Prior to the i-Lipo system, it was common for a person to undergo a typical liposuction procedure in order to remove excess body fat. Although, this procedure is effective, it was a painful surgical procedure that took weeks for a patient to recuperate. The i-Lipo has been clinically proven to achieve similar results to those achieve through liposuction without the need for surgery. In many cases, the i-Lipo is responsible for up to a 30% reduction in the thickness of the fat layer after one simple treatment and patients can return to their daily activities immediately, with no downtime.

According to Dr. Steven Shapiro from the Gardens Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery Center, "the i-Lipo body contouring system works by using a multitude of lasers that punctures the targeted fat cells and releases the triglycerides and the cholesterol stored within the cells." Dr. Shapiro further states that, "the heat of the laser beams emitted by the i-Lipo system is responsible for breaking down the contents of the fat cells, enabling them to be disposed of through the body's lymphatic system". This procedure is so effective that many patients are seeing drastic results after their first session. "It is not uncommon for patients to see a 7% - 10% reduction in the circumference of the targeted area being treated" stated Dr. Shapiro. A typical treatment routine consists of bi-weekly treatments over the course of 4 weeks.

Consistent exercising results in the reduction of overall body fat, as strenuous activity often creates a need for additional energy. Typically, the body converts stored fat throughout the body into a suitable fuel source. The benefit of the i-Lipo system is that clinician can directly reduce body fat is a particular area and actually mold and sculpt a person's body based upon the results they are looking to achieve. This technological breakthrough has allowed practitioners to target common problem areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, back, buttocks and chin.

The i-Lipo family consists of three models including the i-Lipo, i-Lipo Ultra, and the i-Lipo Ultra+. Each model uses laser pads that are positioned on the targeted area to emulate the body's natural response to strenuous exercise, by releasing the stored fat deposits in that specific area.

An i-Lipo treatment is safe and painless and can be implemented on a variety of body and skin types. Unlike liposuction and other invasive cosmetic procedures, an i-Lipo treatment does not cause any downtime and patients can return to their daily routine immediately. Although, there are numerous benefits associated with the i-Lipo contouring system, it is always advisable to seek the counsel of your local i-Lipo cosmetic practitioner.
