With the recent introduction to body sculpting and body contouring its difficult to understand what procedure to choose? Questions like; What are my options? Is this going to hurt? And of course the big question….How is this going cost? Which will provide weight loss?

In recent years, new non-invasive techniques have been invented to help individuals reduce unwanted fat and loose inches. The growth in these technologies comes from promises of reducing fat cells – within 30 minutes to 1 hour treatments without bruising, scarring or pain. You walk in and walk out of clinic without anyone knowing you had anything done. Body contouring and body sculpting procedures are non-surgical treatments that target and destroy fat cells without surgery. Two of the most popular options are Strawberry Lipo Laser and Coolsculpting. While they are different procedures, they both aim to get rid fat in stubborn areas such as abdomen, arms, thighs, and yes even men suffering from “moobs.” 

Strawberry Laser Lipo

Strawberry lipo treatment, is designed to reduce body fat. Unlike some high-level lasers, Strawberry lipo treatment is totally pain-free. It provides results without any pain or downtime associated with traditional liposuction. When the Strawberry Laser Lipo paddles are placed on the skin, the Class2, 3B laser beams penetrates the skin just deep enough to reach the layers of fat (9-13mm). The Strawberry Laser Lipo procedure places laser pads on the body where the fat is being targeted. When the light hits the fat cells, a rapid chain of events takes place.

Think of this as the “fat burning” phase of your workout. First, pores form on the cells causing them to spill out. The water, Glycerol and fatty acids move into the interstitial space beneath the fatty layer in the skin. Then further water, fatty acids and Glycerol spill out. The adipocyte cells reduce in size. This disruption does not affect the neighboring structures such as the skin, blood vessels or nerves. The lymphatic system then removes the fat through the liver and kidneys, where they are processed in the same way as fatty foods, the rest is passed out in the urine. At the same time, the laser stimulates the lymphatic system and helps tighten the tissue and skin.

The primary benefit of a Strawberry Lipo treatment is the loss of inches. However, patients also notice that cellulite appearance improves and their skin appears smoother and tighter after each treatment. This is an all-natural process triggering your body to perform a function that slows down due to lack of exercise and poor diet choices. The whole procedure is done over eight visits and there are no reports of pain or discomfort with Strawberry Laser Lipo. The laser pads don’t leave any marks, burns, or scars like traditional liposuction. However, those with pigmented skin are advised to start at a shorter time during the first few treatments.
