i-Lipo is a FDA approved proprietary brand of laser lipolysis technology (by Chromogenex), one of many which have flooded into the market in recent years in response to increased demand for plastic surgery procedures that are fast, convenient, non-invasive, and safe. i-Lipo utilizes low-level lasers in order to liquefy fat and remove it from the body. Unlike liposuction procedures, this one doesn’t involve the use of a cannula. The application of the laser is external, and the removal of the fat is done through the body’s own mechanisms. Its important to notice that i-Lipo is the body contact pad system to be cleared for Fat reduction.
How does i Lipo Work?
Instead of using a cannula, the doctor externally applies treatment pads to the targeted areas! The transmission of low-level laser beam (650nm) brings about a chemical signal which alters the cell’s chemistry leading to the release of an enzyme called lipase. This enzyme breaks down triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol inside the fat cells. Then the fatty acids and glycerol are released though channels in the fat cell membranes. After that these compounds are transported to the body tissues and are metabolised to create energy. For more info on how i Lipo laser works have a look here. You have to follow a session of 8 treatments in order for the full results to be achieved! Finally you have to follow post treatment physical exercise in order to make sure that the body will utilize all released fatty acids to create energy!Thirty to forty-five minutes of daily exercise post treatment is recommended! i Lipo can be applied in more than one body areas (which is definitely cost effective) but it is much safer to spread out your procedures.

Benefits
The process described above is an 100% natural response of the body, when there are energy needs. This is why i-Lipo is not creating any unnatural reaction in the body (like destroying fat cells and removing them via suction) and put the body through much less stress! What is also important is that the i Lipo process doesn’t cause any damage in blood cells, peripheral nerves or skin (which is a usual complication in other techniques such as ultrasound liposuction. Due to the above mentioned benefits i Lipo is a safer way to get rid of unwanted fat comparing to other lipolysis techniques.
Results should be immediately clear after a couple treatment, and you should be able to maintain the results over the long term as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. While the number of treatments vary, a typical course is 2 treatments per week for four weeks, though it may depend on how many areas you need done and also on how much fat you need removed. The average treatment takes about 2 cm off of the waistline, so it may take a while before you start noticing dramatic results. Of course many people who want plastic surgery want instant results, but the fact is, it is simply healthier and safer to take a gradual course at changing the shape of the body.
During a treatment session you will be able to target 2 areas. This allows you to address more than area at each visit. An example of this would be to first target the stomach area for 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes on the flank (high hip or maybe the low back fat region.

i Lipo Reviews
iLipo reviews seem generally positive, although there aren’t that many independent reviews of the procedure yet (you can view testimonials on the website however). This being the case, if you’re going to get a procedure, make sure to do thorough research on the doctor you’re going to use, though this should always be a step in getting liposuction of any type. The testimonials clearly express that i-Lipo does seem to have some benefits right off the top, however, the main one being its moderation.
i Lipo Side Effectsi-Lipo is advertised as being a painless technique with no side effects; however, if you have darker skin, there is a chance that pigmentation spots may appear. These are transient in nature however and should go away on their own.

