I-Lipo Laser Inch Loss Treatment

i-Lipo is the latest innovation in achieving body contouring and inch loss by laser lipolysis.  This latest alternative to liposuction is non invasive, with no needles, no anaesthetic, no pain and no down time. The i-Lipo machine is manufactured by Chromogenex;  the leading laser manufacturer based in the UK.  The i-Lipo is clinically proven in reducing inch loss.  Research using the i-Lipo has proven that ultrasound imagery shows up to 30% reduction after one treatment in the fat layer depth which can be 2-4 inches around the abdomen.

The average male should consume an average of 2500 calories and a female should consume an average of 2000 calories per day.  This however, is only an average.  The actual amount varies on height, weight, lifestyle and amount of exercise to name a few factors.  When the calorie intake of a person exceed the demand the additional calories are stored inside Adipocyte fat cells as fat.  The fat cells consist of sugars, fatty acids and water; once stored the cells can be difficult to reduce.

How does it work?

After an initial consultation involving a medical questionnaire with one of Vitality’s Specialist Therapists treatment can commence.  It is crucial to understand how the treatment works and to combine this with appropriate exercise and a healthy diet to gain the full benefits from the treatment.

• Once you are comfortable in one of our relaxing treatment rooms the i-Lipo paddles will be placed on or around the specific areas to be treated.  The healing laser beams penetrate the skin without damaging or altering any cells or structures around it.  The laser beam penetrates the skin to the exact depth to the fat cells.  The laser allows the cells to become porous, allowing the sugars, water and fatty acids to come out of the cell and into the interstitial space (which is the empty space inbetween the cells).  Due to this the adipocyte is essentially empty and therefore reduces considerably in size.
• The three substances which have come out from the adipocyte cells slowly get transported to the lymphatic system via the venous system which allow them to become part of the body’s natural metabolic digestive system and processed by the liver and kidneys.
  • It is then essential after having the treatment within 12 hours (Ideally immediately) to increase your heart rate by participating in cardiovascular activity to further speed up this process. (This could be as much as walking depending on your previous level of fitness).  Vitality leads itself to this type of treatment due to having the Health Club, Fitness Classes and i-fit Power Plate also for our i-Lipo clients to utilise.  Vitality has combined packages should you like to maximise the amount of inch loss you can gain from the i-Lipo treatment.
