suitability we first carry out a thorough confidential consultation that will involve measuring statistics in the area to be treated. Once you have been made comfortable in our private treatment room, the diode paddles are positioned on the appropriate area. The i-Lipo machine is then switched on for ten minutes (which is the time needed for Lipolysis to occur). The paddles and lymph diodes are then repositioned up to four times depending on the speed up the body's metabolic rate and by doing so stimulate the natural lymphatic system. Combined with dietary advice this will help prevent the body re-storing the fat that has been reletreatment area, before being removed. The treatment is very comfortable and pain free, the only sensation experienced is that of gentle warmth. Following the session it is vital to perform exercise as soon as possible.

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 calves, knees, thighs, 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 75 minutes

Can everyone have the treatment?

As with most treatments in our clinic, there are a few medical conditions that would stop us from performing the treatment. Our 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

Does it hurt?

The i-Lipo treatment is an extremely comfortable treatment - the only sensation felt from the treatment pads is a slight warmth.

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 programme is important to follow to enable the released fat to be used up as energy. This should be done within 24 hours of your i-Lipo treatment.

Is it suitable for men and women?

The i-Lipo treatment works equally well for both
