Noone? x

I couldn't explain it to you but am interested in hearing what others have to say. Bump

This does not look like good science. I'm very skeptical.

Looks like a crock of ****e to me. Triglycerides are the molecule your body stores fat in, so when they're broken down you're losing fat. Firing lasers at yourself seems stupid.. Just eat less work more

Considering the amount of exercise I do - I cannot eat any less!! I have worked my *kitten* off (literally) and now I am just doing a lil experiment with laser-lipo to see what happens. I am hopefully going to give everyone who wanted to know whether it actually works a decent/honest review.

I could be reading this all wrong, but it sounds to me like it's a way of forcing fatty acid release into the system for use/elimination.

I'd talk to a doctor if you're seriously considering it. Your usual GP, if possible, NOT someone who represents I-Lipo and has a bias to sell the procedure to you.

This is junk science. While infrared and red laser light has been used in the past to stimulate healing (just as UV lasers have been used to stimulate skin growth) the idea that pulsing a 650nm beam at your cells will result in them shedding fat is untested and unsupported in any journal I could find.
It is POSSIBLE it works. There are patients who have paid thousands who SAY it works. There has not (that I can find) been a legitimate, third-party double-blind test on the process for effective weight loss.
It all comes down to the basics:
Eat well.
Exercise.
Lose weight.

Do you know what I wonder sometimes? If cause we use to carry more fat in the past around our middle, our tummy can't get very lean again. Maybe there will always be a jiggle? Maybe it's a bit of lose skin? I was thinking about that cause it seem that I am getting muscles everywhere but my tummy is the hardest and even though I can see definition in it and my waist is shrinking, when I sit down I can still see rolls :-( And maybe it’s just our genes to carry any bit of fat we have around there… xxx

They use lasers for lipo, but not in this method.

This is actually good advice, I would ask my GP. They would know more than us :-) xxx

I am doing all of those things. I just had some spare cash and had always been curious so I thought I would do it and then post my comments/results xx

I am not attempting to be rude and offer my sincere apology if my comment came across as such, i also did not intend my one sentence response to be seen as a lecture and offer the same for that.

I merely wanted to point out the most likely conclusion for the experiment based on things i have read here before.

TiffaniBarrett

Thats no problem Chairless - just some people are being so rude about it and it just makes me maaaaaddd!!

I merely wanted to point out the most likely conclusion for the experiment based on things i have read here before.

And that is why I am doing it..... to give my honest opinion on it all (as I havent seen a full on blog/post about it)

I just looked at your progress pics, babe...you got nothin' to worry about! You don't need to lipo a thing!

Just keep doing what you're doing and take that money and buy something nice for yourself as a reward for your hard work...

Cheers!

lickmybaconcakes

from what I can gather: the fat cells become denatured by the laser and start to lose someone of their storage (fatty acids), the fatty acids are now in the blood stream so your metabolism has to increase in order to use them ( why you have to exercise after otherwise your body will store it again) and then I think they remove the broken fat cells.

rowyourboat

I don't even see where you could use the laser lipo. Just keep doing whatever you are doing. Buy a new outfit instead.

I'll check out the FDA database about this. I just want to make sure that company has not gotten a corporate warning letter or failure reports from Doctors.

This. I have no clue where your going to get fat calls removed from your body as you look pretty darn fit.

Hopelessbird

Ha! The I-Lipo device was classified as a massager. All it does is heat up the skin and surface fat/muscle (though argon or carbon dioxide laser), then massage it. The faux theory is that the heat and massage will help melt off the top layer fat to reduce cellulite.

SordidEuphemism

My guess?

It's a multi-thousand-dollar placebo.

Hopelessbird

If the faux theory is true, hot yoga and a deep tissue massage will do the exact same thing.

nixirain

From what I gather: The laser gives your cells a jolt which causes them to shake out the fatty acid in your cells and forced into (this part isn't clear) your system, I'm not sure which part and transformed into an energy source.

Doesn't make much since to me, but the graph is probably only part of a presentation. The rest is probably explained by the person selling the product.

I will step up and take that extra cash off your hands for you. It will probably do you the same amount of good: none.

There was an issue with rude trolls on another post like this, so the moderators shut it down!! I've had the treatment, and whether or not the science makes sense, I lost cm's following it... get in contact with me if you want to know more or ask any questions!
