How Does it Work?
Lipo-Ex uses radio frequency to specifically target fat cells. The treatment increases your body's core temperature to a point of dissolving fat cells, without causing damage to other internal organs. It is the first technology to melt the unhealthy and dangerous fat linked to heart disease and diabetes. CT scans, body circumference and weight measurements have confirmed that Lipo-Ex results in the loss of 2-3 inches and 10 lbs of weight in just 6 weeks for most patients. It causes the disruption of fat cell membranes, thus causing the fatty content to leak out into the interstial tissue. The fat is then absorbed by the lymphatic system and eventually eliminated naturally via the urine and feces. The natural elimination is one of the features distinguishing Lipo-Ex from the other invasive and minimally invasive techniques, such as Smart Lipo, Vaser and liposuction. Eliminating the fat, since it is not vacuumed or sucked out, requires the patients' participation. The patient has to do some mild form of exercise such as walking ½ hour three times a week to keep the lymphatic and circulatory system moving, drink lots of water to aid in elimination and use a bowel prep to facilitate fat loss naturally.
Furthermore, invasive techniques remove or kill the fat cells, making it difficult to gain fat back in the treated area. However, if one “falls off the wagon” with healthy lifestyle habits, the weight will be gained and will do so in other areas. This often leads to a disproportionate and funny looking figure. Since the major mechanism of action of Lipo Ex is to reduce fat cell volume and not remove or kill the fat cell, weight gain can occur proportionately if weight gain should recur.
What is a treatment like?
Lipo-Ex feels like a hot stone massage. A treatment session lasts about an hour and can be done on lunch break or on the way home from work. There is no significant swelling or disfigurement, therefore there is no downtime. It can even be performed during the summer months, without altering your daily activities, including wearing your swim suit. This technology also reduces the appearance of cellulite and tightens loose, sagging skin. It can be performed on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, arms, back, face, including under eye fat pads, and the neck.
