    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

    Welcome to the internet, and its pseudo-anonymity. If someone's offensive, don't reply - that's what they want. Instead, click on the 'report post' button on the lower right and remove their input.

    A troll feeds on attention.

    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.

    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! :smile:

    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.

    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.