About i-lipo Laser Fat Loss
i-Lipo Won " Best Slimming treatment" at "Les Victoire De La Beaute" France.
The award winning i-Lipo laser from Chromogenex offers your patients a safe and effective means to achieve immediate and measurable inch loss. i-Lipo uses low level laser technology (LLLT) to stimulate the body’s natural process for releasing its stored energy from adipose tissue, shrinking those fat cells and delivering the body shaping results your patients demand.
The human body stores excess calories from your diet in adipose tissue. When needed, those fat cells will break down their stored triglycerides into free fatty acids, glycerol and water, providing the body with energy during times of scarcity. That same metabolic process that is induced hormonally by the brain can also be triggered by low level laser energy delivered by i-Lipo.
i-Lipo is a revolutionary, non-invasive body shaping and cellulite reduction technology offering convenient, safe and pain free body contouring in as little as 20 minutes, without surgery and without downtime. This non-destructive approach to fat reduction can be used year-round on all skin types. i-Lipo treatments are passive and non-technique dependent, which means a constant manipulation of the device is not required. After the i-Lipo treatment pads are properly positioned, the technician is free to attend other office matters.
Clinical studies have confirmed the efficacy of the LLLT and the i-Lipo diode laser to deliver body shaping results. Four Treatments with two visits per week for four weeks are recommended (a total of 8 visits over a 4-week period). All parts of the body can be treated where fat is stored, including the waistline, thighs, arms, leg and even under the chin. Patients typically report a 10% inch loss reduction following a treatment regimen.
i-Lipo is the first direct skin contact laser device designed for fat reduction and body contouring to receive FDA approval for circumferential reduction. Based on results from a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study of 34 volunteers, the FDA found that over 70% of participants experienced significant inch loss, thus validating the use of i-Lipo to target specifically chosen anatomical areas for fat reduction. The results represented more than double the percentage difference for meeting significant results as defined by the FDA.

What can I do for best Results?
* 3 days prior to your appointment you will want to drink 1/2 your body weight in oz's of water. This extremely important to get the lymphatic system working. The Lymphatic System is how the contents of the fat cells get transported out of the body. A sluggish lymphatic system could hinder your results.
* Avoid tanning beds. The laser attracts to fat but if you have a tan body it might attract to the dark pimento of the skin. Avoid tanning 2 weeks prior to treatment and spray tanners will not be allowed to have an i-Lipo treatment until the spray tan has diminished.
* AM appointments eat a light breakfast with plenty of water. Try to avoid eating anything one hour before your treatment.
Afternoon appointments eat a light breakfast, light snack and a very light lunch. Avoid eating one hour prior to treatment and make sure to drink plenty of water.
* Evening appointments should eat light throughout the day and drink recommended amount of water.
* Plan your exercise routine as close to treatment as possible. Following your treatment you will have ENERGY TO BURN! Your brain knows this and will expect you to use it. If you don't you could restore the contents. Plan a 30-40 minute workout that promotes sweating.
* Wear or bring comfortable yoga pants or shorts to your appointment. If working on the legs, hips, saddle bags please bring in shorts or bottoms you feel comfortable in.

Are you FDA Approved? Chromogenex is delighted to receive FDA approval to market the successful i-Lipo low level laser diode device for circumference reduction of the waist. The i-Lipo is the first direct skin contact laser device for fat reduction and body contouring to receive such approval for circumference reduction. Results from a recent double-blind, placebo controlled randomised study of 34 volunteers were scrutinised by the FDA; the measurement data and patient satisfaction evaluation of treatment outcome validating the use of the i-Lipo to specifically target chosen anatomical areas for fat reduction.
Of the 34 male and female participants recruited onto the study, 19 were randomised into the treatment group and 15 into the control group. The treatment group received 8 20-minute laser treatment sessions, scheduled over a 3-4 week period, each of which were followed by a period of post-treatment exercise. The control group undertook an identical scheduling and exercise program, but using a sham light diode device. Participants were unaware of their group allocations until after the end of the study.
The individual success criteria for the study participants was to achieve a minimum reduction of 4.0cm (1.5 inches) from the circumference measurement of the waist from baseline following the course of 8 i-Lipo treatments. 79% (15 of 19 participants) of the test group achieved and surpassed this reduction, while only 6.7% (1 participant out of 15) of the control group achieved the target. This 72% difference between the two groups is more than double the % difference defined by the FDA as demonstrating a significant result from treatment. Comparison of the test group and control group mean circumference reduction from baseline measurements to the end of the treatment phase demonstrated a mean difference of -3.8cm between the two groups. This result is extremely statistically significant and gives a confidence of >99.99% that a participant undertaking i-Lipo will achieve a greater circumference reduction than a participant undertaking exercise alone in a 3-4 week period.
This study supports previous study data completed in France and the UK and from the current i-Lipo devices already placed in over 1000 commercial clinics worldwide.
